History was made twice this week. First, on Tuesday, Barack Obama was elected president. Then, on Sunday, we shattered the record for sleeping in at SuburbanDaddy’s house and slept until 7:04am. Who said lightning doesn’t strike twice?
I can’t understate how incredible this is. All of the Things slept past 7 o’clock. Even more important, I slept until 7am. No exaggeration, this was probably the first time I have slept past 7 since we brought Thing 1 home from the hospital nearly 5 years ago.
I’m normally happy if I get to sleep past 6am. So this wasn’t just a new record, we shattered the previous record by nearly an hour. This was like Michael Phelps winning 8 gold medals. Joe Dimaggio’s 56 game hit streak. Wilt Chamberlain scoring 100 points in a game.
And, just like we aren’t likely to see anyone approach those milestones anytime soon, I am not likely to sleep in until 7am again for a long, long time. Yes, I’m counting down those minutes until 5:15 tomorrow morning. Sweet dreams.

Dude, how late did you have to stay up to get them to sleep that late?

Big congrats. I don’t want to burst your bubble so I won’t tell you what time our two year old slept until. He’s like a teen.

At least you slept until 7 a.m. I have a tendency to still be awake at six, even though my 16-month-old now sleeps until 7 or even 7:30.
Nothing like laying in bed on a Saturday morning wake awake, while you hear snoring in the baby’s room!
