I Think There Is a Conspiracy Around Here!

We seemed to have developed a routine around here that I'm not too sure I'm happy about. It's a given the girls have Tom wrapped around their paws and all three have "MOM" here wrapped........

Well, here's the story:

Just before we got Lilly, Tom decided that Mag had to sleep with us all night because she wanted to. She use to lay with us till we turned the TV off. Than that was her cue to get down. But as she noticed a change in Tom, she wants to be beside him all night. It bugged him waking up at night and she is sitting there looking at him. So he let her on the bed, she'd stretch out and we'd both be hanging out the sides.

So Tom's solution was to add on to our queen bed. We added a twin. So when the TV went off she had to move over to her part of the bed. But at night she would slowly creep to our side, trying to get close to Tom and I'd get squished like a sandwich. And nobody was on the add- on bed.

Than came Lilly. She was barely 5 weeks old. Our solution for her was just put her in our bed too. So she slept on my pillow with me. She'd wake up and cry and I'd get up , put her out side, she went pee, we went back to bed , and so on...all night. As she got bigger she still stayed at the top of the bed roaming from one pillow to another. Many times I'd wake to a fur halo over my head or Tom would have a fur collar.

But than she got really big. She roamed and flopped all over the bed all night. But to this day has never gotten down unless I get up. But this drives Maggie crazy. So Mom sleeps with Lilly on the add-on bed and Mag sleeps by her dad. If I try to sleep by him, Mag gets down and cries and whines till I move over and let her have the spot by him. I give up. "Can't we all just get along?" : )

So now the new routine they have started.

At around seven or so, like clock work. Lilly starts flopping all over me. Flop, stretch, yawn...... Than she "sneezes." Mag lifts her head. Lilly sees Mag lift her head and Lilly gets up, stretches. Mag jumps down off the bed, Lilly licks my face, steps over or on top of me to get over to her dad, Really gives him the wake up kisses and hugs. He goes off like a siren.......LLLLLILLLLY..... ................. MOM!!!!! ................ I get up because it's the only way Lilly will let up on Tom, and he won't stop hollering till she quits.

Sooooo why am I up? Maggie goes to the kitchen and lays down, and looks at me like what's for breakfast MOM? I do let Lilly out to go pee and than she crawls back in bed with her Dad and Dad get's coffee in bed.

Hmmmmm and he giggled when I read this to him. I think I've been had. : )
