Spoke Too Soon

Last night Fiona left Moe alone. She did this because I told her she would have to pay Moe $1 every night that she went in and woke her up. This from her large stash of cash that she has been earning through medical procedures. That didn't sit well, she was rather bitter when she apologized to Moe and explained the new deal. So, last night she came into our room. That's right, she knew that under the terms of the deal she only had to stay out of Moe's room. This kid is way too smart for her own good. TD is such a softhearted dad that he is always looking for a way to excuse her behavior. He believes her when she says she is scared. I know that about 6 weeks ago she did have a few nightmare filled nights which I am totally sympathetic about. But after that, she just got used to waking up around 3am and looking for someone to hang out with using the nightmares as an excuse. TD hasn't spent years of his life doing nothing but watching her and can't read her as well as I can. That and she is an amazing actress.
She started melting down this afternoon complaining about a dinner she normally likes to eat. We were sure she was just tired from all of the night wandering she has been doing. TD put her to bed at 7pm and when I went to check on her, half an hour later, she is already asleep. Hopefully she stays that way the entire night and doesn't use the extra sleep to wake up really early tomorrow, say 5ish. Ugh. I thought once they weren't babies any more you wouldn't have to worry about their sleep.
We are off to the doc tomorrow to hopefully get her staples removed. They told us 7-10 days and it will be 10 tomorrow. We figured a few extra days would be a good thing. I wonder how much I will end up paying her for the pain and suffering tomorrow. She hasn't done this before so she's pretty anxious. Maybe I should start asking for donations....probably give her the wrong idea. Like she needs any more excuses for wild behavior.
