Please, make it stop.
Last night at 2AM Ali came walking in my room to get in bed with me. I picked her up, tucked her in and headed to the bathroom for some water. When I came back to the bed she was whimpering something. My brain was still asleep, even if my body wasn't and it took me a minute to realize she was saying "Mommy, I peed, I'm all wet." Whaaaat? How is that possible? She is STILL in diapers, but they never leak. Of course, a diaper only works if YOU PUT IT ON YOUR CHILD. My mind was so befuddled last night as I got Ali dressed after her bath, that I didn't put a diaper on her! So, I put new jammies and a diaper on Ali. Then I did the old throw the towel down on the bed. I tried to fall back asleep but my mind kept trying to figure out how I forgot to put on the diaper. It never did. Just as I was falling asleep, Isabella let out a blood curling scream. She, too was sleeping in my room, so it was very loud. I though my heart had stopped. I began to wonder how long one maintains consciousness after the heart stops and decided if I had time to contemplate that my little ticker was probably still beating.
Just remember, sleep deprivation is used as a form of torture! And, I am feeling very abused this morning. I feel like yesterday never ended, it just keeps going.
Isabella is still feeling crummy, but her fever is down to only 101 this fine morning. Looks like she has strep throat...Lord, PLEASE don't let it make the rounds here!!
