I Think I May Have Slept with Satan!
OK.....Let's assume I finally got to sleep around 4:30am. By 7:30 I'm being driven on, with assorted vehicles of various sizes. So assuming that this is as close to a massage as I'm ever gonna get, I try to go with it and sleep some more.
Not too long after, the comforter is slowly being pulled down, exposing me to the morning chill. So somewhere between my chest and knees, I have to grab said comforter and try to twirl myself up in it, putting my weight on it, so it can't be pulled back away. OK....so all is cozy and warm.
I'm even handed one of about 30 Pooh bears that sleep in my bed, to cuddle with...so all is good.....for about 20 seconds, when Pooh is RIPPED from my arms and replaced with a smaller version. OK.....it's all good......for another 10 seconds.
The the insistent babbling starts....in a language I've NEVER heard before, that I think is only characteristic to male children. OK....I've learned to tune things out at a VERY young age, so I'm still hoping at this time, that I can get some sleep.
Then the real abuse starts. The climbing.....the bony elbows and knees....in my stomach, chest, thighs, calves....just about everywhere. I think I gave birth to a giant squid! So as I'm screaming and trying to struggle free from this torture, the comforter gets loose, and there is no returning for it now....I'm exposed.
Climbing over one leg....to easily immobile me, he starts tickling my foot with new enthusiasm. At this point, I'm seriously doubting I'm getting anymore sleep.
This continues...with very small breaks for about five minutes.
Then there comes the beating and the kicking....my legs and feet in pain....but not enough...not yet.
Then finally, my leg gets twisted in a position that I don't think any wrestler has ever had to endure. I scream and jump out of bed. "I'M UP!"
