Me, myself and the mental patients

screamWhat is it about a screaming, crying child that causes other children to scream and cry? Is it a full moon? Am I a horrible person and this is retribution raining down upon me? Is there some sort of poison in the air affecting their brains?

Last night, while we were supposed to be sleeping (not that we ever get any…or not that I ever get any) both of my children decided to cry and scream for no apparent reason. The 6 month old, well, I understand that she’s a baby and doesn’t need a reason, but the 4 year old…sheeesh… When asked why he was crying, and what was wrong, he insisted it was nothing yet he continued to wail.

All the while…

My husband slept.

Isn’t that just mean and rude?

    My husband was the same way when the kids were babies.How do they do it? I wish I could have slept like he did. After our daughter was born (and while she was in me) I did not sleep for 3 years. She did not like it when I slept ever!
