I Am Such A Sucker

Look at that face!

This morning, the alarm went off at 3:15 like usual, so I could get Junior up for work. Unlike other mornings, the alarm woke Brandi. I tried to get her to fall back to sleep, but by 4:30 she was still up, and wide awake. We got out of bed, and she watched some iCarly and Drake & Josh, and was ready for school by 5:30. I should mention that she didn't fall asleep until around 10 last night, because her throat was bothering her.

We walked to the bus stop, and she was complaining that she was tired. I mean, I could understand, since I am no good on 5 hours sleep, either. As soon as the bus rounded the corner, she started to cry. She said she was too tired to go to school, and that her tummy hurt.

I know I was being played, but I let her come back home with me. We both laid back down and slept a couple more hours. I know I haven't been feeling well lately, and I think she might have caught a little of that from me. Besides, what is it going to hurt if she misses one day of school?
