I am so tired this morning.......

[Kteacher]

I worked at Penney's all day yesterday (not supposed to be doing it because of my hip, but they had a huge sale and needed me). I came home exhausted and went to bed really early, before any of my kids. Five minutes after I went to bed DD comes in "What are you doing Mommy?" Ummmm.....I was sleeping. Ten minutes later DS12 comes in " Mom what are you doing?" Then the phone rings-its DS15 calling to tell me he was sleeping over a friends house- even though he had already told me this -oops-he forget he already told me this Okay-do kids have some kind of sixth sense when it comes to their mothers trying to get some rest????

 

[Wishydoo]

yes, they do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[DaisyDebbie]

Absolutely!!! Heaven forbid we should be in bed when they're not

Do you get that relentless tapping on ***insert arm, shoulder, leg, tummy here***as you try to sleep on the couch too

 

[Pooh93]

I can totally relate! If I try to lay down, go to the bathroom, take a shower etc....all I hear is "mom, I have to ask you something...mom, I need such and such...." Doesn't matter if dh is home or not, they still come to me!!

 

[LuvN~Travel]

I know what you mean. If I have something for them to do, or if I"m just surfing the net or reading, you can't find anyone around here. But.....you just let me lay down for just a little rest, and people come out of the woodwork! And, of course yes, the phone starts ringing too! People must have a 6th sense about when Mom is sleepy!

After I had my daughter it was years before I could go into the bathroom and lock the door----They know---they know. Now as for going to bed early-------Yes this to they know----even at 18 If I go to bed early she always checks up on me---becasue I'm doing something out of the ordinary........guess kids really do love their parents and are looking out for us----even when we are only trying to get a little extra sleep.

I can totally relate, nobody asks Dad anything.
My friend was soaking in the tub and her 2 kids knocked on the door to ask for a cookie......she said can't you ask Daddy? They said "No, he's too busy reading the paper"....... How is he any busier than Mom???
My Grandmother used to say 2 things that I didn't understand until I had kids of my own.......
#1-I'm changing my name to Daddy
#2-I think if I was eating dog **** every kid in the house would want a bite.

Of course they do. Just like they always have something to fight about right when you get on the phone. My DH is good about telling me to go take a nap when I've had a long, stressful week. But then he pays no attention and is unaware that the girls are upstairs at my door, pounding!!
Get some sleep tonight.

That is hysterical!!! I love it!!

I had a bathroom visit from my 4yo DD today (my fault, I didn't lock the door) but, while she's keeping me company, she points out some miniscule spider that I couldn't see AT ALL so, I lean forward to see where she's pointing and, she screams!! The thing was 'dropping down' from the ceiling in mid air and, RIGHT INTO MY HAIR as I leaned! When she screamed, I quickly leaned back, only to catch a glimpse (and I mean a glimpse) of this itsy-bitsy spider following me!! ACK!! I've had the itchies all day and, I beat the heck outta my head trying to kill the itsy-bitsy thing.

How's your head this morning KimRaye?

Your story made me giggle!

I regularly "introduce" my kids to their father......you know, the man they walked around, past or sometimes over.......to get to me to ask for something he could easily get or do!!!
