Little Sneaker

Of late Loki has been awakening me at 12-1 a.m. for food.

You would think that I would be able to ignore the little bugger but he has a very loud cry.

Add to that Lucky taught him all about scratching under the bed.

Last night was no different.

The threat of death did not quieten him.

I stumbled into the kitchen and squinted in the fridge looking for the cat food.

After feeding him my bladder makes itself known so I decide bathroom and back to bed.

I thought that I heard something but no all was quiet.

I was stood at the door hand on the light switch when I looked up.

And saw T coming out of his room.

I screamed.

Loud.

T (comes up to me and puts his arm around me): Mom I even told you I was awake.

Me: I did not hear you. And if you were still awake why the hell did you let Loki cry until I got up and fed him?

T: I’m getting a melatonin and something to eat.

He laughed.

I laughed.

I crawled into bed and fell asleep in no time.

T who knows what time he went to sleep at.

This morning I had to wake him up and send him out the door to meet his dad across the street.

Because construction.
