Every night, without fail, it drives me crazy! Go night-night babies...it's late! Every night, it's the same old "I'm not sleepy Mommy".
In my head I think "Of course you're not. You're my kids. We don't go to sleep like normal people." But in my outside voice, I say, "Yes you are!". You see, these 2 should be in bed by 9 but that is rare (oh who am I kidding? That never happens!). I'm a night owl and I hate mornings. Apparently the coffee nut doesn't fall far from the tree.
This is not good for Mommy! No, no, no...Mommy needs down time! I guess that comes between 2 and 3 AM? OY! One of these days, I'll get a couple of hours to myself, and a little bit of sleep. In the meantime, I'll amuse these 2 into the wee hours and be thankful that I have them in my life!
Rock on and I hope all of y'all get a good night's sleep! It's time for bed...GOOD NIGHT!
My girls were night owls when they weren't in school and I was a SAHM. Then when they got into school, I tried to change that, but it wasn't easy. I'm a night owl and didn't get to bed until almost 3am and now I'm exhausted. LOL I don't get to sleep in anymore, but I still don't go to sleep any earlier. hahahaha
ReplyDeleteI could have written this... my little monkey says "I'm just awake Mommy, just awake!!" :)
ReplyDeleteI can SO relate! My little guy has been a nightowl from birth. Luckily, I am too! He is two and it's rare to get him in bed and asleep by MIDNIGHT!! He gets a second wind around 11 and if he had it his way would keep playing until 2. Lucky for me he also loooves to sleep in!
