Sleepless in Cousinville

So last night, per usual, I woke up in the middle of ye olde night and couldn’t sleep.  Shocking, I know.  My sleep doctor told me when this happens I should get out of bed and not get back in until I’m really sleepy, so I shuffled wearily into my living room and turned on my laptop.

After chatting with my cousin Donovan, who was also awake at in the middle of the night, on Facebook for a few minutes at about 2:30-2:45,  I clicked over to TweetDeck and lo and behold, saw this tweet from my dear cousin Emily.

So apparently, if you are a first cousin of mine, you may have had trouble sleeping last night!  Emily must have wandered back to her bed, though, cause I got nuttin’ in response to the tweet I sent her:

{crickets}

About 3:30, Sophie started fussing.  I SWEAR to you that girl has “mommy is awake” radar.  So I soothed her and then got back into bed myself, where I had both night sweats and nightmares for a couple hours, until Bobby’s alarm started going off around 5:45.  Apparently I also told him *twice* that he was snoring and to roll over…when he was awake and therefore not snoring.  So all in all, it was a night of delirium, cousinly bonding, and a sad, sad, lack of ice cream (for me).

What were YOU doing in the middle of the night last night?  Wait.  Don’t answer that!

  1. Listening to James and Drew cough, Alan and Charles Laton snore, reading 1492 until I was too tired to process hearing.

  2. Oh, she got the tweet alright. But she didn’t want to share. LOL

    Me? I was sleeping like a rock. God has allowed some amazing/painful/crazy things in my life in the past year and allowing me to sleep through the night has been one of His blessings. 🙂

  3. That’s very odd…Ur UP was UP at 2:30 AM as well.
    I just cranked UP the sleep machine and fell back to sleep!

    UP

    (really, I was awake, but I saw this as a great opportunity to use the word UP!)

  4. I WILL answer that. I was being kicked out of my queen size bed by my tiny six year old who was taking up the whole darn thing!
