Day 16

The conspiracy against sleep continues. Helping a sick child at bedtime was not easy (Boot countdown: 7 more days!) but I found the silver lining: having only one child to get ready and drop off at school would mean a few extra minutes of sleep. 
Until the "healthy" child got up extra early, complaining of a sore throat. After expressing appropriate sympathy I sent him back to bed, but he was up just a few minutes later, with all the lights on, chatting at the cat and being in general FAR too chirpy for a Mama who was up late getting work done.

I'm normally dragging this guy out of bed by his toe.
