Part 1
Janet finished washing the last couple plates from dinner with a large yawn.
“Wow I didn’t used to be this tired. This having kids thing must have really caught up with me...quickly too.” Janet said to her husband who was sitting in the other room. She didn’t think he could even hear because the television volume was cranked pretty high for the hockey game.
She walked over to his side, checked the score of the game and decided she was going to sit and watch a little bit of it. She knew that sooner or later, Dylan, Lucy and Robin would be calling for her help with some homework issue. She just needed a little time for herself.
“Who’s playing?” She asked her husband who had his face pressed to the tv.
“Uhh..umm well Detroit is playing Minneapolis. That’s all you need to know really.. AH DARN, they just scored! Well this game’s over..” Her husband grabbed the remote and immediately shut off the tv. It was one of his wishes to see his team go for the Cup, but that was all gone now.
Janet, realizing her husband was in the worst mood possible right now, moved to the love seat closest to the window and picked a book off the coffee table.
“I’m just going to read this for a while. If you want to talk about your day let me know.” Janet quietly escaped from her husband’s stressful situation and turned open the book..

“Honey! Janet! Are you there? Haha did you fall asleep on the couch?” Janet woke up to the sound of her husband’s voice from the couch he was sitting on. “Janet, maybe you should just go to sleep now. I will check on the kids. You just went out cold in a matter of five minutes!!”
Janet was shocked to hear that she was only sleeping for five minutes because it felt like three to four hours of restful sleep.
“Wow sorry about that. I don’t know what’s gotten into me… Maybe I should just go to bed. See you tomorrow morning.”
Janet sleep walked up the stairs and passed out into her king sized bed. She felt cold and weak all of a sudden so she reached for extra blankets to keep her warm.
