Oh, yeah, I forgot. I have a 15-page report due first thing in the morning on Yellow-Bellied Sapsuckers of the Amazon Rainforest. I need visual aids and the report must be typed, double-spaced and neatly bound. Do we have any tagboard? How about glitter? ---

My son has to get up at 7:30 weekdays for school. He does Not go to bed til 10:30. Doesn’t matter how tired he is in the morning, he doesn’t go to bed til 10:30 at the earliest. Ah well, he’ll be on vacation for 16 days, so we’ll be sleeping late and staying up late. He’s just a night owl, I brought him up that way. ---

Oh, my god… you have all met my kids. 🙂 Wow, I was really tired when I wrote that, and I had forgotten about it. We’d been moving for 6 days straight, and we just put the baby in the kids’ room, and bedtime has become an ORDEAL! But… > [@](#): > > You can’t tell me what to do, you’re not my real mom!

Or what I taught one of my cousin’s 3 year old. “Mommy! I can’t sleep the bed smells like poo!” You see, I had to get revenge on them for what they did to me when I was 5. I accomplished it. They were suddenly wide awake and into full ‘sanatize’ mode. It took a few hours but I was found out. Rest assured the circle of revenge will continue, but thankfully I’m single and they are all 10 years older than I am. By the time I have kids they’ll hopefully be nearing senile. ---
