Midnight Acrobatics

midnight acrobatics: I wake up to go to the bathroom. First I have to move Gizmo who has me pinned under the blanket (this must be done carefully as if you move him when he is asleep he turns into the Tasmanian devil), put my foot down to feel Sadie, who wont wake up. Step over her only to find Pete blocking the bathroom, he refuses to move so I have to step between his legs and try not to lose my balance. Hit the bathroom and there is a puddle that sends me skidding to the s...tool. Sit down, damn, that puddle was from Pete drinking from the toilet, I know this as my bottom is now soaking wet from the water he left on the seat. Get ready to get up only to find Lucy (our new kitten) has crawled up the pant leg and is sitting in my undies. Move her, mop up the water on the seat and floor, and take the course in reverse. Then, I couldn't fall back to sleep! It is a jungle around here.

Had all my kiddos this weekend. (that is all five of my grands) Worn out!!! Rylan and Ava Beth were arguing over something. He finally let her have it. Little bit later he came in with me and I told him that was a really nice thing he did. Then I gave him a dollar to save up and buy him whatever it was they were fighting about. Little while later he comes in and asks why I always give him one dollar. I said, I don't know, what do you want. He says, a 5 or 10 dollar bill would work. Or a 20, twenty's are always good. lol he has it figured out at 5
