My house, quiet?

Quiet!  I don't know what quiet is.  My house is bouncing at all times.  I seldom get a chance to sit now that Grandma is here.  Bob and Stacy are great helps for me, but she does keep me busy.  With a case of occasional confusion it sometimes really gets interesting.  Once she is in bed I do get a little peace.   Then there are nights like last night.  It doesn"t do any good to go to bed early because I always lose sleep anyway.  So I went to bed at 10:30.  I am exhausted and fall asleep within 15 minutes.  At 1:30 I hear someone hack.  It is the puppy.  She ran off the bed went to the gate, hacked and barfed on the floor.  Bob cleaned that up.  I tossed and turned and finally fell asleep again only to be woken by Grandma yelling from the living room for Bob to come help her.  She needed some reassurance and settled down.  Back to bed we went.  Yes, more tossing and turning.  Along comes 5:30 and once again Grandma is calling.  She is up and in the hallway.  We both jump up and run again.  Back out we go and settle her down again.  We both need sleep.  She catches cat naps but we don't.  All I have to do is sit on the couch and shut my eyes and she calls my name or the phone rings.  Help, we are sleep deprived!....
