Day 3-4: The Really Young and The Restless

Now, things are starting to set in.  We're getting our grove on.  We're cooking with gas.  We're ... oh, you get the picture.

Everything was moving and groving... until last night. 

Then the wheels came off.

Everyone was sound asleep by 8pm.  It seemed to be another gorgeous evening in the GM.  But then specks of lightning could be seen in the distance.  A low rumble of thunder.... 

Times were a changin

First, it was Mila who awoke... not sure what time.  She would occasionally wake and cough and then go back down.  But she was up now and needed plugging.  She went down.

Then there was weird thumping noises every so often.  I though it might be the ghost of Mr Schwartz.  But then I turned on the video monitor.  Somehow the Pizz kept tossing and turning, and rolling herself into the wall.

**thump**

**thump**

**thump**

**THUMP**

Alright!  I'm up.  I look at the clock... 11pm.  Great.  I go into the Pizz' room and start to shuffle her back into position.  She was a sack of potatoes.  Finally I get her in and tuckytuckied in.  She's done.

I get back into bed.

** the thunder rolls....***

Ham starts whinning.  More thunder.  Ham starts barking.

Oh, you can't be serious.  Ham, be quiet.  Nothing.  I get up and pull his bed closer.  I start petting him.  More lightning and thunder... louder doggie yelps!

Ok, I'm up!!!  I go downstairs and begin to look for the ativan.  Not for me, but for the dog.  (although I could try some too)  I find some and give it to him.  Now to last through the 15-20min it takes to set in. 

We go back upstairs, and I climb back into bed.  Whew!  Then, more more thunder!!!  More more puppy yelps!  Oh for the love of pete!!!

Finally we get to sleep...

**distant whines**  What now!?!?!?  I look at the clock... 2am... argh...  *** eh eh eh ... uh uh uh ... waaaa!!!***

Ok, I'm up!!!  I paddle down the hall, and fine the Cokes awake and grunting.  Fortunately it is only about finding his paci and pluggin him...  This is tough to do in the dark and under duress... but it finally happened. 

Ahhh... back to bed....

***beep beep beep*** 

5am time to get up!!!!
