I like your dinner plan, Laura. DH thinks 7 is way too early to eat and it drives me crazy.
Book: Where's the doctor? Not back yet?
Zoe: (beat) We don't make him hurry for the little stuff. He'll be along.
Book: He could hurry... a little.

Spike's Bitches 40: Buckle Up, Kids! Daddy's Puttin' the Hammer Down.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Percy knows the danger of the shower monster. If anyone is in the shower he must be in there, too. At least he no longer tries to hamstring us as we get into the shower. Matt thought it was sorta funny when I ended up with 4 paws and teeth on the back of my knee. Until it happened to his ankle. Percy was banned from the bathroom for awhile.
I felt better after a nap. now i feel all loopy again

I look more rad than Lutheranism
The Cat Daniel is absolutely convinced that teh hoomans need a cat wingman any time they venture into the bathroom, for any purpose.
One of the cats always sits on The Boy's lap whenever The Boy is on the john. Always. She never tries it with me, because I think she knows there'd be hell to pay.

Eating earlier is better if you can. Partly because it can take 5 hours to digest a meal - not so good for sleep. Yes, I have read at least 3 books on how to sleep better.

The last place we lived had shelves in the bathroom above the washer and dryer where I kept my folded sheets. The cats liked to sleep up there. Unless the shower was on, then they had to get out Get Out GET OUT!

Ok, I have a question that is completely from left field.
I need to know which Buffistas sprog are in the 3-4 year old range.
I know I should be able to rattle of names, but dang it - they are all still babies in my brain.

Yeah, I've suspected for a while that the late dinners are messing with my sleep. The only way I'd be able to eat earlier would be separate dinners and that seems like a really bad idea. I was raised with a strong "whatever else is going on we eat dinner together as a family" and it really took root in my hindbrain.

Because books.
Sara's 4, Suzi.
Lillian just turned 3, and Em is 3.5, and Owen is 3, too. Ellie is ... not yet 3, I think. Iris is 3, too.
I'm drawing a blank now.
We always eat late. Like, seven. Even the kids.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Oh, and Isaac is 3, just this past weekend. And Casper and Frannie are both a bit past 4 1/2 -- I don't know if that counts for your idea of 3-4 range or not.

Team Amy totally has this covered. ::nods::
