Crunked Up

If you have read my blog for even a bit, you realize that boundaries are a struggle for me and Hubby as parents. It is all too easy for our children to convince us through debate to change our minds on certain rules. Not the important rules, we never bend on those, but those spur of the moment rules that every parent is familiar with.

For example, you may be us if....after an evening of eating fish tacos (yum) and watching classic "The Muppets Show" episodes starring the ever-witty Dom Deluis, your kids decline your sleepy request to go upstairs and put themselves to bed. Instead, the wee one keeps thrusting hands in your robe because he is "brrrr" and the older two start the all too familiar pleading..."can't we sleep here?" and "we want to sleep with you"...until you realize that it is 4:30 in the morning and your entire family, three cats included, have just spent the night sleeping upright on the loveseat.

Hubby still got up for his run. It is not a misnomre that he is labeled "World's Greatest Man" by more than a few women.
