What happened to the silence?

That's right the owl ate it and the coyotes made it deaf...
I was so proud of myself last night... I was in bed by 11. This is a real accomplishment whenever Austin is out of town. I just don't sleep well when he is gone. I'm not saying that I slept the best but I was in bed.
Usually out here in the country there are very few noises at night. Usually. That, however, was not the case last night.
No, last night there was an owl in the grove that decided that it needed to hoot all night. Well except for when it actually got something. I don't think it was a mouse though because I have never heard a mouse sound like that. Let me try to recreate what it sounded like. Hoot! SKREEEEEEETTTTCCCCHHHHH. Skreech.. Skreech.... Skreech... Skreeeeeeeeeeee....I am guessing it was some other night wanderer. I can't say as that I really care what it was, I just wanted it to shut up.
Then the coyotes started in. Which of course that set Hyde off and he decided that he needed to lay on Austin's pillow and growl out the window for over an hour. I didn't so much mind him laying on Austin's pillow it was the growling out the window that annoyed me. I figure if Austin didn't want him to sleep on his pillow then he should have told me;)~
I finally passed out about 2 or so, I'm guessing closer to 3. The last time I remember seeing on the alarm clock was 1:58. Mason, bless his little heart, even let me sleep in until the late hour of 8. Well, that is when I finally heard him anyways. When he gets older I will have to explain to him the benefits of sleeping in.
