I just woke up. on the couch. with a cracker in my hand.

[LaraMN]

:rofl: I fell asleep sitting there, and one of the kids had put a towel over my lap and had given me the cracker. They were in the kitchen eating popcorn off the floor. My two year old's nose was running down his shirt.:puke: They saw me, and my daughter shouted "Yay! Mom's not dead!"
I am the Best.Mom.Ever.:rofl:

[Midlodemocrat]

1. Too funny.

:rofl:

[billyskank]

2. Just be grateful they didn't take pictures

and post them on DU. :hi:

[LaraMN]

4. I'm sure I'm not many years out from that.

The girl's got a devilish streak, for certain.

[Squatch]

3. Was the cracker pissed off?

I know I would be.

[LaraMN]

5. No, but it had a cheese filling.

and I ate it with my coffee, once I swept up the popcorn.

[Squatch]

6. Ummm...

Just wondering...did you happen to see a joke around here? I thought I posted one, but seems to have gone missing.

[Arkansas Granny]

7. Too funny! Brought back a lot of memories.

I woke up one morning to find that my older children had served me breakfast in bed: reheated coffee from the night before and leftover biscuits that were drenched with jelly. It was such a sweet gesture that I had to eat every bite while they stood there glowing with the pleasure of their good deed.

[LaraMN]

10. It's always sweet when they try to help.

I love them for it.:loveya:

[no name no slogan]

8. When I first started taking Ambien a few months ago

I got a little peckish, so I grabbed the humous and pitas out of the fridge and sat on the couch to eat a little snack. I woke up in the middle of Craig Ferguson's show with a half-eaten pita in my hand and the container of humous all over the front of my shirt. It looked like I'd puked myself.

I now go directly to bed after taking that stuff.

[LaraMN]

11. That's a great mental image!

:rofl:

[Hugin]

9. "Yay! Mom's not dead!"

LOL!

I bet they were checking your breathing with a mirror to your nose.
(I saw it in a movie once.)

[LaraMN]

13. I think they just took advantage of the opportunity to

"babysit" themselves. It usually involves some degree of sneaky behavior. I better go make sure the four year old hasn't stolen any of my bras and shoved them under her bed, again.

[Beausoir]

23. Yay! Mom's not dead. Best kid line ever. n/t

[underpants]

12. I woke up Sunday morning with the baby asleep across my lap

you should have seen it. The two of us looked like a train wreck. It was from a 4 AM feeding.

Oh BTW momma did NOT wash the boiled water pot, she put it up in the cabinet.

[LaraMN]

14. I fell asleep with "the baby" on the couch, in my lap once,

and I dropped her on the floor.:yoiks:

[underpants]

16. Uh oh rule #1

Don't drop the baby

Rule #2 DO NOT DROP THE BABY

Rule #3 Babies and honey don't mix

Rule #4 Keep an eye out for dingos

Josie was as out of it as I must have been. She never woke up as I put her in the rocking chair thing we have.

[LaraMN]

18. I suck at rule #4, as well.

My kids are damn lucky to believe alive AND limbed, still.

[Midlodemocrat]

17. When my youngest was still nursing, I brought her into

bed with me and fell asleep. I woke a couple of hours later when I heard the older kids going to the bus and rolled over and...brought her with me. She was still attached.

[LaraMN]

19. OMG! That's some serious suction!

OUCH!:scared:

[underpants]

20. Hahaha

Too funny.

I was off yesterday. We took a nap in the kingsize bed...with pillows all around and her jammies looped around my finger.

[Arugula Latte]

30. Ouch!!!

Those little buggers do latch on, don't they?

No wonder my "girls" aren't as, um, upstanding as they used to be ... :(

[SeattleGirl]

15. Oh my God, Lara!

I wish I had a picture of THAT! :rofl:

[LaraMN]

21. I'm rather glad that you don't.

It would've likely fit into the "cat dragged in" thread, as I'm sure I looked ridiculous.

[SeattleGirl]

22. I'd probably feel the same way

Still, though, it's something you guys can laugh about over the years. My family has some of those kinds of memories, too. Sometimes we just have to say one word in reference to an incident, and we all crack up!

[kwassa]

24. What are the first five letters of "cracker"?

That explains it all.

[LaraMN]

27. Well, y'know, we've all got our vices, some people like chocolate..

Some get off on the crack...

[Oeditpus Rex]

25. Sounds to me like

they're the Best.Kids.Ever.

:hi:

[LaraMN]

28. You don't know how many hard-boiled eggs they got into this afternoon.

Oh well, they'll be paying for it later!:rofl:

[Left Is Write]

26. I'd laugh, except that could easily happen to me.

I was up at least six times last night (my son had a bad night, and my daugther had to use the bathroom twice), and I'm so tired today I'm sure I could fall asleep anywhere.

[LaraMN]

29. I hear ya!

I'm wiped and I have to write a grant proposal for a class, once the kids are in bed.:bounce: Ahhh, the life of luxury and glamour us mothers enjoy, eh?
