No time no time no time

Sitting here on a Sunday night I realize that its already 830 PM. There is still laundry to fold (waiting since Friday), dishes to do, toys to pick up, phone calls to make, and of course work to do.

None of which I mind doing on their own. All of which I mind doing after 8:30 PM. Certainly all of which I mind doing after 8:30 PM, all together.

Some things will have to go. Probably the toys that are on the porch will stay on the porch. Those on the floor will stay on the floor. Laundry is an if. Dishes are a must. Work is a really should do, and phone calls are a must.

By the way, Ben will certainly do his share or more, although he feels the same way I do about getting in some time to relax at night.

All of which boils down to, Eden going to sleep is a must too. Im really fed up with Eden taking until 9 or so to fall asleep. I'm tired of being called back "because, because, because - my tummy hurts!" or "because, because, because, I want to say good night to the lights outside!" or even the ever so manipulative "because, because, because, I need to PEE!" That one gets me moving fast, and my 3 year old knows it well. Usually, she does not actually need to pee, although its still worth getting her out of bed, just in case.

Or the ever, "because, because, because, Mommy I took my clothes off!" And there she is, butt naked, and gets to jump up, run around and look for her pjs and underwear which are anywhere in her room. What fun! Usually I crack up at this because why does she take her clothes off? And she is just really adorable. But the joke is getting a little old.

Because, because, because I am just really tired.
