Everytime I put Tyler to sleep,
something would always happen.
Today was even extra annoying!

Last night, Tyler was sick, and he threw up twice.
And I mean, projectile-Exorcist-movie-style vomit.
He has been cranky all day, wiggles and squirms too.
Which makes him very very tired.
But, he is so curious of everything around him,
that he would do absolutely anything to keep himself awake.

Making him go to sleep, or even a nap is like
forcing a circle where a square should be.

So we work so hard to put him to sleep,
Tyler will fight it like a fly caught in a spider’s web
Once he gives in and falls asleep.
The phone would ring.
I mean every freakin’ time.

It’s like someone is doing a constant
surveillance on us,

like:

Okay, the kid is asleep…
Now he is laying him down…
okay…okay… steady…..steady…
ready on the speed dial….
steady……steaaadddyyyyy..
NOW!!!!!!!!!!..

RIIIIINNNGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AAAHHHHHH!!MMMTTHHRRFFFRRRCCKKKKAAAAAAAAA!!!!

It never fails.

It’s either the phone,
or Nimbus would see his boyfriend Sparky outside,
Barking like crazy, wanting to smell his nuts.

Tracy and I almost lost it, and told everybody off.
She is tired, I am tired,
and Tyler is sick.

And to finish our night,
at around 8 o’ clock,
some guy from Bell Canada rang our doorbell.
(which drove the dog crazy and charged to the door, barking, slipping and sliding like a cartoon)
Then this guy is asking if we have internet
and if we would like to subscribe to Sympatico.

I mean come on!!!
8 o’ clock at night?
Tracy almost tore his head off.
I swear.

You know sometimes,
Tracy and I talk about other Parents, who have kids.
and how they deal with situations like this.
Or better yet,
Parent’s who have twins or triplets.

She said,
“You never hear about those people complaining.”

I said,
“Yes. That’s because I think they already killed themselves. “

I need some sleep.
Oh and a happy Cinco de Mayo!
