You know when writing down the list of things I love, getting woken up in the middle of the night several times is right up there at the top. Probably somewhere in between blindly stepping on a toy in the dark on my way to the bathroom and getting thrown up on as I'm eating dinner. Both good times, let me tell you.
So now that you know how I feel about it you can pretty much imagine how my night went. I think that my children however missed that memo about my likes and dislikes. The evening started somewhere around midnight when James decided to shake me awake to tell me he wasn't comfortable....I am pretty sure you can get comfortable without making the announcement but gee thanks for making sure I stay informed. Next he woke me up because dad was snoring and he wanted to know if I wanted him to shake him and tell him to stop...nope I wasn't bothered by it because I was ASLEEEP. At about 1:30 he persisted in talking to himself since he couldn't sleep. Listen a good bedtime story starts before the person is actually asleep just so you are aware son. I mean I love random thoughts as much as the next guy but not so much when they are doing the opposite of putting me to sleep so if you are that awake make your way to your own bed. At about 3:00 he asked me if he could watch cartoons because he couldn't sleep, evidently I can't either according to him. I said no because at 6 a.m. you will think differently about that option now lay down, quit making weird noises, telling me stories, singing me songs, shaking me, rolling over, sniffling, calling my name, poking at my face to see if I am awake, well basically EVERYTHING you have been doing for the last hour or go in your own bed. I think he's got the message but no, he gets up to go to the bathroom and makes it to the hallway before coming back to wake me up and ask me if I hear that tapping noise. Let's see again NO because again I was SLEEPING.
