Go the F to Sleep Part II

Picture it - Last night, 3AM. Everyone was sleeping soundly until...


"Eh! ..... Eh!"

Stage 1: DENIAL
Maybe it's just static... or a far-off drive-by shooting... or the monitor is picking up some other random baby in the neighborhood...

"Ick! Eh! Ick!"

Stage 2: ANGER
Ohhhhh, fuddddggggge... definitely my kid...

"Ehhhhhhhhhh?  Ick! Ehhhhhhh???!!!"

Stage 3: BARGAINING
Penny, If you give me one more hour (FIVE MORE MINUTES???) of sleep, I will give you extra tickles in the morning. And a pony.

"EHHHHHH! EHHHHHHHH!!!!???"

Stage 4: DEPRESSION
I am never going to sleep a full night ever again. Ever. When she is in college, I will have to travel to her dorm at 3AM, give her a glass a milk, throw her over my shoulder and walk her around the room until she falls back asleep...

"EhhhhhhhhhhWAHHHHHHHHHH!"

Stage 5: ACCEPTANCE
Okay, I'm up.

Rinse, repeat.

It was a rough night...


But we were all smiles in the morning. And she still got extra tickles... call me a push over, I guess.
