Whoever said "You can sleep when you are dead" can eat a big, fat barrel full of duck butts because they were childless and probably on their 7th beer of the night at a fraternity party.
I love to sleep.
I slept through Christmas as a child.
I slept more than 24 hours once.
I have slept through earthquakes.
I think subconsciously one of the reasons I got a degree in journalism is because you get to sleep in especially if you work in the sports department.
So what has inspired this post devoted to sleep?
Because I'm missing it.
A lot.
It has been rough week
Little Miss Hayden is cutting her last two teeth and isn't happy about it all.
At least I hope that's it.
The TV was on the other day and she did catch a glimpse of Miley Cyrus suggestively riding a wrecking ball and maybe that's what is tormenting her at night.
Don't forget the number one rule of the sleep deprivation game: It's only fun if everyone gets involved.
So not to be outdone by his little sister, Kyle evidently heard a rumor that toy fairies are visiting our home this week and has been up at 5:30 in the morning to see if they stopped by.
Either that or he just knows that I'm really, really, really ridiculously good looking (
Zoolander reference) and the only way to make it fair to others is that I have giant, dark circles under my eyes.
Anyway I was feeling inspired to write a no sleep parody but while I was doing my research I ran across this:
An Ode to Sleep-Deprived Parents and Terrorizing Toddlers
O' you terror!
Get down from there!
Mummy's getting cranky...
Put my phone down.
Where are your pants?
What have you done with my purse?
Don't throw those blocks.
What is that smell?
Why do you look so happy?
What's in your mouth?
Who ripped that book?
Why won't you just stop moving?
He's on the chair!
Just standing there!
Wobbling like a drunk man.
Where is my mug?
What was that crash?
Who let you in the kitchen?
You've got a knife!
Put it down now!
Don't wave it near your sister!
Put my phone down.
Where are my apps?
Who dialed triple zero?
Why won't you sleep?
Is it your teeth?
I need another coffee!
My head's so sore!
Look at the floor!
Cleaning will take forever.
What's wrong with you?
What did I do?
Why do you do this to me?
I hope when you...
Have some kids too...
They drive you crazy!
Thanks for stopping by, and have a nice weekend. And here's a picture of my two angels who I hope let me sleep in tomorrow:
I will persevere. I will keep moving forward. I will be the stream.
