I'll sleep in when I'm old

So my throat is a little sore. I'm tired. I need to stop going to bed at midnight. It just doesn't work when you can't sleep in until ten. Yeah, I like to have ten hours of sleep. Well, nine is okay too. Eight has never been enough for me. I go with the theory that everyone needs a different amount of sleep; and this is just me. Or it could be that I'm lazy. I'm not certain. Though I have read that the more sleep you get per night on average the longer you live.

Oh, do you want to hear something horrible? This was the thought that just popped unbidden into my head: "How wonderful it will be to be elderly and to get to sleep in again! And the longer I live, the more time I'll have to sleep in!" Wow, apparently I'm looking forward to being elderly. That's what children do to you, apparently. And apparently I really really like sleeping in (more than I thought!)

Hopefully some time before then I'll get to sleep in (I'd better!!). Though, as I recall, teenagers like to sleep in. Why, when I was a teenager I would go to bed at midnight on Friday and not roll out of bed until 2pm on Saturday. Somehow my parents tolerated this sort of behavior.

Trust me, I won't tolerate any such nonsense from my children. They're going to be up at nine on weekends, at the latest, to do chores (so that mommy can sleep in).

The last pic I'm laughing about not stepping in dog doo.

My sister-in-law: "Watch out for dog doo. Kate watch out for dog doo. Don't let the babies step in dog doo. Oh, there's some dog doo."

I feel a compulsion to explain the bemused expression on my face. Apparently it's my "don't step in dog doo" expression.
