First of all, I get that any disappointments I feel indicate a need for me to move my level of expectations.
But I am SO tired of Cullen's life revolving around sleep. And even MORE tired of hearing his pretty little ideas like "i'm going to wake up early with you and we'll have coffee and snuggle before the day starts." Because I'm eternally optimistic (okay, MOST of the time) and I get my hopes up every time.
He didn't have to work at Fed Ex this morning. We went to bed at a decent time. I don't know why I thought he'd really get up with me, and have coffee with me. My life has been all about getting him "MORE" sleep for all these years, why wouldn't it be that way today too?
I tried to get him up at 7, his normal time. Brushed off. That's the other thing that irritates me. When I have daycare kids here, the last thing I need is to keep being his snooze button. (when IS the last time that I slept in and didn't get up with the kids? WHEN???? Yeah, I can't remember either. He did nap me on Sunday when I wasn't feeling good.) I went back in, irritated at 7:15, and then he tells me "Sorry, I don't need to be up yet, I have that class today...25 more minutes...."
Fantastic.
I lasted 15 because Ethan was playing with his weights that he left in the livingroom.
I said "Can you please get up and take your weights and stuff back downstairs. Maybe you want to say hi to your family before you go to work."
I don't know why I expect anything different from him. Actions speak louder than words.
One of these days I'll just go back into single parent mode and stop counting on him to participate in any way shape or form. As long as HE gets enough sleep, that is ALL that matters.
