Last night was a bit sleepless, at least in the middle of the night. Right around 1:15 a.m. our daughters woke us up. At first, I thought they were in my dream, “Mommy? Mommy?” Then, they moved on to “The fire alarm is going off!” Wait, what? We were both up in a hurry! I quickly asked if it was malfunctioning since I didn’t hear it going off. They said they thought so; it would not stop beeping. Why, oh why do those things always malfunction in the wee hours of the morning? #FirstWorldProblems
Anyway, my husband went upstairs took the battery out and came back down. He got back into bed just as I was thinking aloud that I never did change the battery in that one OR the one in our son’s room. Just the main level one. Uh oh. My husband predicted our son would probably be in our room in 10 minutes. Luckily, he wasn’t. But…
Twenty minutes later, just after I fell back asleep, we heard our son on the monitor. He sounded like he was choking! Again, my husband was out of bed in a flash to go check on him. Turns out he was “choking on his cough,” or so he told his father. My husband tucked him back into bed and came back to bed. “We should just stay up tonight,” he proclaimed at that point, to which I responded, “It feels like we have a newborn again. Just as you fall asleep…nope! Wake up!” Needless to say 5 a.m. was a harsh reality this morning and it hurt to wake up!
It’s Tuesday, a full day before the usual #WineWednesday festivities. But, it’s #WineWednesday eve and I think it’s Wednesday in some part of the world by the time we settle onto the couch later this evening in front of TV. So, wine it is. I’m not sure what we’ll have but it needs to be good. I’m thinking the Sauvignon Blanc that’s in the wine fridge will do the trick. Easy drinking, yummy white.
This up all night stuff is cramping my 5 a.m. fitness style. A nice glass of vino will help me settle in for a long winter’s nap – hopefully, without interruption.
