back at it…
at 6:15 in the morning my little wobbling bobbling alarm clock did it's thing and woke me up. For it's trouble, I smacked it. It gave me a measly 4 minutes of slumber.Irritated beyond belief I smacked my clock again and rolled over settled my feet on the floor and stumbled over to the window. … Continue reading back at it…
sweet dreams are made of these…
I don't have it in me today to talk about things I want to talk about.The things I should be talking about, thinking about.I put K to bed 3 hours ago and still she's wakeful.Crying and wakeful...Refusing to sleep.and there is not a thing I can do.

When night swoops down on this house we are not ready. It's never unexpected, nor is it unwelcome... we just aren't ready.In my home we each have our own way of delaying night's embrace. Our own ways of saying No, I won't. No, I can't. Really, I couldn't possibly.The method doesn't really matter though, what … Continue reading when night…

It was almost precisely 3 AM... give or take an hour for daylight savings time.My birthday had just reached its official end... though there was certainly more celebration to come.I wasn't celebrating though... no no no. I was laying in my big huge bed embracing slumber. Sleeping soundly. Dreaming the blissful dreams induced by 2 … Continue reading 3 AM… a bedtime story
frustration…
I try not to be frustrated here (unless those frustrations include melodrama or hilarity) but today that is all there is.This frustrated shell of a mom whose kid is not adjusting terribly well. Who begs not to go to school. Who is angry that she must be woken at such an early hour (who wouldn't … Continue reading frustration…
