Dazed and Confused

So I'm sitting here staring at the computer tonight around 11:00 PM because I feel like crap and have no life, when suddenly I hear footsteps rushing up the stairs. It must be Riley; I wait for him to come in and tell me he can't sleep but he never surfaces.

Just when I think it's time to go see what he's up to, I hear Riley rushing through the kitchen. It seemed like he was in a hurry to get somewhere when the next thing I hear is the door to the garage opening. I holler out for him, thinking he must be looking for me, but no answer. "Fine... I'd better go see what my little guy is up to," I think.

I head to the garage and Riley is nowhere to be seen. I yell for him again and I hear him scurrying around behind the car. I peak around the van just in time to yell, "Riley, wake up! You're in the garage, not the bathroom!" He was dead asleep, standing at the ready over the toy box full of basketballs and baseballs.

I'm pretty sure I wasn't too late but I'm not going to bother going out there tonight to find out...

So, you have a sleep walker! Anyone else in your house sleep walk?
Good thing you were still up. Donata

Yep! My Shannon will sometimes do the exact same thing, and my sister Shannon is a sleep walker and sleep eater.

I just carry on conversations in my sleep!

Shannon and Colleen would talk to each other in their sleep when they were little. It was funny to go in and engage them in coversations. Sometimes, if the night was right, you could get them mad at each other in their sleep. Me being the big sister, would do this on purpose!

Spencer did his deed once in his sleep at Colleen's house. Ken's golf shoes have never been the same since.

It might just be her house!

Nah, not just my house. My Shannon also hit mom's toy box in the living room one night while we were visiting...

I was going to tell the story about your Shannon and my toy box, but you beat me to it.

I was going to tell about you and Shannon talking to each other in your sleep, but Kellie beat me to that one.

Kids!

Oh, no! It's rubbing off onto the neighbors! (Did they sleepwalk during the sleepover?)
