Just me....well us!

Wakey wakey

Posted in Home

I feel like all I do is sleep. I laid down with the kids and I was soound asleep before they were. I wake up to my baby girl saying wakey wakey to me. Of course automatically my guilt kicks in that I can not keep my eyes open long enough to watch at least one cartoon with them on any given day. Nanny wants them to be quite because Mommy needs her sleep, her body is trying to recover, but it feels more like mommy's body is trying to fall apart rather than recover. It is tired all the time and wakes up just as tired and with a few more aches and pains than it went to sleep with. How in the world is that recovering? The lack of the pain meds cause it be that much worse when I wake up and the lack of time makes the sleep that much more important than what it would normally be. Everything fits in tune with each other to cause me the extra grief called a nap. I wish I could never sleep, eat or sit still. I think the first two I have almost got down but the last is a little harder to accomplish. Hmmmm..... any ideas?

waking up with kids
reminds me of the time when my second son (now a strapping lad of 15) was about 2 years old. It was quite a task to make him sleep at night. The procedure followed was to rock him asleep by laying him down on my outstretched legs with his head resting on a pillow.
Once he nods off comes the delicate operation of shifting him to the bed. This called for a great degree of finesse as any inadvertant motion was likely to wake up the little tyke and then the entire operation has to be repeated.
Just as one slips of to sleep after laying him down on the bed and stroking his rump till the arms ached, a little voice pipes up "kottu" (Malayalam for stroking).
Net result is that neither me nor my wife had a good night's sleep for quite some years.
But will the kids remember any of this once they grow up and fly the coop? Or for that matter, how many of us remember all that our parents suffered while bringing us up.
