Amazing!
Amazing!
Today the most awesome thing happened. My son slept in until I woke him up.
In fact, he didn’t even get up until after I went into his room to wake him. Normally, now that he’s on his new medication he will get up early. I mean really unbelievably early. I’m already getting up earlier to get him off to his new school, since the bus comes at 6:45 a.m. instead of 7:35 a.m. This is the first time in a couple of weeks that he wasn’t already up and making noise at 4:00 to 4:30 in the morning.
Let me tell you something. I don’t want to get up that early. Hell, I don’t want to get up at 5:15 in the morning if my alarm is going off at 5:30. Those 15 minutes are like golden drops of honey to me. I want to sleep for those 15 minutes, dammit! But, my son has other plans. He’s up. He wants to get going and start his day!
So, I drag my ass out of bed and tell him that he can stay out in the living room if he’s quiet. But, if he makes too much noise, he’s going back to bed. That usually works, but depending on how soon it is before I have to get up, I will either stay awake or fall back to sleep.
But, like I said. Not today! I woke to the alarm and no sign of Morgan. These are the days I go in to check if he’s still alive. Yep, he was. Still breathing, and rolling around on his bed like he does sometimes. He eventually got up and we started his day. After I got him on the bus, I took out the garbage and went back upstairs for a cup of coffee.
I woke up in my chair at 9:00 a.m., two hours later, feeling somewhat refreshed but an hour late for work already.
