A Day In Bed

 How sad.  I consciously spent the day in bed today.  Why, you ask?  I am tired.  So very tired.  For three nights now my children are waking up and staying up.  I have an incredibly hard time sleeping after waking in the night and after three nights of it, I needed some down time.  So much down time that when my children came home from school, I didn't notice so deep was my sleep.  And they didn't come looking for me.  How sad.  When I did wake up, my children were fine without me.  They had fixed themselves snacks and were playing well together.  As soon as they saw me, they started throwing fits, begging for things, and hitting me.  Wow, way to make me go back to bed.
 In my defense, they were not unsupervised for long.  Actually, I think they prefer to be on their own because I make them do chores when I'm around.  If somebody nagged me all day I wouldn't want to be around them either.
