What I’m up against

Posted on October 29, 2007 Written by Diane

Tonight, I told the kids they had to get into bed. 

I reminded them of why it’s important to get a good night’s sleep. “This morning I had two sleepy kids I couldn’t get out of bed for love nor money,” I said.  

Sophia’s mouth dropped open. “You didn’t offer us money!”  

As soon as I could make myself stop laughing, I sent her upstairs to bed.
