I am so damned tired that I'm nauseated. Between Faeryn not coming home (again) until around 3am, the cats getting ancy starting at 4:30 and not being willing to give me peace for more than 15 minutes, I'm about to collapse. I've tried lying down for a nap every time they get quiet and settle somewhere, but within 15 minutes, one or the other is crawling on me, trying to chew my hair, or yowling for one reason or another or fighting. Locking them out of my room resulted in escalated yowling.

I've made a list of things I need from the store and am going to try to get them, then I will come back home and sleep in my car or in the basement; the car will be quieter.

I am not at all sure how much longer I can do this before my body simply gives out. I need to find out if I can buy this house so I can send the cats down to the basement to give me a break.

I'm so tired.

Would earplugs help?

Ear plugs might help except for the small issue of my needing to hear my alarm in the morning. That may not be an issue, though, becaause if I ignore them enough, they climb on me or come chew my hair. I'll pick up some when I pick up hair spray in a few minutes, and will try them tonight.

Would feeding them extra before bedtime help?

Our furkids are on portion control, and the reason for their morning crazies and wake-UP-Mom!!!! antics is soley that they want to get fed. And being hungry generates crabbiness so it also causes the squabbling.

I don't know if that's the case with your two. But when I want to sleep in, I "forget" they're on a diet and give them extra servings at bedtime.
