Today Karl was pounding through concrete to make a drain, I was gathering trash for a dump run, Liz made breakfast for everyone, and I went up to my bedroom to find Nick and Xena quietly lounging in bed next to the sleeping cat.

"Hey, lazybones!" I said.

Nick said, "I came in and Mom was just lying here--"

Xena cuts him off: "When I came in and the cat looked so comfy--"

I started laughing.

"Yes, it's the cat's fault that we are having a lazy lie-in."
