Good Night Moon

This is the book that reminds me of when the kids were little and wanted a story before bed.

 Why?  Why?  Why? 

 Why is the whole bedtime ritual so grueling?

(Did I spell that right?)

Every night for the last how many years we

have done the same things.  

You shower, brush your teeth, put your jammies on 

and read for 2o minutes. 

 That is unless you lolly-gag so much that there is no time for reading.

However every night at least one of the boys if not all, finds about 

a million or more reasons to keep getting

up out of bed.

  There is the 'I have to tell you good night.'

The 'I need a drink of water.'

The 'I need to go to the bathroom 5 times.'

And the greatest is the 'I forgot to do my homework.'

Which sends me through the roof.

I guess it's better that they don't completely forget it.

I just wish they would remember it a little earlier.  

You have had many hours to do the homework but 

save it till you are already in bed and half asleep.  

We also get the 'will you come check on me?'

If you get out of bed too many times you 

will not be checked on!

By the time they are all in bed and asleep it has taken hours to 

get to that point and it makes you want to start the whole process a whole lot earlier the next day at like 6:30.

Maybe if we started that early they would be in bed by midnight.

Can you tell that I was a little frustrated with he festivities of the night?

Oh well there is always tomorrow night we can fight for perfection!! 

 Good luck with that!!
