when you live with a three year old, there are many nights when just as your head hits the pillow, you hear the door of her bedroom creak and know she is on her way into your room. my girls make nonstop requests for drinks, snacks, get this or that please... and at night i start losing my cool (more than usual).
yesterday i was talking with my coworker about the march schedule and she said there is a lot of "call" coming in. this is when you are "on call" at night, something i have done a lot of in the past, but just can't stand now. the reason? well, i am "on call" here at home even on the nights i am not "on call" for work, this means sleep is very big deal to me. i tried to explain this to her and attempted to get out of as much as possible.
sooooo....last night at maybe 3 in the morning we wake up to liz calling us from the hall...then in our room...."mommy daddy....can you put this dress on this doll, i cant do it!!!" now how can you get mad at that request?

Oh my goodness! Go to sleep girls, mama is tired.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is when they don't call your name, but they walk in (creeping) at 2:45 in the morning and just stare at you. Staring, and staring, until you feel a presence and as you open your eyes in dark, there is a baby standing there (like the guy at the end of Blair Witch Project) and you about have a heart attack seeing a small child, blankie, and frazzled hair, wanting water.
ReplyDeleteI think that parents don't get gray hairs from that. I think they have mild strokes and are left with the end results of the whitening of the hair and losing your mind on them.
