Seriously. I am going crazy.
It is now 1:42 a.m. Justin came to bed at midnight and switched the dishwasher on as he came to bed. For some reason our baby monitor decided to stop working the other day, so for now we are sleeping with our door open so we can hear Judah. Well, the dishwasher thought it needed to run on it's wash cycle for over an hour and a half. Yes, at 1:37 I finally went out there and turned it off. I have now realized a dishwasher is a noise that you don't necessarily notice during the day, it's kind of a background noise. Let me assure you it is very annoying at night. Right up there with fingernails on a chalkboard.
As if that wasn't enough...Judah has been awake in his crib for over an hour. Just happily talking away and playing. He likes to run his Larry's along the crib rails. Lovely. :) I finally went and checked on him thinking maybe dirty diaper??? Nope. Just one wide awake Judah ready to play.
So then I come back to bed (mind you the dishwasher was still running at this point) and ask my almost snoring (you know the breathing that isn't quite snoring...but just as annoying?), bed hogging husband what I should do about our wide awake son. His first reply was to roll over and pull the blanket over his head. Nice. I tried again and was informed that I should pick him (Judah, not Justin) up and hold him. I said, "okay. So I should just sit up with our wide awake son?" And he told me, "oh, you can lean back a little if you want, you don't have to sit completely up."
So helpful. I should know by now not to talk to him while he is sleeping. He never makes sense and is usually mean.
Now I am sitting here. Finally without the dishwasher. One problem solved. My son is still running Larry up and down his crib rails. My husband is still hogging the bed. I want to throw a fit (things seem worse in the middle of the night) and kick something. I was thinking Justin...think he would notice that? :)
Edited at 3:00 to add this. Because it is way to funny not to share!
I finally got Judah to sleep and came back to bed. As I was crawling into bed Justin "woke" up and we had this conversation:
Justin: i fixed your problem
Me: what problem?
Justin: the one you were complaining about earlier.
Me: okay...what problem would that be?
Justin: um...i don't know. that one problem.
Me: okay. how did you fix it?
Justin: i beat that level on the game.
Me: oh. i see. good job.
Ha ha! So funny to me. I love my life. :)

Yesterday morning James and I had this conversation:
Me: You should get up.
He: Make sure you stay close to the fence.
Me:Ok, but you need to get up
He:(Sarcasticly)Oh, really
We have stenge conversations when he is asleep too. I love it.
Wow... at least you contemplate kicking Justin... I just get a swift kick, push, and WHAM... I'm on the floor knowing I did something wrong (it just takes me about 3 days to figure out WHAT I did wrong).
My philosophy is just to get the kick over with. Gets everything wide open...kind of. I suppose if men weren't so dumb when they were sleepy :) Just kinding. Or am I? Well, I'm pretty dumb too I suppose, so can't blame it all on them.
lol, so funny.
this is funny!
but i hate not being able to sleep. i hope you finally got some rest.
i leave a fan on all night to drown out the city noise...that seems to help, sometimes...
Brad and I have similar conversations every couple weeks..he has told me that there are fires in the street or something about our cupboards waking up:) I'm sorry Judah was being a pain...did he sleep in nicely again then?
overheard from my lovely appreciated and thankful wife:
thank you husband for taking care of all the dishes lat night: loading and unloading the dishwasher and starting it.
thank you for leaving me alone so i could watch last nights episode of hereoes in peace.
thank you for sleeping in my bed with me every night and never not in it, or with someone else. i love your incredible faithfulness to me.
thank you husband for sleeping so close to me, i love how you desire to cuddle with me all night.
thank you husband for being funny.
thank you husband for being a big strong man to protect me from physical danger and for being able to wrap me in your big strong arms for big strong protecting hugs. unlike sissy "little boys", even if it means you breathe a little loudly. i like sharing my bed with you.
thank you husband for mating with me and producing the wonderful little boy we have and for helping me raise him so to be fun loving, happy, ready to play little man that is a joy to have.
thank you husband for going in late to work tomorrow morning and getting up when judah does in the morning so i can sleep in til whenever i want to.
to which i reply: wifey, i love you. i am thankful for all the ways you love me and take care of me and judah and cohen too.
; )
BTW: when i woke up this morning i had beat the game.
justin- i'm proud of you for winning :)
kristi- you should have kicked him.
I hate it when I can't sleep either. Jeremy doesn't even use words thought he just makes some noises that are words in his head.. but are just grunts and kicking doesn't work :)
You might need a quieter dishwasher. I can't hear ours from anywhere outside of the kitchen.
We also have a CD radio in each of the kids rooms, and we can play their "going to sleep CD" anytime...either when they are going to sleep so they aren't distracted by grownup noises, or in the middle of the night if there is thunder or other unusual noises.
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! oh Justin.
Your rant was entirely justified and you are the best mom either... but I think you could have just left Judah there. i'm sure he would have fallen asleep sooner than later. Then again, I'm not a mom...
Oh Justin....
p.s. And I just read Justin comment and now i want to kick him. :)
ha ha, this made me laugh so hard! This is reminicent of nights when Zeke was younger, or even now. Chad can carry on conversations when he is sleeping as well, which are often times very bazarre. usually he will just blurt out some random comment, but occasionally he will actually wake me up to say something, which is still completely incoherent thoughts strung together by someone who is sound asleep. Zeke used to make up in the middle of the night and "sing" until one of us got up to play with him. Some nights he'd be awake for several hours before he decided he was tired again. Now, if Zeke wakes up, I get a swift kick or shove and get informed that our son is crying and I need to go get him... what happened to the hubby getting up with the kid?
