Need me to do something? Call me when I'm sleeping and I'll do whatever you ask.
Why would I?
1) Because I'm incoherent.
2) I want to get back to my dream with Liev Schrieber (sorry Naomi, he's just too super cute).
The problem with this is, I suffer the dire consequences in the morning.
Story:
I have an engagement set for this weekend with Person A (protecting the innocent). We've found that we believe in very similar things.... I"m super excited. And Sydney is super sweet to Person A's child.
Yesterday I was super tired... I went to bed at 7pm... right after I put Ethan down. At 10 pm the phone rings and here's my recollection of the first exchanges:
"WHA, Hello??" I yell into the phone in my sleepy husky voice I use when I want to convey how tired I am.
"Lynn, Are you sleeping? It's Person B (Person A's mom). It's only 10pm." She tells me.
"WHA? What's RRRROOONNGGGG??? Is something the matter???" In my sleepy husky voice.
"No... I just heard that you and Person A are having an engagement."
"Ummm... right, yes...." I manage to putter.
She continues on about how she's been having scheduling issues getting pictures taken of her family and she wants Person A there but it's co-inciding with our engagement.
I ask very sweetly, "Do you want me to cancel our playdate?" I very honestly would have, pictures are highly important to me. You can see that when you walk into my house ;-)
"No, I just want to know when your date is and want you to come to the pictures too! Wouldn't that be great??? You could have a nice surprise for your hubby!" she responds.
I ask, "When are your pictures?" 11am. "I can't speak for Person A, but the timing sounds fine. And this won't be a surpise for Nathan... he's sleeping right next to me."
Person B is elated..."Ok Great! Well, Why don't YOU talk to Person A and get back to me."
I agree (note I prefaced this story with "I just want to go back to sleep."). "Don't worry, I'll talk to her tomorrow." What did I just agree to?? Did I also agree to mow her lawn? (I have never touched a mower, so this would be a stretch)
"Bye." "Bye."
Moral of my story:
Like I said, if you need me to do anything, call me in the dead of night and I'd go slay your worst dragon - without a sword too!
