Party animals

How sad is your life when your kids stay up later than you? Okay, if you have teenagers and older, then it's okay - those crazy people can stay up for days! But, when your kids are young, it's kind of sad that you fall asleep before they do. I can remember a time when I would stay up until all hours of the night and not feel tired at all. Now, I'm yawning at 7. My kids? They're up till 10! And when I say up, I mean jumping, running, laughing, talking, reading, singing - doing whatever the opposite of sleeping is! It would be one thing if they would just lay there quietly while I stroked their hair and then they fell blissfully off to sleep. Not my girls - they want to party like rock stars. Bedtime equals playtime at our house. Now you'll understand those dark circles under our eyes.
