I slept so good last night. The girls are on break from school
for almost two weeks; actually the whole country is on break for the Eid. Most places
will be closed for about 4 days and other places for about 12days. So, at about 9pm last night, I told the girls
that since they had been on such great behavior and they don’t have school for
awhile they could stay up as long as they wanted.. They were so pumped, running
around the house yelling and dancing “I never have to sleep again, I can stay
up and eat forever!” one hour later they were both passed out on the couch. At
first I was getting ready to pick them up and put them in the bed, and then I thought,
this is my golden opportunity to sleep alone. Now I was pumped, quietly jumping
up and down saying “I get to sleep alone!!yeah!”. I put my pajama’s on pulled
the comforter back slowly and took those crunchy African sheets for a ride
around the block….lol I woke up this morning
feeling completely refreshed and ready for the day. The girls on the other were
so upset they feel asleep. Now they are plotting to be on watch tonight, if one
falls asleep the other will wake them up. Yeah we’ll see how long that works….lol..
Now this post is strictly for mommies with little children. Every mommy knows the feeling of trying to get
a good nights sleep and the little person next to you, is steady beating the
hell out of you all night. You wake up hurting because you got kicked in your
spleen like 5 times, or spitting a little toe out of your mouth all night. But the
two worst things of all are being in a deep sleep and wake up chocking cause
you just got karate chopped in throat and while you’re trying to catch your
breath you realize that you are soaking wet; yep cause that little person just
peeped in the bed, the day after your washing machine stopped working…lol… I know
this feeling all to well. Now I don’t know if people with partners experience this;
because when I was with the girl’s father, he would get up immediately and take
them back to their room. One day I asked him, why won’t you let the girls sleep
with us? He said cause he did not want to miss out on the Morning Nookie!! ….lol…
So I say to all the mommy’s, we will have our beds back one day!! Until then,
we do yoga…..
