WOW! The n00blet is asleep! While I am awake!

*runs about the house cheering quietly*

 W00T! W00t!

Yes, friends and neighbors, we are sliding into the typical scenario wherein we parents are going on 4-5 hours a night because SOMEBODY (a very *cute* somebody) doesn't want to go to sleep before 3am.

Well we tried last night. Oh yes I did. But doncha know n00blet's have their ways of keeping you up. Ours is not the type to go wantonly screaming or crying, no, she's more *dignified* apparently. She lays in the bed next to me and pretends that nursing is a grand idea but once engaged, she writhes, thrashes, grunts, groans, flails arms and generally makes it impossible for us to sleep. So I rise up and look down at yon heir to find she is grinning up at me, pleased as punch to have effected my getting up. After several rounds of "kick-the-mommy" and "twist-the-nipple" I come to my senses and get out of bed, bringing her with me. She, of course, is doubly pleased about this event. We played quietly on the floor for another hour. Around 4am, yes, we slept. Finally. So I wake up at 1pm and thank GAHD I do not have a job which requires me to rise up at a regular time.

This is me thumbing my nose at all you workers. Except you can all take solace in the fact that you can go to bed any damned time you want and no one is going to ruin that. I think I left my brains back in the bed. But I damn sure am not tiptoeing into the bedroom in order to retrieve anything. Lil Miss sleeps now and hopefully I will be able to do SOMETHING sans baby-on-the-arm before she wakes. Maybe. Or maybe i'll just sip more coffee and revel in a quiet house. HAHAHAHA! Oh dang, the other kids will be coming home from school soon. Damn.
