I had a difficult time sleeping last night due to a horrible headache and it still lingered this morning. Munchkin decided to wake up early this morning. I slowly climbed out of bed and made her some breakfast. I put on a movie for her to watch (I know bad mommy….), took some Tylenol, and went back to bed. She tried to let me sleep; she really did. But, it wasn’t meant to be. Alas, I…
