  • What Was He Thinking???

    TALES FROM THE BRAT FARM

    Chewlee and I had a hell of a start to our day.  I'm sure that Chewlee fell asleep early on the Princess...or not.  No telling with kids but it sure ruined my day.  For some reason, at 3:30am, the Beast came in and woke up both Chewlee and me.  I looked at him and said, *Are you nuts?  It's only 3:30 in the morning!*  He just said, *If  you say so...* and turned off the light and went back to bed. 

    It was too much of a shock for Chewlee, who was UP after that.  So I dragged my butt up when I couldn't get either her or myself back to sleep.  Since she was hungry, I got her some cereal that she ate about half of and then she grabbed and ate an apple.  I decided to get her dressed and put on cartoons (yes, NickJr. has them on at 4 in the morning ) for her.  She finally said to me, *I'm tired, Grandma.* so I told her to close her eyes and I would wake her up later.  I let her sleep until 6:20am, turned the cartoons on in the living room and made sure I had her snack packed and her jacket ready.  At 6:40am, I had her come over to me (I was standing by the front door with the porch light on) and I put her jacket on her just as the bus pulled up.  The driver stopped, opened the door for her as she ran down the stairs and over to the bus. 

    I turned off the porch light after the bus pulled away and closed the front door.  I tried to go back to sleep since I had only had about four hours but wasn't able to so I gave up, got up and read my email.  Around 11:30 or so, the Beast finally woke up.  When I asked him why in hell did he wake us up at 3:30am, he said he swore he heard the alarm.  He never looked at the clock until he went back to bed and he felt really dumb.

    Finally, around noon, I felt so tired that I just closed the door and went to sleep.  I slept away most of the day but, even now, I feel drugged and still sleepy.  I'm going to do this post and head to bed.  I did grab something to eat and took my pills (with my luck, it'll end up waking me fully and my whole sleep cycle will be screwed up).

    It was another day that was both dismal and rainy.  You know the kind I mean.  Sleeping seems like the perfect thing to do on a day like today.  And I guess that's why it was so easy for me to do.

    I sure hope the weather was better elsewhere in the country.  That some people got to see the sun and feel like doing things.  Love you all and hope it was YOU.
