Waking up late and other tales of woe
August 1, 2003
I woke up at the impossible hour of NINE AM today. Un-be-fucking-lievable. M is still asleep, and C, who went to bed at 7:30 last night, was the one who woke me. I think he had been trying to wake me since 8 AM, but I used my incredible mama-needs-sleep powers to resist opening my eyes. Once I open my eyes, it's history. There's no going back. But if I can keep my eyes closed, he usually goes back to sleep.
There was a point at like 3 in the morning where C did wake up and demand milkinasippycup@!!!!!! Amazingly, I was able to get up and get him some soy milk without muttering angrily and exasperatedly, and he was willing to go back to sleep right after he finished drinking. He actually said "I close eyes and go sleep now." How nice! Perhaps I should remember that next time I start throwing a temper tantrum of my own when he wakes up in the middle of the night.
Today, what do I have planned? I'll probably go to the Y and actually talk to someone in person, since no one appears to be answering my e-mails. Then I'll go get myself some coffee or maybe even some *gasp* lunch. Then I'm thinking I'll swing by connections to check out some cool toys for the kiddos. It's my day off, you know, so I get my allotted and coveted Time To Myself. I'll probably sneak over to the library and pick up a few chapter books for M, as well as returning some. The kid has been reading a book a day for the past week. I hate to be lazy, but it totally keeps him occupied, so I feel compelled to encourage him.
Please note that I will once again be spending my coveted Time To Myself running errands I would not run if I didn't have children.
When I am finished with my alone time, I will probably come home and do a bit of cleaning and then head over to M's house for the Moyers show, if she doesn't already have guests.
Now I have to get C some "raisin branS" he will NOT have anything to do with this mere "raisin bran" crap...it must be called raisin branS!

"I close eyes and go sleep now." That's great! I love those kiddy things. And the "raisin brans" makes sense, because there's more than one of them! My older daughter started being offended by being called a kid as soon as she realized it also applied to baby goats. That's the one thing she's cooled off on since hitting puberty.
