I’m Scared

Wednesday night Lauren woke up for whatever reason and ended up in our bed.

Abigail tried the same, but there was no room at the inn, so Jen took her back to her room.

Too many disruptions obviously means poor sleep.

Now it’s Thursday night. Lauren wakes up again. Jen goes in to try and get her back to sleep in her own bed. It’s not going well. Lauren’s crying “I’m scared, I’m scared, I’m scared,” while Jen is telling her to go back to bed. It’s not going well.

Since Jen did most of the sleepless work the night before, I get up and send Jen back to bed.

To get Lauren to go to bed I lie down on her floor and try to sleep – an uncomfortable sleep at best.

An hour or so into it I try to get up and sneak back to my own bed.

Doesn’t work. She hears the door squeak and she’s up crying again.

I lay back down on the floor and try to sleep the rest of the night.

Overall it wasn’t that bad. Thursday night happened to be the night I passed out on the couch at 9pm. I still managed around 10 hours of sleep that night.
