1. Rearrange your shoes by color coordination and how often you wear them
2, Go through your underwear drawer and fold them then arrange them by color, type, size, and how often you wear them (because if you are like me you have a few pairs that are larger then your regular ones for that time of the month.) While you are at it toss out any that you don't wear anymore.
3. Two words, Drink Coffee. If you arn't a coffee drinker now is a good time to start.
4. Buy ear plugs. For those nights that your toddler is just screaming his or her head off ear plug will save your ear drums.
5. Learn to knit or crochet, this is great because you can make something productive while the kid refuses to sleep. Think along the lines of a gag...
6. Learn a second language, that way you can yell at the kids later in the second language and confuse the hell out of them.
7. Go through your kitchen and rearrange everything, organize your spices, throw out all that tupperware that you can't find the lids to or can find lids but not the container.
8. Rearrange your pantry into alphabetical order, then when you next cook and have the kid crammed up your ass you can use this as a learning tool.
9. Learn how to sleep walk, or should I say relearn. You remember those early days you felt like you were asleep on your feet and you were able to make it through. This would be a good time to remember how to do that.
10. All those shows that have been piling up on your DVR now would be a great time to watch them.
11. Read a book, that is if the kid allows this, check with your little boss before you attempt this because I tried and my kid kept taking my book away.
12. Duct Tape... Just saying this could be of use in securing the kid to their bed so that you can get a little shut eye you will need the ear plugs so that you don't hear them scream. (note to reader I would never really do this)
So there you have it my top 12 things to do when your kid wont sleep.
