Boomtown Rats (pure 80′s New Wave band) “Up All Night” is playing through my head.
‘Cause I was UP ALL NIGHT.
Well not all night… that would be doable if you knew it was going to happen.
Seems Baby Lug, the 3 y.o. was just not up for sleepin’. First it was late to bed (10pm) with endless drinks of water, bathroom breaks and “Mama I neeeeeeeeed youuuuuuuuu!” Finally some sleep. But no work done for the Mama. No cardio. No emails. No posts or proposals.
Then the night terrors. Monsters. Lurking. Hugs all around. Lights dimmed up (if that makes sense.)
AM sleep interrupted by his half-asleep moaning- he’s kicked the covers off and and is chilly. But asleep.
More AM fun- he’s up and now snuggles in my bed. Orders me to hold him. By now, if he ordered me to do the cha-cha, jiggling like Charo (another 80′s Love Boat icon) I would have readily complied.
Then he starts to snore.
Up with the twins. School day. Baby Lug has to be woken. Now he’s just plain MEAN, in a fun ornery-kind of way.
Bound to show up at 9:30AM for training with super fab trainer Laura from Hingham’s Bodyscapes Fitness today, but feeling like something the cat drug in and peed on. My sidekick is still playing by Union rules in a bankrupt industry.
Ah. Good times.
I just wanted to let you know I’ll be posting a wee bit later…
