More Sleep, Please

Another rough night for sleeping last night. You may remember my recent post from when Big was sick-- well, the last two nights have again been filled with frequent moaning. I'm not sure if it was teething or gas, but I do know that it got annoying. Add in Bud's monotone cries of, "Moh-ahm, I need my covers on!".... "Mom, I need to be covered up!", over and over last night.... ugh! I feel like moaning. 

I had another weird awake/asleep dream this time, too. In last night's dream, I was a realtor (probably because I watched back to back episodes of "House Hunters" before retiring), and I was showing two clients some possible homes for them to purchase. 

The clients sat side-by-side in the back seat--one client gripping the seat in front of him, head thrown back, moaning in lamentation of the poor choices I was offering, the other client sitting hunched, as though cold, with his hands pressed tightly between his legs to keep them warm. 

I tried to ignore the moaning, keeping my eyes on the road and speaking in my cheerful "realtor" voice as I extolled the virtues of the next home we were to be seeing. It was difficult, but I was managing... until I kept having to stop the car to re-cover the legs of the cold client with a blanket when he asked (since it kept slipping off and he seemed unwilling to release his hands from the tight grip of his thighs to do it himself). 

I think I learned two things from last night's dream. I don't want to be a realtor, and I definitely need more sleep.

I think you need more deep sleep, your reality is intruding far too much on what should be reality-free dreams. (This coming from me!) I hope you get better sleep tonight.

I'm so sorry... I'm trying to think of how you can keep that boy warmer at night! Does he come right out of a sleeping bag? Maybe you could roll him up like a burrito in a blanket and then put him under his sheets. Good luck; hope you can snag a nap today...

You DO need more sleep. That was a hilarious dream, though. You are so patient. I'm never that nice to my kids at night.
