Poker madness = sleep depervation

Last last time I remember being this sleep deprived I think Katy was an infant.

For the past three nights Mike has played poker until the wee, and I mean wee, small hours of the morning. Of course, Mike is not a quiet poker player. So, if he is downstairs I get waken up to thump, thump thump to his hand hitting the granite when he loses a hand.

If he is playing upstairs in the office I hear the wonderful string of profanity along with a loud "you have got to be kidding" when he loses a hand. Or the computer mouse being slammed down (Mike went ahead an bought several last time he broke one) on the desk.

Believe me -- I think I would rather be awaken by an infant then a mad poker player. Maybe it would not be so bad if Mike was making lots of money (and I could buy new clothes) but it just seems to be the same $500 getting won and lost, won and lost over and over again.

On top of this -- Mike and I work opposite from each other. On two nights a week it is sometime 2:30 am before he gets home from work-- which usually wakes me up. And I being the Mommy of the house I have to be up by 7:00 am to make sure everyone is up and off to camp and I am at work.

And too add onto this it is just harder for me to sleep some nights. I wake up thinking up Emily, Ashleigh and Noah. Or silly worrying about my kids.

YAWN !! I need just one night of solid non-interrupted sleep very soon. Or I may just have to disable the internet in the house so there can be no online poker. :)
