i want to sleep. i want to sleep in. please let me sleep for just a little longer. ella woke me up at one this morning. usually she sleeps through the night, and has been since she was two months, but she has had a tummy bug for the last couple of days and yesterday she received four painful shots. i was expecting to have to get up and give her more tylenol. my poor little one.
after she was neatly tucked back into her bed, i groggily made my way back over to my bedroom, crawled back inside my covers, and closed my eyes. sleep….
or not. “sleep!” i told myself over and over again. my head began to buzz. i knew it was going to be one of those nights, you know, the nights where you actually day dream. i couldn’t help it. i kept imagining all of the wonderful and exciting things i was going to be doing over the next week. oy. i hate imagining all of those wonderful and exciting things, because they keep you up at night!
the last time i looked at my clock, it was 4:30 am. i’d like to think i fell asleep shortly after that. who knows.
let’s hope that ella will take a good long nap this afternoon. keep your fingers crossed for me?
