Tag: morning

Early this morning, 4:30ish, I was summoned out of bed by my bladder (TMI, I know, but it is relevant!). I went back to bed and my brain started to turn on and think of all the things that were absolutely not relevant at 4:30am. After a while I got back up to get a drink, thinking that might help.

While up the second time, a sickly kiddo cam downstairs. So I helped sickly kiddo with medicines. The dog was excited that kiddo and I had gotten up to play! So, she went outside. Then I may have dozed off for about 10-15 minutes. Then my brain offered up more irrelevant morning thoughts; and, Bonus! My brain started a countdown of the things I could do if I got up immediately and started doing things. This expanded to the things I would be limited in doing if I didn’t get up for another 20 minutes, 40 minutes, etc.

I think I dozed off for maybe another 5 or 10 minutes, then wondered why I hadn’t heard another kiddo get up. He had said he was getting up early. I was his ride, since his car is getting repaired. I wondered if he didn’t set up his alarm. As I waited to hear noises indicating that he was awake, I checked social media, I played a block game, I tried to sleep a little more. And I laid in bed until the last possible minute. I got up, got myself ready, then yelled up the stairs for the kiddo. Realizing that he didn’t have an alarm, he then flee around like a hurricane trying to get ready quickly; while I decided I was definitely being a good mom letting him deal with being short on time. I wasn’t too mean to let him miss his appointment this morning. And I wasn’t too soft by waking him with plenty of time. I judged myself good with this middle of the road play!

Tonight I am thankful that I’m sure I’ll sleep good tonight! My first appointment tomorrow is later in the morning (so nothing to spend extra thoughts on – I’ll have plenty of time to prepare). And I’m pretty tired from the lack of sleep last night! I am excited for the good sleep I’m anticipating! I hope you all sleep good tonight!
