Wild Nights

December 17, 2007 – 5:41 am

Lately CJ has been having dreams. Vivid, crazy, memorable dreams. And with the dreams comes the occasional nightmare.

So there I am, peacefully snoring in my king-sized bed WHEN…

Suddenly CJ is beside me, screaming in terror.

(this is not a pleasant way to wake up, FYI)

I try to comfort CJ, but between his flailing and my stupor, all I manage to do is get myself WHACKED right in the lip. And it HURTS!

“I’M BLEEDING!” I shout in Jay’s general direction, “DO SOMETHING!”

Jay grabs CJ and holds him. “CJ! It’s ok!”

“THERE’S A WIGGLY SNAKE!” howls CJ, “RIGHT THERE!” he points at the foot of the bed, and the deranged glint in his eye is testament to the fact that he really SEES a snake there.

I wake up the next morning more tired than usual with a big bloody spot on my lower lip.

Some people say you give up an exciting nightlife when you have children, but I have to disagree.

Ours is positively OVERFLOWING with drama.

    Yes, but my nighttime drama involves the second kid coming down with the stomach virus that kept me up ALL night with Parker. Ugh

    Sounds like a night terror. You crazy party animals.

    That is quite a nightlife you have going there. Hope the fat lip gets better.

    I hear ya! I thought the sleep issues would be gone after babyhood. How naive I was! Makes you appreciate those nights of no interruption!

    I can’t even say “at least nobody got hurt”. Egads!

    My son has recently been waking up screaming “Mommy! Moooommmmyyyy!” in the middle of sobs. I’m wondering to myself, what could an 18 month old possibly have nightmares about? Hope you get more sleep and no more fat lips. =)
