Instead of going through the normal kids' bedtime routine of bath, story and bed, and then having some time to myself, I have been banished from the living room to my bedroom. I. has a friend over to stay and they're watching Mamma Mia on DVD. I was allowed to make them a big bowl of popcorn, I made them a jug of drink and then I was expected to leave.
So now I'm sitting on my bed, I've surrounded myself with my laptop, knitting, books from our library visit today and my wallet for a few internet purchases.
The other topsy turvy thing is that I would actually quite like to go to sleep, having had a ridiculously busy week, but those two girls want to stay up as late as possible of course.
I'm sure tonight will be the first of many...
But think of all the knitting you can do :)
ReplyDeleteI think you've just described how most of our summer nights have gone! I don't think my daughter has gone to bed before 1 am in so long!
ReplyDeleteI do the same thing... Being in bed with all good stuff and let the kids have their tv-/ film going on..
