Tuesday Ten: Things that get me up at night

As I find myself sitting at the computer at 2 AM on Wednesday morning, this seemed appropriate.


1. A sick child (this is what has me up tonight - Justin has croup)


2. A trip to the bathroom


3. A cramp in my leg or back (usually caused by a feline laying on that part)


4. Need for a drink


5. "Moooooooooooooommmmmmmmmyyyyyyyy!"


6. A loud noise


7. "Meee-oooooow" (Frodo asking to come in after galavanting outside all night - he loves to wake me up around 5 or 5:30, but will sometimes ask to come in earlier)


8. Overactive brain - this usually doesn't wake me up, but it will keep me up, and potentially get me out of bed.


9. Coughing. I'm prone to it, particularly once we hit autumn or winter, and will get out of bed rather than wake up Mike.

10. It bears repeating - a trip to the bathroom. Having children has destroyed my capacity to go more than 6 hours without said trip. Very annoying. This is the number one reason I find myself awake during the night - every night.

Bonsoir!
