After a long, long Christmas vacation, the kids went back to school today.

Being night owls, (like me) they stayed up almost all night most nights and while we tried to get them used to daytime hours, it wasn't always easy.  Cheri blamed me of course, and after 2 hours of sleep she made me get up to get the kids up.  To my shock and surprise, at 5:30 AM, they were both already up.

Seth had basketball tryouts after school for about 2 and a half hours.  After we picked him up, we all went out to dinner, and Seth deided, no more basketball.  Before dinner was over, they were both having trouble staying awake.  When we got home, maybe 6:00 or so, they went straight to bed.

Now I have to wonder what time they'll get up in the morning!  John

I have to laugh some. I woke up last night and could not get back to sleep. I am very tired now, so did not go to the gym so sleepy.

Karly woke up, (as I suspected she might) at 3:00 AM, saying she had a problem.  She couldn't go back to sleep.  I told her to watch a video and maybe she could get back to sleep.  If not, it would be a long time until 5:30 when she had to get up.  She just stayed up.  Seth never did wake up and after 10 hours sleep, we had to wake him up.

Me getting only a couple hours of sleep would not be so bad but I really don't want to be dropping him off at school with all those kids and traffic everywhere.  Not a good idea.

No idea what tonight or tomorrow will be like.  John

Cheri told me this morning I slept through the beginning of a thunderstorm, only to be awakened after 2 hours by Karly screaming at her brother.  Karly stopped screaming and shortly thereafter, the thunderstorm stopped thundering.  Karly was mad at her brother for slowing her down getting ready for school.  (He didn't.)  And I'm still awake.  John
