1. This evening my mom was going to spend the night so that Paul and I could go see a movie and not worry about keeping her up late.
2. But then the movies were before the kids were in bed and after I wanted to be starting a movie when we are still catching up on sleep from when our friends visited.
3. We tucked Birdie in with the Puke Bucket because she was complaining about a sick stomach. When she got up at 9:00 and then 9:30 to throw up, I was so glad it was on my watch and not my mom’s.
…I asked her if she had slept at all and she said, “Well I started to and then I thought, ‘I better stay up so that I can be alert in case I throw up.'”
She’s eight, God bless her.
I generally never want to be alert…particularly when I’m throwing up, but it generally keeps me awake nonetheless. 🙂
