[Dailydrool] Sleep deprived

[sally king]

I have been off work with the dreaded winter lurgey, one that has pretty much kept me in bed. And the houndies have responded by waking me at 5am every morning.
Friday I was woken by the sound of Clara being sick. By the time the information had filtered into my brain and I'd got out of bed she had also lost control the other end. Poor girl.
Saturday I was woken by Rolph winging. He does this sometimes when he is feeling insecure. All he needs is a quick pat and ear scratch and he goes back to sleep. Except he didn't. 
After 10 mins I decided he needed to go out. I dragged myself downstairs and opened the French windows. Clara shot out like she'd had her legs crossed all night and Rolph looked at me like "You want me to go out there?". Well, it was snowing.
Sunday was a joint effort.
Monday Rolph did it again. Whine, whine, whine, whinge, whinge whinge. I thought "I'm not playing that game again". So I stayed put. Whine, whine, whine, whinge, whinge whinge. Eventually, he woke Clara up and she jumped up on my bed. Rolph immediately shot to the end of my bed and I heard him scratching his bed, before collapsing into a deep sleep.
Quite obviously all that noise had been "Mum, she's on my bed. I want my bed. Tell her to get off my bed. Mum I can't sleep, I'm not comfy . . . ."
This morning he woke me at 4.15am . . . . .

Sally, with ROlph and CLara, UK
