Sleeping When the Kids Sleep

by Sandra Williams

tired:sanja gjeneroI’m punched today and seemed to have gotten up too early and went to bed too late.

We have another storm so might not even have to run around like a mad woman in the morning because it looks like another snow day. Everyone is sleeping so there’s no reason I can’t do the same.

It’s important that parents take care of themselves and admit when they need some down time. I probably need more than the average person does but I’m going for a head dive anyway.

  • Since I’m not too spunky, check out Mom is Teaching. Summer has an interesting discussion/debate going on about educating boys verses girls.

I certainly understand her decision to homeschool and her desire to encourage her children’s individual learning styles. Traditional school can’t be fun for children who like to move all the time regardless of gender.
