My cats are plotting against me...

Darwin and Lucky USED to sleep with Doug and I every night. Lucky would always curl up at the bottom of the bed and Darwin likes to find the least comfortable place for me, usually directly on top of my face or on my neck. He's still a kitten, so it's actually quite cute. (Unless it's 2 in the morning) As Darwin has started to grow up, Lucky and him have started to play around the house more during the night time and do not go to bed with us anymore. (sniff, sniff, my baby kitten is growing up!)

Every morning, Doug wakes up before the alarm and is out of the house to go to work before 5 am, yes 5 AM. I usually stumble out of bed really quickly to give him a kiss before he leaves and then jump back into my warm bed and promptly return to sleep for 10-15 minutes until the alarm clock goes off. (Every minute of sleep I can get, I will take it!) Unlike my husband, waking up is especially difficult for me and it usually takes a couple "taps" on the snooze before I am actually out of bed.

As of lately, as soon as my alarm clock goes off, Lucky and Darwin have been coming into the room and promptly laying on top of me, Lucky on my feet and Darwin on my chest. They both purr really loudly and give me THE eyes that say, "DON'T LEAVE!" I can barely physically move (Lucky is quite the large, not fat, but large cat) and Darwin is so dang cute that it hurts me emotionally to move his little kitten body off of me. Believe me, I don't want to move because its freak'n feels like its 10 degrees outside my bed...so I just lay there and don't get up until the last possible moment. I've only had time to shower every OTHER day this week instead of every day and I barely make it to school before my students are in the classroom.

My cats are plotting against me. They don't want me to go to work.
