Balance

One would think that there would be a balance in a child's life between how many days/nights they are healthy and just fine to how many days/nights they are sick, teething or just don't feel like sleeping.  Reagan will do very well for a month or two and then - slam - no more sleep or napping.  Last night he was up with an ear infection until 12:30 and then up at 5:30 for the day.  This is half the sleep he is used to and much less sleep than I am used to.  One would think daddy would hear the screams and cries after 45 minutes at 12:00 am and wake up but his daddy could sleep through a freight train barreling through our house.  His tubes make it so most ear infections are not painful for him but they must have been plugged last night because he was one miserable little person.  

Fortunately I was very busy at work so I had no issues staying awake.  I had my friday Sandy's donut and Mountain Dew.  Then an hour later Ben surprised me with a Burger King breakfast sandwich and another Mountain Dew.  I spent about 4 hours working through a real estate transaction and completing the settlement statement and HUD - exciting?  Actually it was very interesting.  I love my numbers.  

I have a little wall hanging that says "Babies are God's way of saying you were getting way to much sleep."  How true! 

So here's hoping for a better night and a quick cat nap.
