Rise and Shine... NOT


It's going to be another weird night for Chimmie and I. On Christmas eve, Linda got up at 3:00 a.m. to take Sarah and Taylor to the airport. We got up with her, but both of us fell right back asleep. When she got home at 5:00 a.m., Linda wanted to go to bed, but we wanted to play. Tonight she is headed back to the airport, but this time she leaves at 11:45 p.m. By the time they collect the luggage and drive home from the airport, it will probably be close to 1:00 a.m. We'll have been sleeping, so when she gets in bed, we'll think it's morning already. Linda wishes they made doggie sleeping pills. The last 4 or 5 nights, Chimmie is up every 20 minutes wanting to play or use the pee-pee pad. If you add up the small amount of time Linda is actually sleeping, it's not more than 3 hours a night. It looks like he is might be spending nights in the bathroom from now on. The first weeks will be horrible. He'll scratch and cry to come out for hours. The lack of sleep is giving Linda headaches and she is having a hard time making it through her classes.
