I put Mackinley to bed at 8:30 p.m. He was laying in his bed talking, chatting, kicking his feet...normal stuff he does every night until he falls asleep. Tonight, however, this is what went on:
9:15 - "MOMMA! I YUV YOU, MOMMA!"
9:30 - I hear something but can't make it out. At this point I decide to go in to tell him to be quiet and go to sleep before he wakes up Piper. I open his door and say "Mackinley James! You need to be quiet and go to sleep!" He says "But Momma, I want a kiss and a hug!"
9:45 - "MOMMA I NEED A WIPE!!" (I ignore it) Three more times..."MOMMA I NEED A WIPE!" So, again, I open his door and before I can say anything I hear "My nose is runnin, Momma!! Bring me a wipe, PLEASE!" So I take him a tissue and tell him again..."Be quiet and go to sleep, Mackinley, IT IS LATE!"
10:00 - Again I hear noises but I don't know what he's saying, all I know is it is WAY TOO LATE to be yelling and he NEEDS to be sleeping!! So I go in there, meaning business this time. I open the door, ready to scold and I see him on his bed, on all fours, backside in the air and pointed at the door. He says "TOOT for you, Momma!!!" I of course have to laugh...who wouldn't?!?! After a giggle I explain to him that he better be quiet and go to sleep or he might get a spank!
10:30 - Finally, all is quiet.
So...everyone who has been complaining about DST and how the people who invented it don't have children...I now see where you're coming from!

I take the blame, he was channeling B10 and CW. That's been them the last week (so much more than before)!
That's just funny, btw... ;)
Very funny.
See - - - I TOLD you DST was AWFUL!!! Just wait and see how easy it is to get him to go to bed a 8:30 when the sun is DIRECTLY OVERHEAD!!!
(Slight exaggeration for effect)
See, DST really does stink! ha ha.
Don't you just love bedtime some nights? Drew is usually asleep right away since he's exhausted from kindergarten.
Alex, on the other hand-let's just say that story sounded awfully familiar!
DST stinks!!! From here on out till the end of the school year I will experience very ugly mornings! My kids are so tired in the mornings because they do the same as Mackinley. Ah what were these people thinking?!?!

That story made me LAUGH!!! He is so funny.
And I actually like DST....but my kids don't go to bed that early its usually 9-9:30 for Cedric, Haley, and sometimes Holly. And Sara goes to bed when I get her there :) As your kids get older you will like it especially when it comes to them playing outside and they are not playing in the dark.
and Haley lol on the word...mine is "ousnukir"
Heck, I can't get myself to work on time. It feels like I have plenty of time to get ready, but when I look at the clock it's already 7:30!
Our cat has trouble, too. John, at his age, just sleeps whenever.
