Be Careful What You Wish For
Tuesday, September 2, 2008 at 06:03PM As a follow up to my last post (my tongue-in-cheek bitch-fest), please let it be known that I am now Lilly’s favorite. Unfortunately, she has chosen to display this new show of affection in a less than desirable way. The last few nights Lilly has made 3AM potty runs. Prior to the actual acts, she’s come to wake me up to inform me of said events.
- One night it was simply to tell me she had gone potty, she needed no help, and she did not want me to put her back to bed—she would do it herself.
- The next night she told me she had a bad dream, she was thinking about going potty, and she, again, needed no assistance from me.
- Last night she insisted I get out of bed and take her to the potty because she was afraid to go alone, I was required to put her to bed, and two lullabies were required to complete the process.
Granted, I’m a bit road-weary today after three consecutive interrupted evenings, but the way I see it, a very clear choice has been made. I MUST be Lilly’s favorite or she would have at least woken MRS up one of those nights.
Since I’ve established a new found status as house favorite and I really need some sleep, I’ll be spending tonight and tomorrow night in a hotel—courtesy of a conveniently timed work trip. As I snicker at the thought of Lilly waking up MRS later tonight as a default do to my absence, I’m saddened by the real probability that Lilly will probably just sleep straight through the night. And karma will wake me up at 3 AM just to bust my balls.
Either way, we all had a great long weekend and I’d rather be home with them right now anyway. See you soon girls.

I'm glad to see that you fully understand the ramifications of karma and how they never ever let us down.
At least she isn't going potty in the bed.
Ditto on the karma thing. It always bites you in the butt when you least suspect it...
Business trips to avoid the kids. A slippery slope, my friend.
