Yeah, that's what was going on in our house... That's fine. She can have a night or two here and there. And that's really what it's been. A night or two here and there. But come on folks, what do you remember? Do you remember the nights you got sleep or the nights you didn't?
Just ask Choners... He remembers EVERYTHING. With exception, he remembers more sleepless nights than not. But I chock it up to, he's a Dad...
Hey, it's what helps ME sleep at night... bah-dum-ch...
I just remember laying in bed, hearing whining...then the whining stopped. and the long procession of "Ptththhhththhtht..." began...and apparently, more whining...and then Dad got up... the whining stopped... he laid down... it started again... He surrendered at Appomatox and the Yanks were cheering... or I shall say... blowing raspberries at the defeated.
Then I get a picture of the Winner...alseep in her high chair... So, really... Winner? or Loser? I think Daddy lost the battle, but won the war... muahahahahahaha...
It's little things like this that make being a parent awesome...
Really...
Oh and manipulation... I don't usually like manipulation.. I think it's sneaky... I like things straight forward. But Harley is a brain ninja sometimes... so I have to play dirty.
I needed her to get her work done early so we can go see Nina on Friday while she is town!! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!! The usual niceties weren't working... wah-wah-waaahhh... I wanted the visit to be a surprise... but behold.. My child doesn't really give you the opportunity for surprise. Something always comes along that causes you to blow the surprise right out of the water. I have come to accept this for the most part. So, I finally told her,"Ok here's the deal smarty pants. You need to do two days worth of your homework packet tonight so that we can go see Nina cause she's in town..."
The packet is done.
The End.
Kids are awesome dammit... no matter what anybody says...
