it does or doesn't translate well
I was pulled out of sleep, very early this morning by a sharp-"Mom!!" -we are talking like 2 a.m.

I snapped awake, eyes open in the dark...tensed, wondering what was wrong. I listened hard a moment, trying to detect which child needed me. I heard nothing.

Just as I was about to get up and go check on all the kids, wondering if I was just dreaming, or did I really hear one of the kids call me in some kind of distress...

I hear

"mmeeow" right next to my bed.

I guess in my sleep, I translated that to "Mom!"

he did need me...to let him outside, post haste...

oh, those middle of the night noises!! We have some of those body soap/shampoe bottles that suction to the shower wall and that is usually the time they like to let loose and crash into the tub.. You have to check 'cuz it sounds like whoever fell could really be hurt!! No snow today!!

Well, I'm glad everyone is okay... assuming your pulse has gone back to normal [smile].

Amazing how that radar is always on, isn't it?

Last night, I couldn't decide if it was my 4 y.o., or the coyotes, that were howling! Woke me out of a sound sleep, too.

It was the coyotes.

Sigh.

Loved reading about your "odyssey" into ancient Greece--and your good Sonlight experience! So glad you're happy with your choices! (sometime Sonlight user)

And I hope Amie's stitches heal up perfectly! Wow.

Hen,

It seems to be a universal truth that moms are always on-call!

Amie's stitches came out, and it looks great, the Dr. did a great job.

thanks for stopping by and commenting!
