I think Christoph Niemann is Mr. Graphic-Goodness. As father to three young boys, he's also hip to our plight on the domestic front. Here's a taste of this cool daddy's work for his New York Times blog Abstract City. Bits of his take on sleep....
Niemann describes the above as... "A visitor from the kids' room. They start all sweet and cuddly, but their bodies become more brazen by the minute." I know! Here's another complication brought on by peculiar little people who would sleep with us every night if they could have their way....
Read the entire post he calls Goodnight and Tough Luck, and see if you can relate. As usual, he gave me a good laugh. Urinary issues, check. Midnight hypochondria, check. Kids invading our bed, double check. Incidentally, Pappy and I are running a race tomorrow and have to meet people at 5:30 a.m. sharp, PLUS our kids have a contract that says they're sleeping in our room tonight. Will we get a good night's sleep to power us through a 10k run? Wish us luck!

hi kristen, actually there's no contract... was just exaggerating for dramatic effect about us having promised them something : )
This best describes a certain mickey mouse
MacDaddy? Is that you? Because I think were thinking of the same little boy
Oh that clears it up then... the mickey mouse comment was really cryptic at first : )
I am laughing my ass off! I'm a really big fan of "provocative understatement", which is what his drawings are. Hilarious!
