Since becoming pregnant I have made a habit of getting in bed by 9 p.m. My friends can make fun all they want … but when a mother is awakened numerous times by a sick boy who wants nothing to do with his daddy, he ONLY WANTS MOMMY at 12:45, and 1:45, 2:45, and 3:45 when she finally gets up and starts laundry and makes him a bed on the couch and makes herself some coffee …

SHE IS GLAD SHE WENT TO BED EARLY.



4:00 A.M.
