should make the rest of the day interesting

Don't ask me how this happened because I've never really been a girl who needs a lot of sleep. I have been trying an experiment in which I put Maya to bed about 30 minutes earlier than usual. She's been getting pretty cranky in those after dinner hours and her sleep cues are very easy to read. The second her hand goes for her hair I know, she's getting sleepy. So I take her up tonight and settle her in with her blanky. She was bit vocal in her displeasure so I laid down in our bed and read while I waited to see if she was actually going to go to sleep. Next thing I know it's an hour later and Mike's at our bedroom door asking if I meant to fall asleep or not.

Ummmm no I did not mean to go to sleep at 7:30 on a Friday night of a long weekend. I mean it sounds pretty lame right. Of course the argument could be made that it was only an hour. A little power nap to refresh me except I didn't actually get up. I thought I would lay there while Mike put Abby to bed because 8 times out of 10 I'm the one putting the kids to bed. Not that I'm complaining in any way, it's just I knew if I got up Abby would likely use me as a stall tactic. Can you guess what happened next? Well, to be honest I'm not really sure because I fell right back to sleep. and now I'm up in the middle of the night unable to sleep anymore. Right now anyway. I'm sure I'll be wanting a nap right about the time the girls will be waking up.

Funny aside, Mike just came down to use the bathroom and clearly wasn't expecting to see me standing in the kitchen. There was some swearing and threats of an imminent heart attack because according to Michael I was upstairs in bed. Which means Abby has likely crawled in beside him. I'm still chuckling over it even if he didn't find it so funny.
