Tales from the crib

I'm not sure where I went wrong, but I am sleep DEPRIVED. Somehow my two youngest can't seem to stay asleep in their own beds. Nearly every night, Emi and Ryker wind up in bed with me and Robb. Which wouldn't be so bad except for the fact that Emi cuddles like a suction cup and Ryker hits me in his sleep, usually in the face, and sometimes goes wee in his sleep. On me. EeeeeeheeeweeeeeeEEEW! So, here I am with a fat lip, wee on my leg and sleep deprived. Does anyone have any suggestions??? I have tried just about everything but kid-to-their-own-bed superglue. Plus, first thing in the morning, Jackie--my chocolate lab-- has this thing about licking me to wake me up. So, throw a little dog slobber in with the wee, sleep deprivation and fat lip. I vaguely remember when the kids were these sweet smelling, little tiny babies and I loved them so much I couldn't stand to put them in a crib. Now they are these huge, kid-smelly, ninja fighter sleepers who take all the blankets... who I love to pieces still, but, I am really sick of fighting for the prime mattress/pillow real estate. I need a nap. And advice. And maybe some duct tape?
