Sleep is overrated
November 24th, 2008Last night was one of the worst nights in the history of sleepless nights.
Zoey Belle was crying out for and Linds tried to get her to sleep for hours. I think they eventually passed out around 2.
Hadley then got up at 4 something because “the Firefighters were making too much noises”. I spent about 10 minutes trying to figure out what that meant, but they she told me she was also being chased by a giraffe. Ok, thank goodness, she was dreaming.
Zoey continued her velociraptor screeches every half hour or so, just to make sure we hadn’t completely fallen asleep.
Hadley continued her up and down for about 2 hours until I finally put her on the couch and I slept on the other end.
I woke up with 5 minutes to get to work, just as Linds and Zoey were waking up. Needless to say, Lindsey was going to have a long day.
Hadley was her usual bi-polar self. Well, that’s how she gets when she is tired. She is either really really happy or exploding.
We had a good lunch and the afternoon didn’t go too bad.
I got home and Hadley, Zoey and I played in the girls’ room until supper. We all ate and everyone had a nice time. We’ve decided that Hadley is going to have a serious tv/movie cutback. She is not only obsessed with movies, but loses her mind when you tell her she can’t watch them. It’s time to nip this one in the bud.
The whole family spent the rest of the evening sitting in the office. The girls played on the floor for awhile and then I held Zoey while Lindsey and Hadley read books. Bedtime came and despite Hadley crying and saying she didn’t want to go to bed, she went down easily and fell asleep even quicker.
ZB stayed up for awhile and I just held her on my lap for an hour or so. It was nice bonding time with the cute little squirt.
Lindsey has now zonked out on the couch and I’m about to drag her up to bed so I can do the same.
