We have settled nicely into this whole vacation thing. The kids have been staying up a little later and sleeping in until 9! in the morning. I have been staying up late as i like to do.
I think the hardest part of parenting for me is the whole morning thing. I'm really a mess until noon or later. I don't really come to life until the evening. It's not unusual for me to turn the music way up while i'm making dinner and get all the kids to dance with me. Normal people's lowest time of day is the beginning of my high-point.
The best gift this holiday is lounging in bed in the mornings and sitting up late - guilt free and alone - at night.
Come next tuesday i'll be singing a different story. Actually, there won't be much singing - a lot of yelling - for instance:
"get your asses out of bed!"
"you're going to be LATE for sharing!"
"DADDY'S LEAVING!!!" "AND I'M NOT TAKING YOU IN MY JAMMIES!!"
"Forget about your teeth! Nobody will notice you stink!"
and most definitely
"WHAT was I thinking!!!"

Oh yeah... all that for us. I've become a sort of forced morning person and do get alot accomplished on the days when I HAVE to be up that early. Really though, it's 11:56am here, I'm in my jammies, the kids just got dressed to play outside and I might read a book. That's the way I really likes it.
