i was still planning on working out.

Last night I went to bed at 9:30 pm. I set my alarm for 5:20 am so that I could go workout.

Last night Drew woke up a little while later, crying and very upset. He could give us no reason as to why he was awake or upset. He did not want to be comforted, did not want a drink, did not want us to look at him, touch him, stand next to his bed or breath in his direction. Tom and I became frustrated with each other, both thinking that the other was doing something wrong (neither one of us was doing anything wrong). Tom went back to bed. I stayed and had Drew yell at me and kick around his bed for a few more minutes. Then I told him I was going back to bed. This did not make him happy, but I went anyway.

At about 10, or a little after, Drew had calmed down and was standing at the top of the basement steps (our bedroom is in the basement). He stood quietly without saying anything for a few minutes. I think he was trying to decide if he was going to continue to be stubborn, or actually tell us what was wrong. Finally, he says, "Mom! I want you to come up here, please!" I went up, he let me pick him up, so I carried him back to his bed. He said that he had a tummy ache and that he thought he had sand in his eyes from Mimi's house. So, I got him a wet washcloth and tried to lay it across his eyes. "NO!! I want it warm! This isn't helping!" I don't know how, but I did manage to get him to lay down and calm down. He started yawning and getting sleepy. He then farted 7 times in a row. Hmmm...I guess the tummy ache is taken care of. So, I tired to make my escape. He let me go with very little resistance.

I got back in bed a reported to Tom about his gas, saying that he'd probably go back to sleep now. Then the crying began again. "MOM! I need you! MOM!! LAY WITH ME!!" I grabbed my pillow and told Tom that Drew had won. I was going to sleep in his bed for awhile. Tom rolled over, looked at the clock (10:30), "Oh my god! You were up there for 30 minutes already!? No wonder I went back to sleep!" Gee, thanks, Tom. I took my pillow and went up and laid with Drew until he was WAY asleep.

Drew was awake again at 1 AM. Tom went to him.

Drew was up at 4 AM.

I reset my alarm for 6:25.

I guess I'm going to go workout after I drop the boy off at school. Thank heaven for school sometimes.
