Mornings on the weekends

I love Sat. mornings! Sleeping in, not having to get up to go to work, being lazy all day. Oh yeah....I have kids now! Yes that was more like mornings in College. I have spent almost 7 years teaching Maya about sleeping in on Sat. mornings, and she is getting quit an appreciation for it. And then Meredith came along. Not only does she get up happy and ready to go, she gets up earlier than she would if we were getting up on a week day. Something is clearly wrong with that child! So, when Maya is home, she will wake up her sister first thing, and then we figure we have at least 1 more hour of sleep before they get board and hungry. But since Maya has not been home, Sat. morning sleep in does not happen. That inspires the Sat. morning fight.... who is going to get up with her. That is always fun, you know that the other one is awake, but they are being very still so that other will get up first. She learned early how to get past that. She will get up in the bed and put her hands on your checks squooshing them and saying "Get up Mommy, Get up!" Or whomever's side of the bed she gets up on. This morning was very amusing. I have been sleeping in Maya's bed because of the many fans that Matt insists on having on in our bedroom. And this morning she come and does her morning squooshing because she is hungry. So I kindly told her to go get daddy. (LOL!) She came back in about five min. Clearly Matt told her to do the same thing. Since playing Meredith ping pong is not her favorite past time, I got up before it got ugly. I got her the banana and the rasins, watched as she ate the banana, and then packed her off back to her room with the box of rasins so I could go back to bed, and she could play. (she shares a room with Maya). I was almost asleep when I heard oh.... and I feel this hard bam on my head. It is half of the dust buster. I looked up, and half of it was on the floor, the other half was in my bed, and rasins where all over the floor. It serves me right. So we get that all settled. I am almost asleep again when I hear oh and spilling liquid. She brought in her water and decided to poor it down the air vent! Again, serves me right. I guess at this point I have figured out that I only think I am almost asleep, but I guess I am in and out, enough that I have missed the fact that my daughter has left the room twice. So now she gets in bed with me, and brings her baby and stuff (which is a small plastic basket full of nice little things). So here is a visual, Me, 5'10", Meredith small, and baby chu chu, and the mass amounts of things that this baby needs, and the pillows, we are now up to 3, and blankets, we are up to three all in the small little twin bed. And I am going to go back to sleep!This time I am asleep for maybe 15 or 20 min when Matt comes in and says, "are you going to sleep all day?" Are you kidding me? Ahh Sat. mornings! :)
