Slept in Heavenly Peace

...or something like that. I typically do not sleep well anymore. I wake multiple times a night uncomfortable. I rarely feel rested in the morning. I'm sure a new mattress would do wonders- especially that one that doesn't transmit movement across the bed, but for now I make do with what we have. Last night started out lousy... Miles has decided that he can't go to sleep unless he is watching March of the Penguins (or Baby Birds, as he calls it). Some nights it acts as a tranquillizer and puts him to sleep; other nights, like last night, it is a stimulant. I hit the "I've had it point" and shut the movie off. Miles decided to wail about it. Before he could get the tantrum in full swing, Dan called and that distracted Miles. He wanted to hold the phone so I put it on speaker and gave Miles possession of the phone. Within a few minutes, Miles was lulled to sleep by the sound of his Daddy's voice! After the phone call, I watched the news, read a book, then went to sleep. Did I mention that I put brand new sheets on the bed? These sheets are amazing... 1,500 thread count Egyptian cotton. They feel heavenly. They stay "straight" on the bed and I hate wrinkled/creased sheets (which is one cause of my lousy sleeping). They have more weight to them instead of cheap-o flimsy so they feel good on my skin. I slept amazing under and on my new sheets. I'm looking forward to a repeat of last night's sleep!

By the way, Miles' new favorite words to say are "sun", "sky", and "rainbow".
