Exhausted

Some days are like that.

My kids are really good at sleeping at night. They go to bed at 7, are asleep by 7:30, and wake up rarely at night.

Sadly, the youngest decided that 6am is morning, and that 5am is check and see if it is morning.

Even sadder, the oldest woke up shortly before 11pm and didn't fall back to sleep until almost midnight.

Exhausted.

I wonder why they did it on the night that Daddy's out of town.

Do they plot these things?

My mom used to say that. She'd say that we would dream up ways to drive her nuts. Because I didn't do that, I know that it just comes naturally.

My kids must have gotten that same drive-you-mother-nuts gene that I got.
