So last night...Brandon and I settled down for the evening and decided to enjoy a glass of wine and a movie. The ending credits rolled around 10:30, and that was when the night REALLY began, and NO, it's not what you think!
We thought it was odd that Molly was sleeping during her typical awake time, but figured she was pretty tired after such a long weekend and heck, we got to watch a movie uninterrupted! But, as soon as the movie was over, Molly's tummy woke her up right on cue. Brandon stayed up with her and watched SportsCenter and then came to bed around midnight after she fell asleep. Molly woke up at 1:30, wide awake and hungry. I fed her and tried to get her to realize she was tired, but to no avail.
At 3:15, I'd had enough. I went into the living room and reached for the lamp, only to knock over an entire glass of red wine. It went everywhere...all over the carpet, the couch, the table, Brandon's laptop...there was no hope at all of stopping it mid-air. I raced to our room, handed Molly to Brandon, and began the clean-up. Brandon entertained a wide-awake and once-again-hungry Molly while I Oxy-Cleaned the carpet. At 4:00 I headed to bed and Brandon tried to lull Molly to sleep on the wine-stained couch. He got her to sleep at 5:00 and came to bed, only for her to wake up at 5:30. This time, I got up with her. My hand was burning...apparently you shouldn't leave Oxy-Clean on your skin for more than a few hours without washing it entirely off! Molly and I went out to the kitchen to look at the twinkle lights...which usually soothes her. This is when I saw it... a furry, four-legged creature scurrying across my kitchen floor. Molly and I jumped up on the counter, just as the mouse disappeared under the oven. Molly then pooped on cue and I was off to her room to change her and feed her yet again.
After that, Molly ate again, and fell back asleep at 6:00. When the alarm went off at 7:00, Brandon and I just began to laugh.
