Sleep is for the weak

Zander's shirt says it all:

I was so tired last night but still forced my own self to do some work.  By 10 pm I was just too tired to concentrate and decided to call it a night.  I fell asleep almost immediately.  At 11 pm the phone rings.  I nearly had heart failure! It's the security company of our brand new alarm system, that wants us to plug the alarm in.  Now let me recap first.  They installed it on Monday and by last night we were still waiting for someone to explain the thing to us.  So I told the lady that it is plugged in (as it was).  She goes "oh, ok" and puts the phone down.  I go right back to sleep.

At 2 am we get woken up by Jason who had wet his bed.  He even brought clean pj's with.  Tommie got him dressed up and put him in bed.   Zander wakes up to nurse and we are back to sleep.

At 4 am the darn alarm starts beeping.  Beeping.   Beeping.   Beeping.  At 4:20 am and just bbbeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeps.  We phone the alarm company, who tells us to phone one of their technicians.  We wake the guy up and he gives us this list of things to do that doesn't work.  The alarm is still beeping in our ears.  Thankfully the sirens didn't go off, so at least our neighbours could sleep in peace.  After about 10 minutes on the phone, the technician tells us to pull it out of the wall and cut the red wire. Uhm...ok.  We do and it shuts up.  By 5 am we try to sleep again.   5:30 am Tommie puts on the TV and 6 am Tommie's phone alarm goes off.

So yes, even though it's believed that "sleep is for the weak", the strong still has to sleep.
