So many early mornings, that is the question.

Here’s a parent dilemma I hope other manMoms, regular moms and dads can relate to.

I am lying in bed, awake. I am trying to go back to sleep, but there is an acute discomfort I am fighting. It is my bladder, bursting at the seems, begging for relief. In the long run, it will be good for me to listen. But in the short run, this morning, I have my reasons for staying put.

See, it is early. Not really early, because then there would be no problem. It just a little bit earlier then the time the kids usually wake up. Or, the time I would like them to. Right now, they sleep soundly. But also, I know, lightly. If I am to leave this comfortable haven and creep the 15 feet to the bathroom between my room and theirs, the creaking floors will surely give me away even if my creaking bones do not. If I go to the bathroom now, they wake up. And they are now going back to sleep.

If I pee, the day begins.

And so I lie there, in bed, in pain, in thought. And of course I don’t sleep anyways. In the light of reason here with my words I can see I should just make a break for it. Take my chances. But in the morning haze, decisions aren’t so clear. And so I lie there.

To pee, or not to pee. That is the question. So many mornings.

Sorry bladder.
