Woke up at 5am this morning, credit to my little Binbin. In fact he almost made me screamed. I opened my sleepy eyes and I saw him sat crossed-legged with his eyes wide-opened staring at me. How scary is that?!

“Binbin, what’s wrong?” I questioned.

Without making a sound, he dropped his body beside mine, hug me like a big bolster, slapped his own buttocks a couple of times with his small palm…it was a signal for me to ‘pat-pat’ him to sleep.

And so I did. But it took longer than it usually does. He couldn’t really get back to dreamland till an hour later, which was 6am!

By then I was wide awake. Tossing and turning a little, ‘cos there isn’t much space left with Allan, Binbin and I on the queen size bed, for the next hour till 7am, whereby it was time to wake up my Keatkeat for school.

When I was back from the school drop off mission, I was too awake to get back to sleep. So I blog hopped a little in my sis room (my PC is in my sis room) while she prepared herself for work.

I told her what happened and she said (in mandarin): “Zuo Ma-Mee De, Zhen Ke Lian” (direct translation – “being a mommy, its pitiful”) and I replied: “Welcome to Motherhood!”

It was a long day and Allan had been out practically the entire afternoon, so I don’t have my right-hand-man to help me for an hour or two while I nap.

My eye-lids weigh like tonnes now and toothpicks are badly needed to keep them up…hope it doesn’t happen again tonight or rather the next morning at 5am….*Yawn*…Zzzzzzzzzzzz
