Mmmpppfff.

Scene: Our bedroom. 5:45 a.m.

Zoey: Mommy? I need the big bed. My bed is all wet!

Me: Mmmphff.

Zoey: Mommy! My jammies! All wet!

Me: Mmmmm....

Zoey: I need hot milk! And my kitty cat blankie! And new jammies!

Me: Too early to be so bossy, Zoey. Go away.

Zoey: No! Mommy! GET UP!

And so my Sunday morning is off to a smashing great start. I managed to get Zoey changed, and played the role of servant to all her bossy demands, and back in to the "big bed" where we pretended to sleep for another hour. At 6:45 I gave up and dragged my tired butt out of bed to strip down Zoey's sheets, blankets, duvet cover, mattress pad...how does one tiny bladder produce enough urine to soak through so many layers??

And so, at the moment, I am incredibly thankful for the following:

1. Coffee.

2. Hazelnut creamer.

3. Episodes of Olivia and The Berenstein Bears On Demand.

Maybe we'll both get a nap today....
