Last night was one for the books. I just had to document it, while I remembered the specifics.
I fell asleep around 10, but was woken when Jason shot up out of the bed at 11:00. He said he heard a car door open/shut several times. He got his shoes on and went downstairs (or so I thought). I was then wide awake and listening. I heard it too and then BAM - Jason appeared in the doorway. He scared at least a year off of my life! Apparently, he never went all the way down the stairs, but decided to listen from the hall. He didn't hear the noise again, and decided to go back to bed.
Well, when I told him I had heard the noise, he went down stairs and outside. A few minutes later, I heard something. BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM! Oh NO! WHAT was that???!?!?!? Should I call 911? What is the stupid code to the gun safety-thingy?!?!? Someone comes walking quickly up the stairs and I am sitting straight up in the bed waiting to get WHACKED! It was Jason who was coming back to report that the Guard was just playing war games on Pelham Range. GEEEEZ! Its been forever since I've heard such noise from the Range. They should put that stuff on the news or something.
So we go back to bed. Then, of course, Graham starts crying. Graham is transfered to his favorite spot. Smack in between us. He shifts to his favorite position, with his head touching one of us and his feet on the other. He falls right back asleep.
Trying to go to sleep again. Its now 11:45. Whocka WHocka WHOCka WHOCKA....getting Progressively LOUDER! Its a chopper and I'm pretty sure its heading directly into our house. HANG ON EVERYBODY! Then it flies over. (Me {whispering}: "Jason, did you hear that?" Jason {talking}: "The helicopter flying RIGHT over our HOUSE? Yes, I heard it.") Ha Ha. Graham never budged. Ok...lets try to get some sleep.
I think it took an hour for me to doze off. I was having a wild dream and was woken by someone coughing. Sleepily thinking...that IS coughing RIGHT? SURELY someone is NOT throwing up. More coughing...I think? Then silence. However, I knew I couldn't go back to sleep until I checked. I went to the boys' room and turned on the light. Hunter sat up. (Me: "Did you throw up?" Hunter: "Yeah, I couldn't get to the bathroom because it was dark." Me: "Do you feel like you are sick again?" {He just had a stomach virus 5 days ago} Hunter: "No, I think I was just hungry.") OKIE DOKIE! So we change his clothes, get new sheets, blankets, a pillow and a BUCKET. He picks a cartoon to watch and tells me goodnight.
I think I finally fell asleep at 2:00. The alarm went off at 5:25, but Jason wasn't budging. I tried to wake him for 20 minutes to no avail. I told him I was changing the alarm and he just wouldn't go in to work early. He grumbled. I went back to bed.
Ten minutes later, Graham woke up with his Happy Morning Jabber-talking. I kept my eyes closed until I could feel his little nose pressed up against mine. I opened my eyes and he started laughing.
Good Morning Mom! It's Friday!!!
