Morning dialogue
At 4:30 a.m., I heard the pitter pat of little feet. Sweet God, no. 
Daughter: (whispers) Mommy, I have to go potty.
Me: Well, then, go.
Her: Come, come! 
I dragged myself out of bed and helped her, then informed her that it was still nighttime.
Her: I want cereal. Cheerios. 
Me: It’s time to sleep. Good night. Here, I’ll tuck you in.
Her: I want to sleep in your bed.
(Oh, heck no. Sleeping with a toddler means she pries your eyes open and smiles sweetly, saying, “Wake-up time!” Or she pats your head.)
Me: No, you sleep in your bed. Night-night.
I closed the door to her room and prayed she would stay there for at least another hour. I think the only way to guarantee it would be to give her full access to her Halloween candy. 
And yes, the thought did cross my mind.
Revisions are coming along, and tonight I’m watching LOST. It’s my guilty pleasure, what can I say? How about you? What are your plans for the day?

I’m working on revisions too
LauraP Says:
I’m cleaning the barn, and working on GMC stuff for a new story. And tonight…LOST, assuming decent TV reception. (Someday I shall spring for satellite TV - right now, I’d rather spend the $ on the greenhouse.)
Kelly Says:
Well my plans pretty much consisted of figuring out what made my characters tick before I had to drag myself kicking and screaming to work.
Robyn Says:
It’s posts like this that remind me why I’m glad I have teenagers.
Still working on NaNoWriMo and pretending I don’t leap through my skin when I have e-mail (my baby is in the hands of an actual editor!)
Melissa Says:
Hmm…tonight I will be doing laundry and trying to recover from my Chicago trip.
Stacy Dawn Says:
LOL…oh yes, those are the fun times. Mine like to spread eagle when they sleep ending with an arm in my face or a leg kicking me all night
Tori Lennox Says:
I’m pretty bummed that it’s the last episode of Lost until February. OTOH, it’ll be nice to have no interruptions through the end of the season when it starts back up.
Heidi Dahlquist Says:
Did you end up getting any sleep? Sorry, it does sound cute. Sounds like interesting and fun times with a child. I dont have children yet, so if this is what I get to look forward too….well Ill take it.

Michelle Says:
Melissa–did you have fun in Chicago?
Chris–you can do it!
Good luck on the revisions, Bonnie.
Robyn–here’s some chocolate to hold you over.

Hoping to write. But it’s getting late and I don’t know if I’m going to make it. But I haven’t blog surfed in way too long!
