530am is it bedtime?

Coming up on 530am here in whynotfathers.com land.  David has slept through the night for the most part.  There was a spot where he thought I was sleeping and tried to sneak out of the room, but I nipped that in the bud really quick.  Other than stretching in his sleep it has been uneventful. I sleep in the same room as David.  He has gotten more stealthy in his approach to leaving a room, so before where I used to wake up when he moved around, not so much anymore.  As a result, I am on the night shift, and my wife and eldest daughter will share the day shift. Now if I could just get some work stuff done, but every time I start working on a website, he wakes up.   Have a good a day my friends. Tweet #fighting4answrs

We have threatened to take him back to the hospital, but they will

a new alarm clock — the sound of a chair

that is being dragged across the floor. 🙂  such a lovely noise to wake up to. Greetings from this father at Why Not Fathers.  My night ended at 4am when I finally couldn’t keep my eyes open any longer.  Now, it is 6am and I am awake.  Thank you David. The beginning of another day. 🙂 I love him dearly, don’t get me wrong, but what I would give to get a full night of sleep. Cheers everyone will post more about my day later.   Related articles Is It Just Me?
