Cock-A-Doodle-Do

Sam woke up at 3:40 this morning to watch "Bob the Beel-dor" .... He woke up Jay and Meg to watch it too. Sam loves to share! Mommy wants to trade Sam in for a new model right now.

3:40 AM, Sam: "Jay, Meggie .... wake up. Bob the Beel-dor is on TV"

3:41 AM: Jay is standing in Mommy's room with a pillow and blankie.

3:50 AM: Jay is back in his own bed, but Jay is not a happy camper.

3:51 AM: Meg is in recliner with blankie whimpering.

3:55 AM: Sam is sitting up in bed with forty-seven stuffed animals, six pillows, nine blankies, a tractor, two cars, a book, a little back-hoe in hand and a sippy cup of water. Sam is content. He's watching his favorite movie. Bob the Beel-dor!

4:05 AM: Mommy is shushing everyone.

4:10 AM: Daddy is getting ready to go milk cows.

4:11 AM: Everyone is crying because Daddy is leaving.

4:12 AM: Daddy is giving everyone a "high-five" before he leaves.

4:12 AM: Mommy is about to have a meltdown.

4:15 AM: Jay and Meggie ARE having meltdowns.

4:20 AM: Daddy leaves to go milk cows and leaves Mommy to deal with with total chaos in the middle of the night. (Mommy begged Daddy to trade her places, but Daddy just grinned and gave Mommy the cheesy evil eye) Mommy really couldn't milk a cow, and Daddy really doesn't like Bob the Beel-dor.

4:30 AM: Sam is sitting in his bed with forty-seven stuffed animals, six pillows, nine blankies, a tractor, two cars, a book, a little backhoe in hand, a sippy cup of water and is picking his nose. Sam is content. Sam is watching his favorite movie Bob the Beel-dor. He does ask to turn up the sound so he can hear his Bob over the wails of his siblings. But, Sam is happy.

4:45 AM: It's not pretty right now on The Dairy Farm. (Mommy is still contemplating a meltdown too)

5:00 AM: Sam, Jay, Meg and Mommy are trudging down the stairs to go potty. (Mommy is so sleepy)

5:10 AM: Mommy is peeling an apple and dividing it perfectly evenly into three little bowls. Mommy has to make sure no one has more than the other one and all the little apple pieces are the same size. (Mommy thinks Jay is obsessed). Mommy then puts seven animals crackers into three little baggies and zips them all up.

5:30 AM: Sam, Jay and Meg are sitting in their beds eating apples and animals crackers.

5:45 AM: Mommy is stretched back in the recliner, and all covered up, with her feet propped up so a mouse doesn't bite her toes. (Did someone see a mouse?)

5:55 AM: Jay is peeking over the edge of his bed looking for the mouse, and Meg has her head covered up so the mouse can't see her. (Mommy should be ashamed of herself, but she's not)

6:10 AM: Jay and Meggie are asleep. (finally)

6:15 AM: Sam is sitting in the middle of his bed, wide eyed, with forty-seven stuffed animals, six pillows, nine blankies, a tractor, two cars, a book, a little backhoe in his hand, a sippy cup of water, a full baggie of animal crackers (he swiped Jay's and Meg's) and is perfectly content. Sam is watching Bob the Beel-dor. Sam loves Bob, and Sam is very happy.

6:20 AM: Mommy just had to come tell all you nice people about Bob the Beel-dor, and now Mommy is going back to bed. Mommy knows that Sam is going to be a very cranky little boy today and she needs a good nap!

Be Blessed Everyone and Have a Great Day!
