Ladybird WM – It is tempting to lie there for longer but I have never done it. It would set a precedent and I would be asleep by 7.30 every night, slumped against my 4 year old.

3 Bay B Chick – patience? What’s that!

Michelle – Am laughing so loud right now at the naked man. He was in the last post and somehow I must have still been thinking about it when I labelled this one!

Nicola – They are far too smart. I think I should take up a course called ‘Strategies to outsmart your own children’

This is also the story of my life - and extends to include undressing, getting in bath, getting pjs on, choosing fav toy to cuddle for the night, then spending what seems like 5 hours choosing 3 books. Hilarious...if it wasn't quite so close to home. Especially the part about wishing their life away. I am guilty of that all too often. Aren't they smart?? Love it!

Then, I figure by dark, they have it narrowed to at least 300.<br/><br/>Why does this classify under "naked man?" Just curious..

Why do things always take about a 1000 times longer than you feel like they should? Sometimes I am more patient than others and I don't have to "count" to motivate my kids. Other times, the tick tock in my head is louder than I would like it to be. :)<br/><br/>-Francesca This scene is dangerously close to the one that happens in my house each and everyday!
