Insomniac

Earlier this week, E had a terrible night.  It took at least ninety minutes and a thousand tuck-ins before she finally fell asleep.  But the trouble didn't stop there.  She decided to start her day at 2:30 AM for no apparent reason except to frustrate me.  We tried everything (except Benadryl -- next time she's getting Benadryl, even if it is 4:00 AM) to ensure our little lady got her beauty rest, but nothing worked.  Finally, Steve gave up on our insomniac and just went to work at 5:00, so I tried her in our bed again.  An hour later my alarm blared, signaling that it was time to rise and shine.

E sat straight up in bed and with a smile on her face and said, "I'm awake!"

I replied with an uncheerful, "Ya, I know."

She responded in a matter-of-fact tone, "It's gonna be a long day."
