What is this thing that evades me called sleep? Let me try for just a moment to explain my strange sleeping habits. See I sleep like a cat,.. yes a feline. I take small naps through the passage of 4 hours and never really sleep at any given time for a long length of time. Night-time is playtime for me. I love the night. I am wide awake most nights and therefore most miserable and bitchy most mornings. Word. Last night I was exhusted. By 9 p.m I was truly ready to retire for the rest of the night. However, I have responsibilities to see to it that my children do not wreck the house, the house is locked up etc and so forth. I watched CSI Miami for the first time. So after that and a nice phone conversation with my boyfriend, Byron. I fell deeply asleep. At 2:00am I get this frantic phone call from Amy. "MOM MOM... GET UP! THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH DANA". I jump out of bed, my heart racing in my throat, from deep slumber into full panic mode, my mind racing with gawd awful scenarios. Ever wanna reach their a telecommunication device and choke your first born? No? How about mine? It turns out the baby is just spitting up. After I catch my breath, and try to stop trembling, with GREAT patience I tell Amy to just keep suctioning it out of her nose and mouth, and to NOT lay her in the bassinet, but rather let her rest in the cuddle seat, so she is in a semi upright position. After we hung up and I laid back down, I could feel a new grey hair springing forward. Sheesh. Tink is up to 5lbs now. This morning my Mother informed me that Tink got her first shot yesterday. Now why Amy forgot to mention this is beyond me. She also added caro syrup to her bottle to help her constipation. Yesterday I did have Heathers saturday work detail at school changed to an in-school suspension. I do not believe in this saturday work detail bullshit. It pisses me off when the school thinks they have a right to decide what my child will be doing on my time with them. They get the kids for the large portion of the week. And this school is well aware, and now refreshed on my feelings about this. Basically, I didn't see them in the delivery room, nor do I recieve any type of compensation towards child support for the child, therefore, do not assume to have the priveledge of assigning their time off school hours at any point without first consulting me. I am not just the accountant who pays their bills, I am their Mother, lets not forget this fact...ever. Its just like here schools can use corporal punishment if they deem it warranted. Mind you it is not nearly as often as it used to be, but even once in my opinion is too much. All my children began school with letters put in thier record, explaining nicely that anyone who feels fit to lay one hand on my children will face the same imminent danger themselves. Although I do believe in spanking children if it is needed, I do not believe it is the schools responsibility or privledge. Grant was not released on Friday, as Jen and her kids thought he would be. Seems the fine state of Florida enjoys his company so much that they have decided to keep him entertained in a cell til at least next June. I still have not spoken to Jennifer, not that it is breaking my heart any. Lisa however, still talks to her regularly because Demitris is her best friend. (Demitris is Jennifers nephew that lives with her). |
