Tarik's grandmother is having her trepanation today so since my mother in law will be at the hospital all day with her, Travis will be coming to work with me.  When he was 6 months old, this was very easy because I could just leave him in his stroller all day, or, make a pallet for him on the floor and he wouldn't really go anywhere.  Now that he is a walking machine, today will be a challenge.  I am going to be extremely busy today and it is going to be tough to be able to get any work done.  There is not really anywhere in my work area that I can set up for him to roam around in, and he is going to get restless and bored and fussy.  I am going to bring my portable DVD player to work with me today in hopes that any Baby Einstein videos I play for him will not go unwatched and will keep him occupied, to an extent.

And of course, since I have more than an extra hour to myself this morning since I don't have to take him to his grandmother's, I woke up EXTRA early instead of sleeping in, because that is what my body wanted to do.  I didn't even have a chance to argue with my brain about it waking up before the alarm went off.   I just did, and then Foo Fighters came on the radio.  I could think of worse things to wake up to.
