Except for our older kid, who, on schedule, was up at 6:30. And then he started whining in the way he always has, “eeeee, hee-eeeeeeeeee.” And I knew it was time to get up. We’ve decided to cut him off of the computer for a bit again, so he has limited technology at his disposal. The wii decided inexplicably to stop working the netflix correctly , so he’s either got regular tv, dvd, or wii games to work with. This lack of choice obviously gets his tiger blood boiling.
My husband has been having some issues with insomnia, so he’s finally asleep now…I think. He’s been waking up in the middle of the night, and going downstairs to watch tv, rather than lie still and let his mind race. Well, fine, but then I keep waking up wondering where he is. It’s not doing much for our evenings, either, I’ll tell you that.
And oddly, the younger kid is still just woke up. I was about to say he was sleeping, but then he came exploding out his door in the usual manner. But this is a bit late for him, perhaps because his father decided that a bedtime lullaby would come best in the form of Mumford & Sons and the Avett Brothers, and they had their own long-distance ceilidh. Or is it digital? Either way, I guess I need to find tickets to either group, or to something similar for the summer months.
And what our day will bring, I can’t predict yet. Sometimes we’re all stir-crazy and drive each other nuts. Sometimes we’re productive and…no wait, that’s just the adults…the kids still are driving each other nuts. My husband said last night that he wanted to take them sledding, but we’ll see how that goes with him having been awake from 12:30am until 4:30…. I have my car loaded up with stuff for the consignment shop, stuff I have been meaning to take there for about a year. Fingers crossed that we all get through the day with no meltdowns…and that the kids are in a good mood too!
