Oh Sleep, Where Have You Gone...

So, I know this is an odd topic for a blog, but it seriously felt like I was in a sitcom last night while "sleeping." For some reason, I just couldn't fall asleep last nite. I tossed and turned until sometime around midnight. Around 1:30 a.m., I hear Mr. Drew through the monitor. I went in his room and popped in his Dodo (what Mr. Tater Tot named pacifier's a few years back) and rubbed his head a bit. As soon as I'd walk away, he'd start to cry again. We tried this about 5 times, until I finally decided to pick up and put him in bed with me.

Then Drew decided it was party time... He starts squirming around and laughing, singing, and climbing all over Grant (who wants to know why I'M kicking him, lol)! This didn't keep Grant awake long though (nothing really does). Around 3 am., I hear a door open and close, and then my bedroom door open and close. Now, I should tell you all that Parker has a new addiction to this online penguin game. He wakes up when he hears Grant getting up for work so that he can play it (we're talking like 5:30 am people)! He came in to check to see if G was up and getting ready for work. He wasn't, so Parker went and got back in bed, but this commotion made Drewbie Do pop back up like a rocket.

Shortly after this, G starts snoring. Then Franklin (who is sleeping on his bed in the corner of our room) chimes in on the snoring. Drew thinks that G is playing a game they play often (where the repeat each other's noises) so he starts to mimic the noises! Yes, all 3 were making God awful noises! The snoring finally stopped, and Drewbie started to settle down. As he was drifting off to sleep, he discovered that the non-skid on the bottom of his footie pj's makes an AWESOME noise when rubbed against my comforter, so he made a rhythm of noises that he hummed along to until about 4:30 am when he finally fell back asleep.

At that point I finally was able to move him back in his crib. I got back in bed and my eye's were wide open! I got online and checked my email (the KILLER red shoes I ordered on ebay for my 30th bday have been shipped), tweeted about being awake, then turned on the tv. Let me tell ya, the news casters that are on at that time in the morning are INTERESTING, to say the least.

At 5 am G's alarm went off and he rolled over, looked at me and said, "you're still awake!? so, u wanna..." I'm not going to finish that sentence, don't think I have to, but I'm sure you all know what my response would be.

Not sure what time I FINALLY drifted back to sleep, but I do know Parker was awake and playing the penguin game and G was dressed for work. Tater Tot came in at some point and woke me up, and I asked for 5 more mins, which turned into a bit more, b/c when Parker finally came in, it was time for him to leave for school, and he was in his pj's and not fed.

To sum things up, Parker was late for school today....
