Ugh...

is it a good thing when you and your whole family lay down to 'rest' at 4:30pm only to all wake up at 10:30pm??? Nope, I can tell you that it's NOT. I cannot remember the last time I put my kids to bed at 11:30...actually I think the correct answer is never. I mean, c'mon, I'm not that mean of a mommy..they were starving when they woke up tonight. I had to make them something to eat. So cereal and hotdogs were the requested menu. Thank God it was something quick and easy. I'm not surprised they were starving as our rest came on the heels of an early morning t-ball game and an afternoon at the pool. (something about swimming just makes everyone tired) Tomorrow is fathers day and the kids are so excited to wake up and make daddy breakfast. (yes THEY are making scrambled eggs and muffins with minimal help from me) So the question is: will they awaken at 5am or actually sleep in until after their usual 7am wake up time. My gut tells me it will be way too early to predict. I hope daddy doesn't mind waking up early for eggs in bed.
