Night Musings

When you tell people your child sleeps through the night your child will then stop sleeping through the night. 


I may or may not be speaking from personal experience. 


I may or may not have been up every night the last few weeks between 1:00 and 4:00ish.


Good times. 


I'm a 8-9 hours of sleep kinda girl. 


Less than that makes me cranky and ornery.  


Sorry Brian.  


And my co-workers. 


And the general population. 


But being up in the middle of the night does allow me plenty of time for random thinking....

• Can I stretch $30 into getting me a new summer wardrobe? 

• At what age is it appropriate for me to stop listening to rap music? 

• Why do businesses use the letter "K" to replace words that begin with a C in their company name?  Is the Klassy Boutique really classy?

• How many times is it acceptable to go into Target in a given week? When do the employees start to address you by  name?

• Why on God's green earth will this child not go to sleep? 

• What happened to Bachelorette Emily's teeth?

• How long does it take to put in a inground pool?  Could I have it by next weekend? 

• Do I have time to take a nap tomorrow afternoon? What about tomorrow night? What's the earliest I could be in bed by? 

At some point the little man starts snoring.  Daylight is breaking and I climb back into bed.  

Mentally establishing the number of times I can hit the snooze button before I get up.  

From this day out, I do solemnly swear to never, ever state that my child is a good sleeper.

The end.
