Sleep Deprivation

They smell my exhaustion and feed on me more. I try running to my bed but my clumsy ass falls down in the hallway like a white girl in a horror flick. When I come to they are over me yelling, "MOMMY WAKE UP!"

I am a night person, unfortunately, my kids are light sleepers. I am bossy, unfortunately, my daughter, picked up that trait too. She refuses to let me rest. She sounds like my mom when I was in grade school. Here are the best lines:

"Mommy, get up!"

"Mommy get dressed!"

"No Mommy UP!"

It's like she catches me sleeping as if I was a student in her class, Figuring Out Toddlers 101. Right now I would give myself a grade of B-. I can chuckle at her outbursts and hissy fits, but muddling through her candid observations. She understands when she gets tired and of course Mommy is suppose to do something about it.

There is a limited amount of time to reconcile this before I go back to work.
