I worked a long shift at work last night (which was fun) and my inlaws volunteered to watch the baby for a few hours while I took a nap. This was a lovely idea and I agreed. Two or three hours of sleep without the interruption of hubby's snoring or baby's needs was very tempting. I did not, however, count on the cats.
Marian and Dagmar wanted food. This is a reasonable want, but when I don't watch them eat Marian tends to eat Dagmar's food. Dagmar eats a little and walks away, leaving Marian to swoop in and eat her fill. To prevent this, I take Dagmar's food and put it up on the bed so I can encourage her to eat more. Since we've done this, Dagmar's gone from 8 lbs to 11 lbs and Marian's gone from 22 lbs to 17 lbs.
Since the point was to sleep, I decided to hold off on feeding the girls. They did not like my decision and decided to keep me awake until I fed them. First, they started fighting. After they stopped, Marian decided to attack my makeup and Dagmar started playing with a ball. Then the girls decided to walk on my head, run across the bed as fast as they could, and play with every bag they could find.
Needless to say I didn't get much sleep.
