It’s 5 am on 12/12/12. The wind is
blowing ferociously. It feels like a long time ago when my 12-year-old woke up,
walked upstairs, and fell asleep again, this time on the wrong bed, and on the
wrong side of the bed (mine), while I was already there. It was all I could do
not to fall off! Well, it has been almost four hours since.

Counted sheep, had water, prayed. Nothing. The funny noises Chris was making,
combined with his father’s snoring, formed a somber duet louder than the wind
outside, keeping the lights on in my brain. I tiptoed out of the bedroom…

Forgot the
scriptures. Forgot the Kindle. Hmmm… Not going back in there. Blog hopping wasn’t really a good choice… but I did not have your phone number. Three and a half hours later I
crawl back into the cot-size space left for me on the king-size bed, nudge
Sapphire the cat away, and pretend I can snooze. My feet are freezing, so I
place them under the cat’s body, then next to her body, then almost over her
body. Nothing. That took an entire twenty minutes of effort, and I am back in
the family room.

It is cold… I
didn’t want to make noise in the bedroom and open a drawer to fish out a pair
of socks. Peppermint tea was supposed to do the trick, but I have to resort to
a quilt and the fire place for warmth. Sapphire is now laying on the quilt draped
over my legs – is it payback time?

Today is 12/12/12, and I was bumped out of bed by a 12-year old. This is going to
be a looooooooooooonnnng, Coke-filled, sleepy kind of day…

Wow, I've been up at that time before and the house is cold. I did it once and my husband said, "what are you doing up at this time"? I'm glad you went back to bed. We had some snow this morning but it's not going to stick. Maybe this week end. Enjoy your day.
