I'm a rooster, not as in the chicken type, but of the sundown type. There comes a time of day, earlier and earlier all of the time, that I want to get in my chair , knit or read until my body says that it is ready to sleep. I'm ready to roost ! Don't need conversation, don't need to entertained, just want to be.
Some nights, however, do not go like that. Last night I was keeping Rachel's three children plus little Noah and everything was going so well, everyone was happy, cooperating, relaxed, watching a movie, baby playing, winding down for the night, just being sweet. Becca came and got him, it was all still good... movie was really cute and then it was 8:30. I didn't know that there was an order in which teeth were brushed. Wes doesn't usually go first, so I was told repeatedly, Grandmama's rules, "go anyway", not going to bed, "quess again", having a tantrum, "ok, but give me your glasses", I hope you are never the baby sitter again , to which I replied "ME,TOO!"
Never heard a peep out of the girls (wonder why) then the "other" Wesley came out of his room and said "Goodnight, grandmama, I love you" WHAT?
