Can’t Catch A Wink
2011
Two hours ago, I went to bed. I was tired. I have yet to get any sleep which is why I am sitting up…awake. In the last two hours I have been visited by Cole 3 times. The first time he fell out of bed, the second he wanted to sleep in my bed and the last time, although I doubt it will actually be the last time, he wanted something to drink.
On two of my trips back to Cole’s room, I stepped in pee from the dog who I can only guess at this point has actually lost her mind. Not that there was that much there to lose in the first place. After peeing in the floor…twice, she felt the need to pace around in front of the back door indicating that she had to go out…to pee. Not wanting an unexpected surprise from the other end, I got up and let her out.
While I was waiting for her to pace around the patio listening to night creatures pee, Ansley came out of her bedroom. It was at that moment that I wondered if they made those vinyl wall words that said “Grand Central Station”. Because if they did, I was going to have it made for my kitchen. So, I take Ansley back to bed. Their is nothing more charming than a 4 year old who awakes suddenly in the middle of the night, unless of course, said 4 year old is fighting a cold and wants to argue over the fact that the doll I know for a fact is sitting on the couch is the same doll she went to bed with and it must have fallen out of her bed at which time the dog must have taken it to the couch. Which I believe is impossible because when would the dog have had time to do that with all of the peeing she had been doing!
Now, both kids are back in bed, dog in empty, Mr. M2C is snoring even though in the morning he will tell me he “didn’t sleep very well last night” and me?…well I am WIDE awake. The house sleeps and I do not. I never hear Mr. M2C say anything about not being able to sleep and sitting up on the couch until the wee hours of the morning. It must be one of those “mom things”.
It’s probably best that we don’t know all of the “mom things” that come along with this job before we get knee deep in it because if we did, no one would ever do the job!
Goodnight!…I hope!
