Who is this Murphy guy anyway? Whats with his "law". Whoever he is I'm guessing he NEVER had any kind of luck cept bad.. poor guy! His law seems to fit today with the soaring temps and dead batteries on the suv and the motor at work i cant win. I mean really who gets two dead batteries in less than 24 hours? ME! Anywho, I'm gonna be soo busy for the next week just the thought of it makes my head spin. I am really bad about making a list of things that need to be done but if it keeps going at this rate.. the same rate that kids drink the milk at home I'm gonna lose my mind. I better make a list.
Quick story that is going to get lost in the memory banks with everything else that is going on.
June 19 10pm and a restless infant/toddler keeps kicking and squirming around in the bed. How exactly we ended up being co sleepers is beyond me. I never let my other boys sleep with me but peanut, oh sweet peanut i guess being my last baby and knowing he is the last idk i guess i caved. Maybe not, maybe it really did just happen. Having to get up all hours of the night with a infant not my cup of tea now that I'm in my 30's and when the others where little i was a sahm. This time I'm older, have less energy and work full time - maybe its just the other five/six kids have me worn down, either way its SOO much easier to just bring him to bed where the three of us count sheep together.
So I'm laying there being kicked and annoyed for the first time in his 16 months of life thinking THAT'S IT! I'm so done with this co sleeping thing... this baby NEEDS to sleep in his own bed!! That was it.. the moment.. that was the very moment my sleepy blued eyed monster who is every bit his fathers spitting image rested his head on my shoulder. He started patting my back and you could just feel the love. Crazy kid! Dh could hardly see in the dark room and asked "is he hugging you?" my response "yes and he is patting my back soo sweetly". Than with no warning - kind of like when the kids do chores without us having to ask them peanut sits up and out of the blue with sound effect and everything lays a kiss right on my forehead. AWWWWW say it with me now. How sweet is that? Dh hears this and asks "did he just kiss you" me "yup right on the forehead" tears almost welling up in my eyes (remember I'm tired and a bit off kilter at this point). So dh asks for a kiss too and peanut crawls over to daddy and shows him some love too. Is it possible he was reading my mind? Did he at his young and tender age somehow know mom was at her wits end? After showing dad some love he proceeds to climb back over and lay kisses all up my arm, neck and face! What a stud.. really! I was touched in every sense of the word.
You go on with your bad little self baby with a sixth sense like that he is someday gonna make some little lady a very happy woman! I AM WEAK and fell right into his little trap! He is STILL in our bed with us cept on that off night that we manage to have just a nickels worth of energy left in us to actually act like husband and wife. On those nights AFTER he falls asleep we tuck his spoiled has us wrapped around his fingers cute little self in his crib. On those nights when we need some husband and wife time.. if he happens to wake up all pissed off because he has been evicted from the bed we cave.. back in our bed he goes! lol I don't know for how much longer but for now.. he is our baby! Our last baby! And somehow, someway, someone is out there looking out for us and has blessed us with the understanding that it wont last forever so enjoy it for everything its worth!
Sleep, sex, money its all overated the love of your own little demon spawn THAT is what life is all about!
