She Sleeps Until When?

When you hang out with other people’s children, you learn a lot about their parents. It’s fun.

I’ve written about our recent Spring Break zoo excursion to Tulsa. We tried to get adjoining rooms, but the best the hotel could do for us was two rooms across the hall from each other. I ended up with my daughter and her best friend. The other mom got stuck with all the boys and the pizza boxes. (I have no idea how that happened.) While we princesses were sleeping in, the other room was up watching cartoons and scarfing down leftover pizza.

“Are you girls hungry?” I asked the sleeping beauties in my room. My daughter’s friend nodded vigorously. “Okay,” I said “Let’s go to the other room. Your mom’s making oatmeal over there.”

“She is?” The girl looked at the clock. Her face registered extreme confusion. “Because she usually sleeps until like… ten.”

Could You Fall Asleep During a Root Canal?

If you’re sleepy, or your tooth hurts, or you really just need to know that other people are living the same crazy life you are, you have got to read this post from Jessica Bern. Maybe it’s the fact that my husband is going in to work early and I’m trying to wake up with him, or maybe it’s just that my everlovin’ three year old root canal is bother me AGAIN (no fault of the snack mix I overate this weekend….) but this story cracked me up. Try and not get distracted for too long with Jessica’s videos.
