Controlled Chaos (cont)

I realized this morning that the cause of my waking up in the mornings to extra bodies in my bed is the reason I am not sleeping well at night. I used to think huh maybe my matress is just not working for me. Then I realized my kids were sneaking into bed with me. It would not be so bad but their little legs and arms just dont feel right when they are knudged in your back.  I have had nights were I have slept like a baby, but I wake up either to my hubby when he is home , or to myself. I would rather wake up to my love than to myself though, that just makes for a bad day waking up to myself.  Then I think what is the problem with the kids sneaking in bed with me vs. my hubby being home. The answer I can come up with is : 1. they steal the blankets, 2.they take up the whole bed  leaving me just inches to sleep on. 3. They occasionally pee the bed. Have you ever woke up to that warm feeling and realized that it is urine. Talk about a wake up call.  Then there is my hubby, he doesn't move the whole night and when he does he snuggles with me. Since the only time he gets to sleep next to me is every four weeks. So I guess I am in a state of sleep where I am in total happiness, to where I don't allow any of his movement to bother me.

I love the kids but, they have their own beds to sleep on. That is why we have such a big house to live in so each kid has their own bed.  So what do I do is the question on keeping them out of my bed. Do I lock them in their room ( just a statement I wouldn't really do it),or do I lock myself into my room which I dislike the factor cause I keep my door open, since the kids are so sneaky at night. You know the late night snacks.  I am so bothered by this, because I love to get my lumberous sleep at night, and I become  a TOTAL GRUMP ( big caps for a reason,lol). Maybe I should start taking sleeping tablets so it just knocks me out for the night, where I don't even notice that they have gotten into bed with me.  But that wouldn't do either, you know since a natural disaster may come while I am sleeping, that would honestly be my luck. Well I guess when I find out what the finding factor is I will let you know. Until then we will see what happens.
