Buttercup always sleeps the most soundly when I put her to bed because nothing tires her out like a solid hour of screaming.
My favorite part of the chocolate peanut butter cup has to be either the chocolate or the peanut butter. I’m apathetic about the cup part.

She’s screaming because she’s tired but stubborn and doesn’t want to give up. I wonder where she gets that from? We used to let ours just go until they conked. 90 mph all day with no sign of fatigue (as long as they’re fed). Then, 9:30 at night, BOOM! Passed out like someone threw a switch. Today, I can’t keep up with ’em. They’re STILL like that.
Parenting is the greatest thing.
Ah, Buttercup has discerned my secret to a good night’s sleep.
Random thoughts:
I just heard that the “unions” are targeting Johnsonville brats and Angel soft tp because the companies backed Scott Walker for governor of Wisconsin. I know what I will be eating this weekend and how I will be taking care of it afterward. There is nothing like a good grilled brat with some onion and mustard and wrapped in bacon.
I had to buy a foreign car because all U.S. owned companies make theirs in canada, mexsico, or are made by unions.
Does anyone wonder why your president celebrates May day and not July the fourth?
I like to get up about 3 AM and yowl. No reason – just for fun.
Is Buttercup’s scream that ear piercing, glass shattering, I’m going to go insane type? If so, Good Girl, Buttercup!
‘Yowl?’ Then what’s a ‘howl?’ Something a dog do? (I’d rather clean-up dogdo than catyowl.)
Shane, those 1/2 pounders gotta be artery-clogging, heart stopping, cardiac arrest good!
* Random thought: How many of you see this when you think about the Royal wedding taking place?
I find I sleep the soundest when I’ve relaxed by drop kicking a few cats.
Random Fact: Obama is seeking to kill Tony the Tiger and the Trix rabbit. Silly Rabbit, Obama is for dopes.
It’s time to take to the streets, boyos.
When my boys were babies, my wife worked third shift at a hospital. She would come home, kiss them sweetly, and ask me, “Did they sleep through the night?”
I rubbed my bleary eyes and replied, “I presume so.”
Marko, I’ve a boy cat. He’s about 35 pounds and he read your post. He then ran over to the scratching post and went to work. Then he kind of growled, I think he was saying “Let’s play”!
I guess Frank’s baby’s full name is PeanutButtercup.
Methinks the Fleming family has discovered one of the true joys of parenthood-insomnia.
Thanks for bringing back fond memories of childhood, when my parents screamed at my brother and I for hours on end to ensure that we slept well.
@ussjimmycarter,
In the future, please refrain from cat blogging.
My “Buttercup” is 16. She puts the old man to bed and is up before I’m coherent. I guess all those nights of walking the baby caught up to me. She’s going to prom tomorrow and I’ll be waiting up. Time goes so quick Frank, she’ll be driving next week…
Hearos ear plugs. Don’t stay home without them.
Sorry, Frank, they are teenagers before they figure out that sleep is the cure for being tired. Until then, they get crankier and crankier as they get more and more tired, and more and more determined to fight off sleep at all costs. (Once they are teens, they master the art of being cranky and irrational without being tired.)
Along the lines of Random Thoughts…
Did you hear the news about an 8 year old kid being arrested in New York for selling a loaded gun to another kid at his school? http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/8-Year-Old-Brings-Gun-Sells-it-at-Queens-School-120901834.html is the article. Apparently both the kid and his father are being charged with “criminal possession of a fire arm”… but I think it fails to address the saddest part of the whole affair. The kid sold the gun for a whopping $3. I mean holy crap, this is New York! If you’re gonna live there you gonna learn how to leech more money out of sales, especially “illegal” ones.
We all ASSUME it is the BABY that is crying for a solid hour.
