The Odd Night

As I sit here with not-a-lot-a-sleep, I'm reminded of nights I stayed up because of a kid, either baby, preteen, teenager or adult.  Tonight was because of work, but even after I went back to bed, I lay awake and my mind wandered. 


I was reminded of nights with ear infections, 


wet beds, 


a missed curfew, 


a bright light being left on, 


a bad dream, 


an argument with a kid, 


a call from authorities.


 As soon as I fell asleep (it seems) this morning, the phone rang again with the same work issue... 

I'm glad it's just work stuff, but I have a feeling it's going to be a long day.
