It was 3:42 this morning.\u00a0 Laura had pulled her “reverse Houdini” routine.\u00a0 That is, she had crept into our room, climbed into the bed, snuggled down under the covers and fallen asleep.\u00a0 I slept right through that part as usual.<\/p>\n
At exactly 3:42 she sat up and screamed “in the living<\/strong> room!” at the top of her lungs.\u00a0 It came out “in da yivin <\/strong>woom” but I understood exactly what she said.\u00a0 Pardon me, screamed.\u00a0 Right…in…my…ear.\u00a0 Apparently she was arguing with someone in her dream and needed to get her point across.\u00a0 As soon as she closed her mouth, she collapsed back into the pillow and returned to her dream.\u00a0 I’m not exactly sure why but I started laughing.\u00a0 I guess it was a natural reaction to release pent up anxiety from being scared out of my skin.\u00a0 My guffawing woke Laura from her vivid dream.\u00a0 She was NOT happy.\u00a0 So that left Robert in shock from being jerked out of a deep sleep, me laughing uncontrollably and Laura fussing at me saying “it’s NOT funny, Mama!”<\/p>\n Of course, my mind then wandered back about 11 hours to yesterday afternoon.\u00a0 I was inside finishing my book and Robert had taken the girls down to the lake.\u00a0 As soon as I was done reading, I went outside to join them.\u00a0 Laura came running up to tell me about a frog she had held.\u00a0 Her favorite part?\u00a0 “Mama, he pee on me!”\u00a0 That got a huge laugh from me so Laura spent the rest of the afternoon yelling “he pee on me!\u00a0 dat fwog pee on me!” and making me laugh.<\/p>\n There I was.\u00a0 3:42AM\u00a0 Laughing my ass off at the peeing frog who is supposed to be in the “yivin woom!”\u00a0 No wonder I am exhausted….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It was 3:42 this morning.\u00a0 Laura had pulled her “reverse Houdini” routine.\u00a0 That is, she had crept into our room,…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[11,71,73,5,72],"class_list":["post-171","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-children","tag-dream","tag-frog","tag-houdini","tag-laura","tag-living-room"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/annakatedonovan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/annakatedonovan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/annakatedonovan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/annakatedonovan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/annakatedonovan.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=171"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/annakatedonovan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":173,"href":"https:\/\/annakatedonovan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171\/revisions\/173"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/annakatedonovan.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=171"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/annakatedonovan.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=171"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/annakatedonovan.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=171"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
