Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow! I woke up in the middle of the night, having to go to the bathroom. I yawned and split my upper lip. Holy crap it hurts.

We've been co-sleeping with Gabriel recently. He just doesn't want to sleep in his bed anymore. If we put him in his bed, he'll wake up and run right into our room. He's willing to sleep on the LoveSac in the living room, and while it's great for a nap, I'm not having him sleep on it all night. To be honest, I don't mind having Gabriel in bed with us. It's actually kind of nice to wake up and have him cuddling me with a death grip on my arm. I just wonder why he doesn't want anything to do with his bed.

Gabriel's also been having problems going to sleep at night. When we try to get him to go to sleep around here, we're lucky if he's asleep by 11pm. Some nights we head out in Rob's car and drive him around. While it works to get him to sleep, with the price of gas it's not something we can do every night. Rob filled his car up last night and it cost over $75! Insane.

I'm getting more and more exhausted by the day. Gabriel doesn't go to sleep until super late, it's hard for me to fall asleep and when I do I wake up often during the night, and I spend my days chasing after him. *thud*

I once read somewhere that great depressions come every 80 years. The last one started in 1929. I'm afraid to see how bad things get come 2009. I hope things get better and not worse. I'm in desperate need of a job, my Mom needs to sell her house, and I have several close friends who are greatly feeling the pinch of this terrible economy.

Intelligence

Intelligence is your strongest virtue

Intelligence (also called intellect) is an umbrella term used to describe a property of the mind that encompasses many related abilities, such as the capacities to reason, plan, and solve problems. And you? Your brain shines. All 7 virtues are a part of you, but your intelligence runs deepest.
It is likely you're a smarty-pants. And it's likely (but not necessary) that your discipline score is high also. It takes a certain resolve to maintain all those neural thingies.
Intelligent famous people: Einstein, Shakespeare, Da Vinci.
Your raw relative scores follow. 0% is low, and 100% is perfect, nearly impossible. Note that I pitted the virtues against each other, so in some way these are relative scores. It's impossible to score high on all of them, and a low score on one is just relatively low compared to the other virtues.
