The Insomniac...

Our little sugarplum has never slept very well for long periods of time, however up until now, she has managed to at least sleep from 10pm to about 6:30 or 7. Sometimes she misses the mark and wakes up about 5:30 or so, but the past several nights have been quite interesting, to say the least. 3 nights ago, I wake up with that Mommy instinct telling me something is amiss. I feel around for my pillows, and find that there aren't ANY in our bed. I nudge Eric and ask him, "what happened to our pillows?". At this point, I hear a faint noise in the corner of our bedroom, and lo and behold, Lili is making a pillow fort. Oh, I forgot to mention that it's 3:30 AM, and she's wide awake. I asked her what she was doing, and she explained that she couldn't sleep, so she was making a fort for her dolls. Well, she wasn't hurting anything, and I know how she gets when she's wide awake, so I roll over and tell her that she needs to stay in our room or go into hers when she is done...because I need MY sleep. =) Anyway, when my alarm goes off at 6:00 AM, she's snuggled between Eric and I, fast asleep. It was almost impossible to wake her up to get ready for school. The next night, she comes and wakes me up about 3:30 AM to tell me that she's going to go sleep with her big brother. So, at least that night, she was only awake for a few minutes, but her poor brother got kicked in the face (accidentally of course) because she decided to sleep Pippi Longstocking style, with her feet on the pillows, and her head at the foot of the bed with our dog Momo.



Centennial High School Titans have played 2 playoff games so far, and they play their first sectional game tonight in Little Elm. Jackson is having the time of his life with all of the team dinners, pep rallies and games. He is back on the ball in school, and got his braces put back on last week during Spring Break.



Needless to say, it's been a busy week and Momma is drinking lots of coffee....can't wait until the game tonight!!!
