the way they used to do things…
i’ve seen examples, back in the day, of parents letting their children drink a little gin before bed time, or putting whiskey on a theething child’s gums. i’ve also read of people being strapped into their beds as children, not harshly, just to prevent them from getting up or sleepwalking.
after the 45 minutes of sleep i got last night, these all sound like pretty good ideas. at least hubbin was sharing in my misery. we’ve never been a couple of “it’s your turn”, since i am a stay-at-home mom, it’s always my turn. but last night he did his share and after the kids were up he let me crash for an hour. i woke up groggy in a huge pile of drool - sleep of the junkie i call it.
thankfully, both kids are happy today, not fussy and playing well with each other. i on the other hand am seriously considering putting them on the doorstep for the gypsy’s to take away. just for a little more shut-eye.
