The kids are home from college for winter break… 3 weeks of late, late nights and sleeping-in until afternoon. Not sure why their biological clocks work like that of a bat. Thanksgiving break was a little “taste” (pun intended) of what was coming…late night arrivals home, late night television, 3-course snacks at 2 am. So it is restless sleep for the next 3 weeks….kind of like when the kids were infants…..
Check this story out…real story.
My Sista-in-law had her fourth child and it was the first time she left the house to attend a grown-up party. It was a get-together with women and she looked forward to getting out in the real world with adults, speaking adult language, and laughing at adult jokes. She was exhausted, but it sure beat the pants off kid-duty. The night was going beautifully and she decided to have some tiramisu. She dished it onto her plate, grabbed a fork and then began a conversation with one woman. As the woman was talking, Sista-in-law began to eat her dessert. She put the fork in the tiramisu, and then lifted her fork toward the woman’s mouth to feed her. The woman looked scared and so did Sista-in-law once she realized what she tried to do!
I’ve heard of dead tired and stupid tired, but this is off-the-charts-totally-lost-your-mind tired. So if you see me during the winter break and I have blood shut eyes….you know my infant turned college kids are home. Don’t get too close…I just might try to feed you.
