What do you get when. . .

Your husband can't sleep, and instead flops around like a beached whale, snores like a foghorn, and wakes the baby up at six o'clock on a holiday?

Answer: shafted.

I figured I was awake anyway, due to sleeping next to the beached foghorn, so I might as well get up with her. Besides, I'll need the sleep-in time much more tomorrow, after the Friday-night game, and letting Piet sleep in today means I should be able to bargain for right of first sleep-in tomorrow.

She's quietly dozing on my lap. Why couldn't she have quietly dozed in her crib?

Hey. Why d'ye think cats prefer being draped over a human?
They can sense the warmth and gurgling, rhythmic sounds of a fellow living creature.

And you're her mama. That's what mamas are for!

I know. It just makes my shoulders hurt. She's no featherweight anymore - she's at 28 pounds, and she's thirty-four inches long. That's a lot of toddler to be draped over one, 5'2" woman.
