You always could lock them in a room of their own to destroy. Or drug them with something for the evenings. You could squirt them with waterbottles when they wake you up or rattle cans or hit them with rolled up socks. Or get a dog like I have that will chase them out of the room when I say "GitEm" :P Microwaves work too but that's a one time solution. I don't think that sending them to me every night is a solution due to the commute. Like the new page but I'm going to miss you Shiveringwarmth. :o( Even though I haven't been around lately.

We'll just have to think of this as training for when we have kids! :) Becky, we've got quite a ways to go until they're 19! Abby has another 8 years and Sunny has 17! Yikes!

Kabuki is 19 and is down to waking us up only once, which starts at about 5 AM. Prior to that she would jump onto our dressers and bat around anything that could possibly move with the swipe of a paw. So...how old are Abby and Sunny? Remember, it will be better when they are 19!

Just wait, the cats will seem like a faint small annoyance when the baby screams at you for over an hour straight even after you fed the thing, gassed it and checked for the aromatic bomb in the back end. Then after the baby proceeds to puke on you from crying so long, you have to get up and take a shower because the stench of stale milk and green vegtables is so overwhelming when you are trying not to think about it. Finally you settle the baby down but you are wide awake! Just as you are drifiting off to la-la land the little darling shatters the peaceful night air with screams so loud your cats will actually run and hide. At that point you will be in such a tired stupor you hurl the kid at your "supposedly" sleeping significant other and then you will get into a yelling match over who gets to be up with baby. All hope of sleep will be lost for years. Around 2-3 years of age the kid will finally sleep enough so that you can string together at least a few hours of sleep, but you sleep lightly in case he/she wakes up (don't hope for any of that REM sleep that everyone raves about). And just when you get the hang of it and you think that it isn't so bad...the next baby arrives and the cycle starts again. So enjoy your sleep tonight and even your cats, of course if they drive you insane you can always call me. I'll be up-yelling at my husband. I have one word for you….kids!!!
