The last few nights have been rough. Sunday night I couldn't get to sleep. My neck was killing me, so I was wide awake until very late. Just when I was about to fall asleep (at about 1:30 am), Big A woke up screaming that the cat bit her. I'm still not sure if she was just dreaming or really was bitten. Her yelling woke up Little A, and both of them ended up in my bed. This would have been fine, except that Big A could not fall back to sleep. She kept talking, complaining, and tossing and turning for hours. Little A was sleeping beside me and kept kicking me in her sleep. Every now and then, Little A woke up a bit and said "move Mama!"
The last time I looked at the clock, it was a little after 4 am and I still hadn't gotten to sleep! So of course, I didn't wake up until 7:45 the next morning. Big A is supposed to be at school at 8:00 am, so I called to say we would be late. I didn't get them there until about 8:30-- it was rush, rush, and I felt like a truck had hit me. I do not do well anymore with no sleep! Fortunately, the only appointment I had scheduled for Monday had been cancelled, so I was able to stay home and rest. I did get some ordering and paperwork done, but the day was pretty much a waste. I did not get as much as I needed to do accomplished.
When I went to pick the girls up from school, I learned that Little A had bitten a classmate in the face! It was a pretty bad bite-- left a large bruise and teeth marks! She hasn't been biting lately, so I'm hoping it was just because she was tired. What to do with that girl! She is such a roughneck! I had a talk with her about it, but she just stared at me and had a little devious smile. That girl has got a real mean streak sometimes!
Big A had a game Monday evening. She played pretty well. One of her hits got 2 runners to home. They won, so they were all pretty excited.
During the game, Little A ran around the ballpark like a cyclone. After all this activity, you would think that the girls would sleep soundly all night, but no... Big A got in my bed about 2:00am, again complaining about the cats. At least she fell asleep this time. Then Little A came to my bed at about 4:15 am and was wide awake!!! She tossed and turned and talked until it was time for me to get up--then she fell asleep! So I am again dead tired. Today I am working at a hospital all day, and I have an house call after work, so it is going to be a LONG day. Hopefully, Little A will not attack her classmates today!
