I am so relieved! While I still have not perfected my “Mommy Look” (8/26/08), I realized last night that I have a pretty effective “Mommy Radar.” That has to count for something.
I should explain that I developed an ear infection several weeks ago. Since then, I have been struggling to recover from the irritating sinus drainage and hearing loss. (As an aside, I want to say that, when my hearing fully returns, Husband will be the absolute last to know! Our marriage has really benefitted from my reduced hearing. Between the 50% I can’t hear him say and the 50% I choose to ignore, we are doing great.) Anyway, I have been taking Nyquil every night to help me sleep. Two pills just before I sit down to watch tv and, by the 2nd commercial break, I am sound asleep. I can sleep through storms, sirens, and snoring. But last night, around 4 AM, I woke from a dead sleep when I heard the door open to one of the boys’ rooms. Not only did I hear the door, but I knew immediately which door it was from the unique creak…my radar was in full force. After checking on Son #2, I returned to bed…the guilty cat was sent downstairs. Guess who was still asleep?
