Whimsy 365: Day 71

Hoping you’re enjoying your Saturday. I am in desperate need of a nap! My Mom was very sick yesterday so I went and picked up her boxer puppy (Emma-6mo old) and brought her to my house so Mom could get some rest. We have a pup (Athena-16mo old) as well and they played and played and ran and ran until midnight. Kevin, myself and the two pups fell asleep on the couch.

At 1am, I went to bed in Kyle’s old room. The reason for this was because Emma isn’t quite housebroken at my house.  She’s good for Mom but not me. I was afraid she’d wake up in the middle of the night and potty in the house so I thought it best to have her and Athena sleep with me so I’d know if Emma got up.

I woke up several times in the short four hour night because they both snore!! Jeepers! Then at 5am, I woke up pressed against the wall with Athena smashed against my side and her head on my pillow. Her legs were over Emma and she was on her back sleeping just below Athena. Unfortunately, once I woke, I realized I’d never fall back asleep because I was the one that had to potty. I just knew if I got out of bed they would too. Sure enough, they both got out of bed with me.

When they came back in from pottying, Athena was ready to go back to bed but Emma wouldn’t have it. I tried and tried to get Emma to go back to bed but no luck. So I took them downstairs to let them run and play so they wouldn’t wake Kevin. The good news is it gave me a chance to fill out and address my Christmas cards (which I haven’t done in about 4 years).

Well, it’s almost 4pm now and I haven’t had a nap yet. I don’t think it’s in the cards for me! Emma is back home. Mom is feeling much better today. I’ll sleep good tonight, that’s for sure!

Here’s to getting a good nights rest,

Teresa
