Wake Me Up Again

Last night, Carol woke me up. She woke me up feeling sick and dizzy. "Addi, Addi, ADDI!!" She said shaking me awake. "What is it?" I said. "I don't feel good." She said. I sat up and placed her on my lap. I rocked her for a bit. Then, she got up and said she was hot. I got her into a Pull-Up (which she wears at night time) and a blue flowery tank top that she had from last summer. She was hungry so I turned on the light in the hall to get her a yogurt. Carol quickly covered her eyes. I dimmed down the lights a bit. "What's the matter?" I asked. "Too bright!!" She complained. I picked her up and went up to get yogurt. I placed her on the counter, handed her a blueberry yogurt and then sat down on a chair. "Hurry" I said, "I have stuff to do tomorrow, and I can't be late." Carol hurried and finished the yogurt. I took her hand and led her downstairs. The minute we got down, Carol complained again. "I have to pee!!!" She said holding it in, jumping around like she's had to go for hours. "You're kidding me?" I said looking down at her. She shook her head. "Ughh!" I said picking her up and taking her upstairs. She went to the bathroom and then came back down. I layed her in bed and went to bed myself. After about five minutes, she began kicking around. "Go to bed" I said exhausted. "But I'm bored." She said, acting like I wouldn't be mad at her. I immediately sat up and grabbed her shoulders, angrily. "Stop that right now, missy. Now you listen to me. I have stuff to do tomorrow and I need to get sleep. It's 3:00am so you need to behave right now. You got it?" I said really madly. Carol nodded, scared. "Don't take it the wrong way, Carol. I just need sleep, okay?" I said sweetly. She turned and went to sleep without answering.

That night, I had enough of dealing with her waking me up. Normally, I didn't. She never made that much of a fuss. I feel pretty bad now. She's upset today, and I think that's why. I'm going to have to apologize to my baby. I feel awful! Well, that's it. She woke me up again.
