If Only I Could Feed Her In My Sleep....

Trevor and I went for a drive last night. We were trying to find at least one four-wheeling trail that isn't buried in snow. We didn't have any luck. I'm really glad we had a good winter with a lot of snow. We really need it for our lakes and our crops. But right now I'm SO tired of seeing snow everywhere. Okay, it has pretty much melted off down here but there is still a TON in the mountains. Every time I look at them, I get discouraged! It'll be the end of May AT LEAST before we can really get up anywhere! Actually, that's not true. I underestimate Trevor's determination and recklessness. :) If anyone can get through the snow drifts, he can. He'll read this and say, "We'll be able to ride in the hills before the end of May!" and then he'll say, "I'm not reckless, I'm skilled." And I'll say, "You'll try your hardest to get up there, even if we can't. And you may have a lot of practice driving in snow but it scares the stuffing out of me when your testosterone levels start to spike!" And he'll shake his head at me and tell me that I worry too much and I just need to TRUST HIM! He's probably right to some extent. I do worry too much. But I have a reason to worry now. I have a baby at home and she needs her mommy and daddy---alive. So I'll continue to be the voice of reason that whispers in his ear and he'll continue to get as many thrills and adrenaline rushes as he can.

Anyway, where was I? Oh yeah. So we went for a ride last night in Old Blue. It was a nice ride. Until we encountered snow drifts across the road. We were so close to the end of the road but we didn't quite make it. Trevor wanted to keep going but we didn't want to get stuck. So we turned around and came back. Much to my relief. We had the four wheeler in the back of the truck but I wasn't dressed for four-wheeling. I should know by now that when we go for a ride, I need to come prepared to get out and get dirty. But it was our first ride of the season so I wasn't prepared.

I've really strayed from the title of this post. My mind wanders sometimes. Okay, it runs a marathon everyday! Anyway, back to the point of this post. I was pretty tired last night when we got home. I got Emma to go to sleep at about 12:30. I laid her in her car seat, which was sitting next to me on the bed. Then I laid down and went to sleep. I don't know what happened after that but when I woke up at five, I was holding Emma. So at some point I must have taken her out of her car seat. But I slept through it. Now what I really want to know is, why don't I feed her and change her in my sleep too. Heck, why don't I clean the apartment and cook meals in my sleep too!? Honestly. Then again, maybe I do and I don't know it. Well, I know I don't cook and clean in my sleep! When I wake up the apartment is still dirty and my stomach is growling. But maybe I feed her and I don't know it. No, I know I don't feed her in my sleep too. I don't think I need to go into details on that.

So anyway, Emma must have been a little fussy and I picked her up in my sleep. Or maybe I just picked her up for no reason at all. It's such a weird feeling to not be able to remember doing something. I just can't imagine what happened. Maybe Emma hopped out of her car seat and climbed into my arms. You never know.......
