I couldn't sleep...

When I got up this morning I headed downstairs to let the dog outside as I always do. I noticed Lady Bug's bedroom door was wide open (we usually leave it open just a crack) so I looked inside and she was not in her bed. When I got downstairs I went ahead and let the dog outside and then started looking for Lady Bug. She was asleep in the family room on the couch, all curled up under a blanket.

I did my regular morning routine of coffee, a little reading and then up to take a shower. After I was dressed and had my hair dried, I headed back downstairs...this time I noticed a stack of books and a blanket in the living room.

Lady Bug still wasn't awake, but I could tell these books came from her room. We are talking about a stack of books of probably 15-20 books and I knew they were not on that couch when I went to bed last night. After she got up I asked her about the books.

Me: "Did you put these books here?"

Lady Bug: "Yes. Because I couldn't sleep last night so I decided to get up and read."

Me (standing with my jaw hanging open): "Did you go to sleep and then wake up later and decide to come down?"

Lady Bug: "No. I just couldn't go to sleep so I brought books down to read and then I got a blanket to cover up with because my feet were cold."

She was extremely tired when we put her to bed last night so I find it hard to believe that she didn't go to sleep before reading. What freaks me out is that neither Mr. Man or I heard her get up. She clearly had to make more than one trip to the couch with all those books. One day last week she did this to us, where she got up about 5:00 am and moved to the couch to go back to sleep. I am just wondering how many other times she has done stuff like this and we slept right through it? Mr. Man is generally a very light sleeper and hears everything.... I said generally!

Makes me go "hmmmmmmmm!" Good thing we have a dead bolt on the front door that she can't unlock!
