Why Can’t I Lie Down?

UGH! I am feeling a little cruddy. I’ve got the sore throat, stuffed-up nose, achy muscle thing going on. The girls were playing well independently yesterday so I decided to just lie down for a minute. They have some kind of crazy radar. The second my head hit the pillow, they pounced.

Literally.

Why oh why do my kids think that I am the most fun jungle gym ever? It doesn’t matter if I am on the couch or on the floor, the second I am horizontal, they feel the need to bounce on me, climb on me, crawl over me and generally harass me.

I just don’t understand the appeal. Yes there is a lot of me to climb, but I don’t have any slides, swings or climbing walls. Yet they act like the FixItMommy is the best climbing wall and bouncer ever created.
