Lazy days

I love weekends.  I love lazing around in bed (not sleeping, since the Curly Girlies think the term "sleeping in" refers only to a bed or sleeping bag i.e.: "I am sleeping in a bed tonight".), playing on my iPad and being cuddled by O, my "very sweet only to me" cat.  Every weekend I'm hopeful this will be the weekend I can stay in bed (sleeping, perhaps?) until at least 8 and every weekend, I'm sorely disappointed that I am up at 7, taking off my sleeping cap and putting on my referee/short order chef/maid caps.

This morning was different, though!  I slept until 8!  The sad truth is, though, I slept until 8 because B has a friend over.  B and her friend were up until at least 1:30 and B came in at 4:30, afraid of something and asking if she could put the TV back on.  Backtracking a bit: B and her friend started watching Star Wars at about 11:30 last night and we think they fell asleep to the movie. Anyway, B was told no and we told her to go back to sleep.  Both the master bedroom and B's room border the patio, so we can see her room from our room.  About 2 minutes after she left our room, we saw her light come on, so I'm fairly certain she went back to her room and started reading (she and her friend were sleeping in the family room).  Anyway, once I was up, I was up.  I finally went back to sleep at 5:45, but I slept in until 8, so that counts for something, right?

B came back in at 8, followed by M and L who had had a fight over a tea party.  Sounds fun, right?  M claims L woke her up this morning and The Doctor and I claim all 3 woke us up (the only one who slept until close to 9 was B's friend!).  So, out of the 5 of us, 4 are going to be cranky messes today.  It should make for a lot of fun tonight when my wonderfully nutty family is over for our annual Hanukkah gift exchange and The Doctor's awesome latkes.

I am on a roll with my not yelling, though and I refuse for today to be the day that I break that.  As tired as I am, I will keep my voice low and my spirits high!

No yelling count: 3 days yell free!
