My Night

My night:

1. 9:30 PM - think about going to bed.
2. 9:35 PM - decide to watch two more "Sons of Guns" on Netflix.
3. 10:30 PM - appreciate the craftsmanship of gun-making, affirm that, despite that appreciation, I still will never let one in the house, decide to go to bed.
4. 11:30 PM - drift off to sleep
5. 1:30 AM - Lucie is cold and climbs into bed with me
6. 1:45 AM - I am too hot and I'm trying to sleep with both arms over my head, sandwiched in between Hun and Lu the bed hog.
7. 2:00 AM - I'm still awake
8. 2:05 AM - I give up, take my pillow and climb into Lu's bed.
9. 2:25 AM - I'm thinking about all of the projects I have left in her room
10. 2:45 AM - her bed is soft and making my joints ache
11. 3:07 AM - shuffle out to the kitchen to take four ibuprofen.
12. 3:10 AM - become annoyed that it looks like I'll be starting my Monday sleep-deprived
13. 3: 30 AM - the ibuprofen has made my aches go away but seems to be burning a hole in my stomach
14. 3:37 AM - shuffle out to the kitchen to eat a banana
15. 3:45 AM - begin having angry, sarcastic thoughts toward the sleeping members of my household "I hope you all are ENJOYING YOUR SLEEP."
16. 3:51 AM - the banana isn't cutting it, shuffle back out to the kitchen for a bowl of cereal
17. 4:20 AM - at least I'm not in pain.... I'm not asleep either
18. 4:45 AM - completely lose perspective - "I CAN'T TAKE A NAP UNTIL WEDNESDAY!!! MY WEEK IS RUINED."
19. 5:15 AM - the angry thoughts and lost perspective turn to violent thoughts - "Let's see how well they sleep if I pinch them!"
20. 5:30 AM - "♫ ♪ Nobody knows the trouble I seeeeeen, Nobody knows my sorrow.♪ ♫
21. 6:05 AM - Make mental lists of everything that I won't get done this week because I'm soooooo tired.
22. 6:30 AM - reclaim my bed, kick Lu out and send her back to her bed.
23. 6:35 AM - fall sound asleep
24. 7:38 AM - awaken to "Mom.... mom.... I have to go to school soon...." *evil look from me* "OK, OK mom, you can sleep for a few more minutes
25. 7:43 AM - try to get up
26. 7:46 AM - try again
27. 7:49 AM - third time's a charm
28. 7:51 AM - make sure that I remind Lu several times that my sleep deprivation is her fault.
29. 8:10 AM - she has both hugged me and said "sorry" and then laughed at me.... twit.
30. 8:16 AM - head out to the car and notice the beautiful weather
31. 8:20 AM - drop Lu off and decide that the day might be redeemable.
32. 9:00 AM - start writing this post
33. 9:45 AM - realize that I'm still not going to get to nap until Wednesday.
