I plead insanity...

There is not a court in the world that would convict me of any wrong doing at this point. Why do I have the feeling that I am going to be revisiting every one of Michiel's antics? Let me give you a little background on this one so you understand why I am gonna duct tape him to his bed tonight. LOL

So yesterday I had surgery one my nose. Trust me, there was nothing major about having the insides of my nose burned away and getting a costly nosebleed. I have another blog ready for that experience. Anyhow, this procedure is there to open the airways so that I can breathe better and therefore sleep and all of those highly overrated things like that.

I had intended to go to bed and get the worlds most incredible night of sleep. HAHA Not in my house. Michiel, my oldest has similar sleeping problems to me. I got to bed and five minutes later I can hear him using a coat hanger to open his door. (For his safety and our sanity we have to lock him in his room at night. If only this worked) So I hear, click, click and him grouch because he dropped the hanger. Click, click and he is free! You should have seen the look on his face at this point, pure satisfaction. I tend to find various hiding places and wait until he thinks he has done his deed and jump out at him. So tonight's hiding place was behind the door in the bathroom. He looks around to see if I am going to jump out at him and right when he gets comfortable I grab him. Man, that felt soooo good. HEHE Of course he gets all mad and claims he was just going to go to the bathroom so I tell him to go ahead and I sit down on the couch to wait and see what he does. Of course he comes out of the bathroom and looks for me but with it being dark in the house he can't see me watching him. He starts to head for the kitchen when I ask him what the plan is tonight. I love to make him jump when he is getting into trouble. So now he is mad at me for catching him twice and stomps off to bed. I know my son well enough to know that this was by no means the last of his escape efforts. I decided to wait on the couch and see what he does. I can hear little noises here and there but his door stays closed. Suspicious... Waiting is no longer an option because the noises are coming from the bathroom! I open the bathroom door and he is standing there shoving a frozen waffle into his mouth! The window is open and he has obvliously climbed out his bedroom window, walked around the house and climbed in the bathroom window. Oh, all of this after sneaking into the kitchen to steal the waffles. Man, I really want to hang this kid by his toe nails. I asked him what he is doing and he looks at me trying to decide what to say. You would think that after so many years of this he would know that I can see lies from a mile away, well at least his lies anyhow. He tells me that he was bringing me a snack. Um, yea not. So, he gets the lecture about getting out of bed and the things we do when we get out of bed. He hears things like roll over and go back to sleep, come and get me if you can't sleep and the like of such. So I put him back in bed, remind him that he has just opened his window to any bad guys in the world (he jumps up and locks the window). I end up sleeping or trying to sleep on the couch and do not get more then a few hours of sleep. So today I walk around being tired and grumpy and in a major flair. Thank you Michiel.

I am telling you right now, if I ever snap on that kid no jury in the world would convict me.
