My Freaky Night
My mind is doing some pretty crazy things lately. It is now about 5:45 in the morning. About 2 1/2 hours ago, one of the strangest things happened to me. I suddenly awoke to find myself sitting straight up in bed with the covers tossed off. Not too weird yet, right? Then I realized I had something, or should I say someone, in my lap! I looked down to discover Renae in my lap. I was so confused and started looking around trying to figure out what in the world was going on. Then she started fussing, so I fed her and tried to make sense of it all. I remembered putting her in the pack and play last night to sleep. She cried quite a bit, but after about 10 minutes, she and I both fell asleep in our respective beds. The next thing I remember was the scene I just described for you where I was sitting up in bed. I couldn't figure out if she'd been in bed with me for a while (that was a scary thought because I wasn't aware of that fact if that was the case) or if I had been sleep walking! I wasn't particularly thrilled with either idea! I just kept hugging Renae and apologizing to her. Then I said a prayer to help me remember, if possible, what happened. Then I put Renae back down and we went to sleep. When Brandon's alarm went off at 5:30, the first thing I said to him was "Do you want to hear something weird?" I told him the story and he said, "yeah, I remember." He said that Renae had been fussing pretty loudly, so I said something a bit strange, got up to get her and then sat back down to feed her. That's where my memory takes over, I guess. I remember having some pretty vivid dreams last night, so I guess when Renae started crying, I must have heard it in my dream and started acting out what was going on in my dream. Brandon keeps reassuring me that Heavenly Father is watching out for us, as is he (Brandon), and that he wouldn't have let me do anything scary. It just bothers me that I sleepwalked because I haven't done that since my first decade of life. I hope my foggy brain lifts soon! I hate not being able to remember things that I should recall.

Wow, Rebecca, that is a little scary! Us poor sleep deprived mom's just have such foggy brains!
ReplyDeleteYes, you sound like a tired mommy. Glad everything was okay.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Renae looks so much like your mom!
Holy cow. I had chills the entire time I read this. I'm glad nobody got hurt. Yes, that must be frustrating.
ReplyDeleteShe is okay! Just take a nap when the kids are napping so that you are also getting plenty of rest!
