Why never at 8 a.m.? Or, how about noon, when they are at school? I wish they could try for mid-afternoon.
WHY do my Heathens only feel the need to VOMIT around 3 a.m.?
Monday morning, it was Heathen #3. The Asst. Zookeeper's alarm sounded at 3 a.m. and he headed out the door for work. As I hear the front door shut, Heathen #3 comes around the corner of my bedroom. "Where's Daddy going?" "To work." "Oh, good." And he crawled over top of me to get to his father's side of the bed. About 10 minutes later, he sat straight up and yelled "I'm gonna be sick!"
After about 6 hours of him dragging around "the bucket," he was just fine.
I caught up on the missed sleep and the other two Heathens were healthy. YES! I'd dodged a bullet!
This morning, it was Heathen #2. He, however, managed to wake up the entire house. He goes running past my bedroom door screaming MOM at the top of his lungs. Once I got him taken care of and tucked into bed with me, Heathen #3 comes around the corner.
Heathen #3 has an issue with my bed. He thinks that the only two people allowed in it are him and me. The Asst. Zookeeper is only considered "good" if he's at work and Heathen #3 can invade the bed. Once he saw that Heathen #2 was tucked up, he suddenly had a "scary dream" and had to crawl in as well.
Really, is it too much to ask for these events to take place during normal waking hours?
