Chasing Zs

I can't understand why I slept just fine as a child, even when I did nothing all day but read (who does that sound like?), but as an adult who is busy all day with many things, I can't sleep!  Last night I tossed and turned, finally waking up for good at 5:00 AM.  I don't like this.  I was lonely.  So, I go ask if anyone wants to have some early quiet time with Mommy:

Hmmm...

Curlyjo, do you want to get up and keep Mommy company?  I couldn't sleep and I don't have anyone to talk to.

Humph. 

I see how it is. 

The kids can wake me up when they can't sleep and get lonely, but this behavior is not to be reciprocated. 

I guess I will just go see what Brother is up to.
