Musical Beds

But first...I know that I said I'd post ever other day in November and yes, I did miss yesterday, HOWEVER, I was at the Rutgers game. Clearly, attending a football game at my alma mater was way more important (GO RUTGERS!).

So, my father is in town for a few days. Mr. Little Man has a short break from school and what with him no longer being welcome at any establishments that offer child care services we had to enlist some grandparent type help. You know how that goes, right? I digress.

What interests me here is the game of musical beds we three are currently playing. When it is just the two of us we battle every night at bedtime about Mr. Little Man sleeping in his own room. He requires much less sleep that I do so usually he creeps into my room once he is ready to "really" sleep as opposed to the faux sleeping he does to get me to stop badgering him about staying in his own room. I sleep like a dead person so I never notice that someone has crawled into bed with me. Until he does one of the following:

1. gets rid of ALL of the covers
2. steals all of my pillows (minimum of 3)
3. lays across the bed horizontally while I lay vertically
4. hangs around my neck like an albatross

The original sleeping scenario with our visitor was that Mr. Little Man would sleep in his room, my father would sleep in my room and I would sleep on the couch. I happen to know that Mr. Little Man changed sleeping locations 6 times, I changed locations 5 times and my Dad changed locations twice.

Tonight I am adding an air mattress in an effort to mix things up.

What I am reading: Cookbooks. I am getting ready for Thanksgiving (In my house we sarcastically refer to Thanksgiving as the "holiday during which we celebrate the slaughter of the indigenous peoples").
What I am listening to: Death Cab for Cutie - I will follow you into the dark.
