There is a "Lets Keep Mom From Sleeping" conspiracy going on in this house!!! For the last several days the Cecil, Willie and Emmie have plotted to keep me from sleeping. How do I know this is happening? Well, I've heard them whispering over the food dish and going over the plan!! It all starts just as I am right there at the brink of crossing over to sleepytime... splat ...Emmie on the head (and we're talking this is one heavy cat almost 10 lbs) - then bang, bang, bang, Willie's in the kitty window perch playing a tune on the mini blinds - then swat - Cecil has decided my nose is a good target. And the cycle continues for about an hour (although it has been known to last longer) Last night I rolled over and was greeted by something cold and wet - turns out they drowned their catnip mouse and placed it on my pillow ... yuck.

FINALLY everyone calmed down and one by one they fell asleep (one on either side of me and one at the foot of the bed) and wouldn't you know it but Willie started snoring, Emmie chirping, and Cecil twitching!!! AGGGGGG! It was all just so comical that I had to laugh myself to sleep.

As conspiracy theories go - I'm just happy we live no where near a "grassy knoll" because then I think I would really be in trouble.
