"Shh... shhh... go to sleep"
Thursday, July 30, 2009
I have been getting cramps in my leg at night lately. Not sure why, but it sure is annoying.
Last night I got a bad one. A really, really bad one.
I couldn't move my leg and oh the pain!
"Ow, ow, ow... Tom!” I screamed.
"Shh... shh... it's okay... go back to sleep..." was his annoying reply.
"No, it's not okay! Help me!!! Bad cramp!!!!"
Finally, after what seemed like forever, he realized I needed help and was able to get the cramp to go away.
I should probably explain why he didn't come to my rescue sooner.
It is my fault.
You see... I wake up Tom at night.
A lot.
Maybe even nightly.
I don't do it on purpose.
I don't even remember doing it most of the time.
I have bad dreams quite often.
Sometimes those dreams are about people trying to hurt me (or Tom or Logan), sometimes they are about spiders.
Sometimes those dreams make me scream, sometimes they cause me to hit Tom.
Always they wake him up.
Poor guy.

Poor Betsy. Even poorer Tom. I HATE nighmares! Ben isn't too sympathetic when I wake him up either.
That's funny. I think I hit Jared like 5 times last night. Good times!:)
I've learned that I'm quite the pacifist while sleeping and Lindsay is very opportunistic. I wake up often in the morning freezing with no cover crowded on the corner of the bed only to see her sprawled out in a mound of blankets.
I don't get hit often, but I do wake up to Lindsay in a panic once every week or so.
She does feel guilty about it. Or at least she says she does.
Eat some bananas. It helps with the cramps.
When I was pregnant I got those cramps all the time... they said it was a calcium deficiency? Who knows.
