*Yawn*!!!

I know this is a sad drawing but this is how we sleep every night now that Ben in gone. I, as a mother and head of this household, should put my foot down (I forgot to draw feet!!!) and tell my kids, at least the oldest, to sleep in their own room!! We tried with the youngest but his response was "Cookie?" My man of few words, I love him, but like Ashton, I think he has developed his own language. And Ashton, I would rather argue with anyone than try to deal with her sometimes. And yes I love her too! But she is the one that goes to bed first. With good intentions, she gets on her own side at first but slowly gravitates to the center. Then sometimes Nicholas goes to sleep next, which is better because when he is still awake and then put to bed, he usually slaps her around a few times, kicks her in the head and pulls her hair before I can settle him down. Thank goodness she is a heavy sleeper! Then it's my turn. I crawl into my little corner and try to get comfortable but that's when little Nicholas scootches up next to me. Aww, how sweet you say? He's an inferno!!!! And last night my lovely daughter said he smelt like rotten eggs because he was sweating so much! For the record, HE DID NOT! So I pushed him over numerous time and held on to the edge for dear life. I will wake up many times during the night and 1. make sure I am not smothering him 2. to pull the covers back on me 3. to get his little head out of my armpit! 4. to tell Ashton to roll over and stop breathing on me. 5. for her to scoot over. 5 to get her arm off his head 6. because I have to pee 7. because my head some how ended up on the table next to my bed.....I miss my husband for so many reasons, but needless to say the is one of the main ones!
