After our big adventure on Sunday, Ben was very tired. I didn't think he went to bed earlier than normal, but he woke up at 3:45 AM!!!!!!! 3:45 AM!!!!!!!!!
I woke up to his wiggling in our bed and asked in a fog, "When did you get here?"
Ben, "Oh I've been up. First I went pee, then got the flash light and went to the living room and turned on the light. Then I tried to turn on the kitchen light by the computer, but couldn't. Then I came in your bed because there was nothing to do!"
I suggested he go back to sleep.
Ben said he wasn't tired. He sounded like he'd been up an hour!
After trying to lay still so he'd fall back asleep and telling him to stop wiggling, he got down. I followed him.
"What am I suppose to do?"
"Go back to sleep. It's the middle of the night."
That wasn't happening.
So I told him he could play quietly in his room and not to wander around the house.
I went back to bed. It was about 4:15 by now.
At about 5 am Katie appeared next to me. Her throat hurt....
I got up again. Then I gave in and let them watch television.
I know, BAD PARENT!!!!! But I stayed up super late watching Dexter. I was sooooo tired.
Lesson to be learned: No Naps after 3!
Katie hasn't been feeling well for several days with a sore throat, headache, fever...
So you know when their sick we tend to let them watch more t.v. than usual. Yesterday I had her turn off the television for a break and suggested we do something at the dining room table.
She responded, "Mom, my head hurts and my brain hurts and I can't do anything that makes me use my brain."
"Okay." I respond.
"Can I go on Webkinz?"
Me, "Uh, NO!"
