Up at night, stage 2
So the phone rings at 12:15 AM; it's the sherrif's department,
wondering why one of our cars seems to be left overnight at a boat launch. I explain that my 20 yo is supposed to be spending the weekend jet skiing and camping with friends -- but the car isn't in the campground, it's at the boat launch. Now I'm wide awake! Accidents do happen! However, the nice folks at the sherrif's office tracked her down, woke her up to confirm it was her, and called me back. She's fine -- she just abandoned the car in a weird spot. She's sound asleep in a tent. I may be awake for hours. sigh How old do you suppose your kids are before you can stop getting up at night? meh -- Children won't care how much you know until they know how much you care |

Haven't you noticed that the elderly usually only sleep in naps at night? I think that is probably due to a lifetime of things like what you describe.

But I still remember the call we got about 2 am from ds when his firstborn went into the hospital with 90% involved in leukemia. grandma Rosalie |
