Funny notes in why I never get enough sleep.

I went to bed far later than I should.  So, that's number one and a given.

Then, my son had a nightmare, two hours after that and woke me up by peering at me and whispering "Mom?" which meant I jumped.  I got him settled on the couch and went back to bed.

Half an hour after that, the cat knocked a container of LEGOS off the headboard, causing my SO to yell and jump out of bed, which, (since I had just gotten back to sleep) caused me to scream.  It took me a solid half hour to calm down, and another half hour after that to go back to sleep.

Two hours after that, the alarm went off.

One hour after that, I ended up holding a conversation about laundry with my SO.

An hour after that, the cat decided that if he headbutted me enough, I'd let him out.  It didn't work.

Half an hour after that, the phone rang.

Another hour after that, I became aware that my son was coming into the bedroom, repeatedly, to see if I was awake, yet.  He was very quiet, but I was still noticing.

By which time, my cat had decided that, since I hadn't let him out, yet, he'd start walking around on me.

I have now given up, but I am NOT sentient.  And I'm mean.  Excuse me, I've got to start laundry.
