Last night the birds did not sleep. The birds outside of Tae’s window did not sleep. Last night Tae did not sleep. So, last night I did not sleep either. We are tired. 2 am and the birds were having a gab fest…I was so tired that part of me thought it might be a joke. It was so loud I thought maybe someone was out there with a tape recorder. Silly me. It was surreal.
This morning I made pancakes for breakfast. Tae hugged my leg and jump up and down with excitement. I got a heartfelt “thank you mama, thank you mama”…she ate six small ones. She can pack those pancakes in. We were late for school. It was worth it. So worth it!
Tonight Tae is going on an adventure with one of her friends from school. It was an optional sleepover event, I opted out. Partly because I think she is too small, partly because of the challenges we have been having lately, partly because she hasn’t been getting enough sleep. It should be interesting when I go to get her later tonight. While she is away I plan to go to the grocery store. I am excited. I love pacing up and down the aisles looking at all the items. It drives everyone else crazy and so I never get to pace to my full potential. There is something therapeutic about pacing a store.
Trying not to think about the SCORPIONS!
I think it's always harder for parents to let their kids sleep over. :)We had my four year nephew and his mom was like "he won't be able to sleep alone (they still co-sleep), call me when he gets scared..." He slept like a champ. lol. She still doesn't really believe us like maybe we drugged him or something. lol.Shoot those birds next time.
