Four Little Monkeys Jumpin' on the Bed

I just have a few minutes before we get ready for church, but I had to share...

Last night, I was in the best place in the world. Joshua was sleeping in his own crib (and that is a VERY big deal) and Tyler had asked Daddy to camp out in his room and watch movies, which meant I had our bed all to myself! I just new I was going to have a good night sleep. But first, I read a magazine, with the light on, while watching TV at the same time (for those of you that know Shawn, that's a big no no. He says it keeps him up all night.)

It was great. And then...

Shawn came back, saying Ty's bed was uncomfortable, Joshua woke up screaming so loud that it truly scared me to pieces and then Tyler wandered in saying he was cold. Each of them falling asleep in the bed I had all to myself just a few hours earlier. Tossing, turning, hitting me, kicking me and anything else you can do while you are sleeping.

Needless to say, I am exhausted.

You can reflect on that...when your up the rest of the day exhausted.

My husband is the same way about watching TV in bed. I LOVE watching it at night though so we compromised and he bought me some head phones. They aren't the most comfortable things but it works for us. Get some rest!
