Friday, November 26, 2010She Still Woke Up at 6:30.
I often joke that I gave birth to a zombie or a robot or some sort of freak of nature, and here's the proof:
That photo was taken in our hotel at 1:41am after a six-hour drive from Pittsburgh to Indianapolis on Wednesday night. Alexis stayed awake for the entire drive. THE ENTIRE DRIVE. Not only that, but she had been awake since 6:30 Wednesday morning, and before that I had chased her back to bed at 3:42 in the morning when I caught her wide awake in her room packing all of her stuffed animals for the trip. She wasn't planning on taking underwear on the trip, just stuffed animals. All of them. Apparently that makes sense to a person who is able to function on five hours of sleep.
How is it that a human being can find so little joy in sleep? She *must* be a robot.
