Ever have?

One of those nights where everything under the moon tries to wake you up?

Well first off I'm a parent so my kids tend to do that a lot anyways. My daughter hasn't woken me up since the beginning of last year and she's 7. She's never been afraid of the boogy man or monsters under her bed, or lightning, I've seen her stare down some things that she is afraid of. Yes she'll be crying...but oh she will make sure the thing that scared her cries too.

My 2 year old son...bugs, shadows, loud noises, bright flashy lighty stuff...yeah he's afraid of them. We got him a race car for his birthday and he cries. So yes...every storm, every loud noise, every bright light will wake up my son and he'll want his protector...his older sister.

Lately we've been having storms so naturally my son gets scared and it takes about 20 minutes after the storm to get him back asleep, Then there was a car alarm that went off...five times last night, plus something that smacked into our window (I haven't got a clue as to what it was.) A random fart (Which was his own. I got a giggle out of that one) plus the usual nightmare.

So yeah...needless to say...I'm tired as hell.
