Moonlight Visit From My Fairy Princess

So Miss Sarina Fay (that's her middle name now) was awake and ready to go at 1am this morning. She woke up and I carried her into bed with me thinking she would fall back to sleep as usual but NO! She wanted to tease Mommy. She thought it was so funny to kick me and then she has taken to giving me little "love" bites. I do not like those but they produce peals of laughter from her. She was quite the acrobatic card. She jumped and rolled and bounced on and off the bed and on Mommy. Too, too funny according to her. I tried some tough love and put her back in her bed several times with stern admonishments to not bite Mommy. Ha, she laughed and then cried until I came and got her again. Usually at that time of night a simple hand on her back will put her back to sleep but last night she wanted me to hold her while I stood up. How I hate that. My arms begin to ache and then when I go to lay her down she clutches my neck in a death grip. My neck is still aching. Ok, this went on for far too long, 3am to be exact and I realized that both of us needed to sleep, especially since I had an early committee meeting. So mean Mommy had to close her door and mine plus turn on the fan so I didn't hear her heart wrenching sobs. Of course she was sound asleep in five minutes. Still, how guilty I feel. However, I think tonight she may just have to stay in her own bed. Hopefully I'll be too exhausted to even hear her. I have to be careful what I wish for as there is two of them to exhaust me now but so far Ben has been a little trooper. Perhaps being five is making a difference.

Mark is out of town for the week. He called last night from Buffalo, New York. I was surprised as he was scheduled to land in Newark, New Jersey. Seems they had a bit of a storm and they were diverted. So he leaves tonight from Newark to Berlin. Lucky him gets to spend a day getting to know Newark. How I envy him that. And then he is still scheduled to fly back on Friday but they may have him stay over to Saturday. Great. That was to be my Mommy gets out of the house free day for at least some time. If you are coming to my house don't expect a great meal on Saturday. Just a heads up.
