Last night I had the worst night’s sleep I can remember having in a long time. Really, it’s inaccurate even to call it “sleep” — rather, it was hours upon hours of tossing and turning, broken up by intermittent catnaps. Making it worse, Tage had fallen asleep at eight o’clock in the evening and stayed asleep all the way through to morning for perhaps the first time in his life, which meant that he was bright-eyed and bushy-tailed after Lydia left for school, when all I wanted to do was go back to bed.<\/p>\n
The sleeplessness was likely due to the fact that we rearranged our bedroom furniture yesterday and our bed is no longer where it’s been since we moved into this house nearly three years ago. Lydia likes to “re-decorate” her bedroom and move everything around every six weeks or so, but that’s something she obviously didn’t get from me — I think that if Olof hadn’t gotten all fired up to move our bed yesterday, I would happily have left it where it was for years and years to come (even though I do have to admit that it’s better where it is now).<\/p>\n
After Olof performed the heavy task of moving the bed, I set about cleaning the room, a chore that took an embarrassingly long time to complete given that it’s the bedroom of two adults who should be able to maintain a relatively tidy space. As I know I’ve mentioned before, Olof and I are a very bad match when it comes to housekeeping. I find myself wishing on a near-daily basis that one or the other of us were a neat freak, but so far that wish hasn’t come true.<\/p>\n
Lucky for me, though, the two of us are a very good match in most other areas, including his understanding of my very real need for sleep and lots of it. After lunch he took over Tage duty for a couple of hours and let me take a long nap. To thank him, I later took the not-inconsiderable risk of whipping up a batch of the infamous pizza dough<\/a> so that we could have a tasty dinner. In case anyone is wondering, I did manage to come away unscathed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Last night I had the worst night’s sleep I can remember having in a long time.
