Not a great start to the day today. Since the time change Alex has been up off and on all night long. Last night it was almost every hour he was up, saying he couldn't sleep, what time is it, can he get up and watch tv or play downstairs, etc. At 4:45 this morning he was sitting up in my bed and had been asking for about 20 minutes if he could get up and play. I kept telling him no, that it was still way too early and to wait a little while longer. Do you want to know what he did? This is pretty embarrassing for me to write, but this is what life is like with Alex, so here goes....He says, "mom, what is wet in here? The bed is wet right here." I immediately sat up and felt around him - he was naked from the waist down and had peed in my bed purposely. Are you kidding? I am so freaking tired at this point, all I want is some sleep, and I don't even know how to respond to him. I told him to get up and I had to strip the bed right away since it was soaked. "Why would you do this? You don't ever pee the bed. Why would you take your pants off and go right on my sheets?" Of course he said, "Sorry mom. But I wanted to get up and you wouldn't let me. Now I have to get up so you can change the bed. So, I'm going downstairs now, ok?" So not ok. I want to cry at this point, not because of the pee, because I am so damn tired I just don't know what it will take for me to get a good night sleep. How am I supposed to be patient and kind with the kids when I am running on empty all of the time? So I made him help me bring the sheets downstairs and do the laundry, told him he is not allowed in my bed again unless the world was coming to an end and went t make my coffee. As I write this, he is sitting on the floor next to me whining and yelling already because he is just as tired as I am. Let's cross our fingers for a good day.....
