"in a real dark night of the soul, it is always three o'clock in the morning." f. scott fitzgerald...three in the morning is a good time for this metaphor to become literal.

My competition
As Taxman was kissing me goodbye this morning, a little voice piped up from across the room:
"Kiss me, Abba!"
This from someone not at all inclined to speak in complete sentences.
ONE: singular.
TIRED: I haven't slept through the night since August 2003.
EMA: (Heb., also trans. IMA) mother.
My partner in crime, Taxman, and I spend our days--and sometimes nights--raising our little girl, Miss M (summer '04), and our little boy, AM (spring '06).
I sometimes do freelance editing for the government at night, but I mostly watch too much tv and don't read as much as I should.
I used to be smarter.
But I love my kids.
