Is 4:30 too early to put the kids to bed????

Probably but I'm considering it today. I'm sick, got what the husband had over the weekend. He is better-ish now but he's out of town on business, perfect. Tuesday morning was my first sick morning and I got up with the kids only to find I could not be vertical and then fell asleep on the couch. When I awoke again I found the kids had dumped a whole box of Lucky Charms (generic version) out on the table and ate all the marshmallows, naturally, and now the dog had her feet up on the table eating the rest. And of course this-

If mom is sleeping on the job why not draw on our faces? Makes sense. Abi is also wearing two shirts and swimsuit, two pairs of pants, and a skirt. Toys were scattered everywhere, but still totally worth the extra sleep. Only another 24 hours till the husband gets home, counting down the seconds and hoping a laundry, meal making, cleaning, Christmas card addressing fairy appears. Please :)
