Last night as I turned off my light, as I moved around trying to get comfortable with joints and muscles aching and surrounded by puppies on both sides, I could hear the sounds coming from downstairs of my husband and my son together. Talking, laughing, just spending time together- and it was a beautiful sound. It was as if all was right in my world and I could sleep peacefully.
Of course- that didn't stop the insomnia monster. Less than 3 hours later I was up- at which point my Auggie jumped off the bed and followed me downstairs. That was at 1:30 this morning. Three hours ago. I have been catching up on my DVR since. I have had a pot of half-caf coffee, prepped a second one for when Josh wakes up, and at some point today- I will so very nap. Until then I sit here smiling, giving thanks for having all of my little family under one roof, if only for a few days. And knowing that though Josh and I are going down to surprise my folks on Saturday (with the pups) by Wednesday when Jim joins us- the only thing missing will be my sisters and their families. Sleep will get better- and maybe Wednesday night I will get the best night's sleep I have had in some time.
