White Lightning Axiom: Redux

So I'm just laying there on the bedroom floor. The family dogs laying on either side of me, snoring away. My eyes are heavy with sleep. I am profoundly exhausted, and all I managed to do is mow the lawn and put the clippings in the garden. That and go through the nightly routine of entertaining the twins. I could blame the weather, but it has actually cooled down a bit here in Philly. I could blame my MS, but it has not been giving me much trouble of late. Perhaps it's the general lack of sleep? Or maybe I am just getting older. The first 2 days of the week, the twins woke up in the middle of then night and that kind of set a bad trend in motion. We ended up putting the portable air-conditioner in their room to help them sleep better. Nothing like hoisting squirming toddlers, slick with sweat from their cribs and trying to sooth them back to a blissful slumber. Although the wife is immune to the muggy heat of summer, my Minnesota blood tends to prefer a much cooler environment. I miss my AC, but the kids come first. If they are sleeping, then I might get 40 winks. Someday, I'll be sitting in my over-stuffed lounge chair, telling my grand-kids about how easy their parents had it. Why when I was a kid ... up-hill, both ways, just to get to bed.
