i need coffee. lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of coffee. anybody know where i can get me some of that caffeinated water?
we took the boys for a drive last night in the hopes that we could get them to go to bed a bit early. it worked, thankfully, and hubby and i were able to get an early night for a change, too. i was off to dreamland so quickly, which is unusual for me, that i don’t think i even moved the whole night. let me qualify that, though. i’m not sure what time i woke up this morning.
you see, our power must have gone out briefly yesterday afternoon. it only seemed to affect the little digital clock that we have sitting on our entertainment center. i don’t know why, but neither i nor my husband reset it. so when i woke up this morning all i could see was that the clock was blinking. i couldn’t even read it from where i was. we can see the clock from our bedroom.
anyway, i hed to get up to do my business and that was when i realized that my dear, angelic oldest son WAS AWAKE!!! he wasn’t getting into trouble or anything. he was sitting up in bed talking to himself. you know how 4 year olds are. once he realized i was up, that seemed to be an indication to him that it was ok to get up and start playing. ugh.
the thing to know about my oldest child is that once he’s awake, he’s awake, thank you very much! you can not get him back to sleep, no matter how much you coax, plead, demand, bribe, whatever. in turn, if he’s asleep, he’s usually deeply asleep and good luck to you if you want to wake him up. unless you have ice cream. that’ll work. usually.
so, anyway, he wasn’t going back to bed. i have no idea how long he was up before i awoke, but he is still going strong. he woke his brother up a few hours ago. and my early morning is starting to catch up to me.
at least i got to spend a little time with hubby before he left for work.
*yawn*
here's my gripe...
