Last Night Was Rough

Last night was a hard night for me. First I went to bed around 9 feeling really sick. So I went to bed hoping to feel better in the morning. About 1 a.m. the dog starts barking so I get up to let him in. Turns out we are having an thunderstorm, and my big, fluffy, Samoyed is afraid. So he decides to walk the house always returning next to our bed for me to pet. You might be thinking big deal the dog is walking the house. Well, we have all hard floors except in one room of the house. So we kept hearing click, click, click and he NEVER stops panting so on top of the clicking it was hu-hu-hu-hu LOUDLY. My poor husband isn't really fond of Gus anyway so I moved onto the couch hoping the dog would follow me. He didn't, he decided to smother the boys by jumping on their bed with them. They didn't appreciate it. But finally he settled down and I fell asleep on the couch with no blanket.

Suddenly I hear loud crying that doesn't subside like the usual crying that sometimes occurs with children in the night. So I get up and discover my little darling Brook has fallen out of bed and is afraid. I climb into bed and get her and Chloe back to sleep. This time I not only have no blanket but no pillow either. So, after I am sure that they are asleep well, I get up, weave my way through the mess, (of course they didn't put their toys away the night before like they are supposed to) and go back to my bed. Ahhhh, the peace, the quiet, the pillow and BLANKETS. It was wonderful for the hour I got to stay there. But then the awful alarm started to beep, man couldn't they make it more pleasant to listen to? Then I could have just slept right through it. Anyway now I am exhausted, and my neck hurts pretty bad, but at least my husband got good rest and my darlings felt loved (well okay even the dog got a bit pampered, the poor guy). I will make up my sleep tonight.
