I fell off to sleep beside Aaron, my older son, while trying to put him to sleep. I had told him I’m just gonna lay down for 2 minutes…not even long enough till you sleep, but just to calm you before bed. He has just started to sleep by himself in his room and every night before bed time there’s a little bit of tears and a sad face I need to fix. I go lie down by his side and if he’s really sleepy within minutes he’s asleep and I get up and go do my work. But the days when he’s not sleepy at all and I’ve got tons to do….it’s really frustrating. After even half hour or even an hour, he’ s still awake and I end up yelling at him because I’ve even to watch the little baby who needs me to feed him or put him to sleep too. And then ofcourse the dishes and all that chores.
Anyway, today I lay down and dozed off to sleep and the next thing I know or hear is Marc, my baby cry. It took me a good few seconds to come to reality from my deep slumber and realize where I was even. I look towards the door and I can see lights were on in the dining, kitchen n living room. So I call out to Roby asking him to quickly go check on Marc…he shouldn’t fall off the bed crying. I tucked Aaron neatly underneath his covers and went to talk to Roby..to tell him that I dozed off and went into deep sleep for minutes. But he wasn’t anywhere where the lights were on. He was fast asleep in the bedroom with Marc and snoring! Thought to myself hmm…he slept early. Good. all 3 are asleep, now I’ll quickly clean up the house and watch some TV.
A quick glance to the clock literally threw me off…..2:30 am!!! what?!? I dozed off for close to 4 hours! What I thought was just a few minutes, was actually hours and that too 4 hours! Wow. Now anyone in the right frame of mind, would just switch off the lights and go to bed because I need to wake up in another 2 hours. But no, I start putting Aaron’s snack box for school together, cleaning up the house, and wiping the counters clean. Hence my question on the blog title…. is it OCD??
Now if that wasn’t enough, I was analyzing my own character about OCD and suddenly decided I need to blog about it. But once its day time and with the kids awake, I rarely get to sit online. So I took my phone at past 3 am and here I am typing away to glory. Hence my 2nd question… is it weird??
If cleaning up the house at wee hours wasn’t crazy enough.. here I’m blogging about it at 3:33 am as of now!!
Good night!
Cheers people!
