The Trouble with Not Sleeping enough

It is suspected that a Beauty-Sleep was overcoming the Princess that might explain the sudden rush of activity and the accompanying sense of urgency.

For starters, the Princess decided to decorate the floor in increasing circles of "rose petals" in the shape of soda crackers. They are so fun to jump on and smoosh, too, with a satisfying crackle. While the two attendents were called upon to gather these "petals" quickly, more were spread with such an enjoyable giggle, that we have to conclude there was some forethought and purpose to the Princesses actions. This is a sobering thought throughout the castle.

As the Petal Containment was achieved and all supposed order was restored, there was a surprised hollar down the hall towards the children's quarters! Having worked up a real thirst, the Princess had found her favorite sweet nectar... "Jooos!" and having wetted her tongue, spread the joy down the afore-mentioned hallway! She spread the red tinted joy to the left and to the right so that it dripped luxuriously down the wall and puddled on the polished floors. The outcry had arisen when she entered her brothers' suite still drizzling beloved Jooos.

The entire Royal Day was notably exhausting as our sweet Princess jumped and danced and grabbed other people's treasures and ran (even the King was not imune to her attentions!). She refused to rest come evening, even after reading books to beloved puppies and bears. Not even organization of her audience would tempt her to pause long enough for sweet sleep to overtake her. That is how we all came to the conclusion that it was a "Beauty-Sleep", which, as everyone knows, is a specific sleep that Princesses both dread and require. Since Sleeping Beauty, herself, was under such a deep sleep for so long, Princesses everywhere are very suspicious and relunctant to submit, perhaps in fear of enchantment. It was a very late hour when the Castle quieted enough to allow rest for all who call it "home."
