Red. Stop. Do not go. Caution. Danger. The moment I saw that red light, I knew it was going to be a long night.

I was totally disoriented, as I had only been asleep for a little while. Just long enough to get into that deep sleep state where it could have been 23 minutes or 4.5 hours; no way to know.

But when I looked at my phone, I saw the red light. The one that turns green when it’s fully charged. Which meant I had only been in bed less than an hour. That’s when I knew it was going to be a long night.

It was 11:59 exactly when I curled up on the floor in my 3-year-old son’s room because he kept waking up, coughing, then crying. Poor guy. I then tossed and turned on his floor until morning, at which point he declared “I want to get into bed with Mama.” That makes two of us, my son. But nope, it’s time to get up and face the day. And here I am, at work, sore and tired, unable to concentrate.
