( After one hour of sleep in 48 hours Tom was slurring and VERY incoherent. He had been working on the over-the-top Halloween decorations and costumes for his office party. )
Tom: So it was a morning…..I don’t remember what morning they all blended together. So it was this morning and I was in the cubicle, the one by the Vampires. So I was working away on these costumes….workety workety workety. And then I was all like “I need a drink who wants a drink?” And they were like “ get me diet Mountain Dew!” So I was getting the drinks and thinking of the rubber mouses, because that’s just not right! Then this little mouse scurried out and along the wall - scurry, scurry, scurry (makes little scurrying motions with his hands) - then it ran right under the vending machine! Then I thought, “That is so weird because those vending machines don’t even have Mountain Dew. I have to go to the other break room!”
Tom: I’m not a little girl. But I work with one every day.
Tom (girley voice): ooohhh Toast! Thank you, my butter knife!
Tom (addressing his foot, which wiggles when he is tired): You just stop that wiggling, foot. You stop it now. You are going to give us away, you traitor. *sssshhhh*
Mysti: OK, Tom you don’t have to sleep. Just go up to the bed room. I took apart the bed and turned it into a time machine. You just lay down on it and time travel to the next morning.
Tom: *hmph* You’re not stupid, me! You won’t be fooled.
Tom: My nipple? It’s a different person? (pointing to nipple) Sucker! You just got your shock on!
Tom: We have to go watch the Red Dwarf on the big screen.
Mysti: No we need to stay upstairs because my legs hurt.
Tom: No. I will carry you it will be awesome. Like a slide!
Mysti: No I’ll turn it on upstairs on the net book.
Tom: But the little screen is lame and my sleepy eyes can’t focus on it…..Not that I’m sleepy, or have eyes.
Tom: Why am I not this funny all the time? I’m awesome. I should stay up all the time on an all Rockstar diet.
Tom: Are you going to unfriend Bookface me?
My family with four little girls can be a wild ride. Sometimes it feels a bit like some sort of crazy comedy. Strap in and enjoy some of it with me.

The crying... The crying...
Tom: Morgan, you need a belt.
Morgan: No, I don’t want to need a belt any more!
Tom: That made no sense. Were you trying to make sense.
Morgan: No.
Kaiya (hugging Tom‘s arm): I am just so snuggly to day. We can never stop the snuggles! We just need to snuggle forever.

Tom: You are the only one in the tub though.
Kaiya (big smile): I know that was the idea!
Morgan (screaming): I want Mommy ti brush my teeth!

A good choice.
Kaiya: Mom, you just get older and older every day.
Morgan: No! I no want to go to Grandema’s house any more… I want to go home.
Kaiya: Mommy, when I’m a grownup, I won’t bug Morgan. But when Morgan’s a grownup, she’ll never stop the bugging.
Kaiya: Mom, you have two choices, one: you can let me go to a friend’s house, or two: you can say no and I will be mad and sad all at the same time. Now make a good choice.
Morgan: Mom, I am so full. Can I have some of that bread?
Mysti: Morgan, say ah.
Viola: Aaahhhh!
Morgan: No! I no want to go to Grandema’s house any more… I want to go home.
Kaiya: Mommy, when I’m a grownup, I won’t bug Morgan. But when Morgan’s a grownup, she’ll never stop the bugging.

School, friends and Orca Whales
Mysti: Doesn't your brother have an android phone or something?
Tom: It's a Palm Pre.
Mysti: When is your brother's birthday?
Tom: I don't know.
Mysti: *giggle*
Tom: What?
Mysti: I love that you know what kind of phone he has, but you don't know his birthday. The male social dynamics are very entertaining to me.
(Sadie is the girl across the street.)
Kaiya: "Mom, I am just going out to get a quick Sadie."
Kaiya: Mom, I learned lots of things at school.
Me: What did you learn today?!
Kaiya: I don't know. I can't remember
Kaiya: I love Morgan, Evalyn and Viola. Lets keep them.
Morgan: Mommy, Kaiya is gone. Now I no bug her!
Morgan: Mwa ha ha ha ha! I sitting in your chair, Kaiya.
Kaiya: Mommy, with that necklace on you are just as pretty as Ponyo. You look just as pretty as a fish.
(Morgan's new favorite toy is a stuffed Orca Whale.)
Morgan: It isn’t a flipper! It is an orca tail!
Morgan : *shouting* Mom where are you!
Mysti: I am just over here.
Morgan: *loud whisper* Shhh. The orca is sleeping!
Mysti: Morgan, do you want to push a button?
Morgan: Yes! (pushes the button) teehee.
Kaiya: Mom, can I paint a picture for you? You can paint one for me too. It will be so romantic. *sigh*
Tom: It's a Palm Pre.
Mysti: When is your brother's birthday?
Tom: I don't know.
