Some nights (like tonight) I can feel my frustration and impatience boiling to the top and it's a mad rush to get grumpy kids into bed before I lose it. By the time they're brushing their teeth, we're so close. Just a few more minutes...
I soooo know what you mean! When my kids were too little to know better, they went to bed an hour early some nights when I had reached my limit. I'd purposely put them in bed, close their bedroom door, and vacuum the rest of the house so if they made a fuss, I wouldn't hear it. Usually, after i'd finished vacuuming (it was a small apartment - I could do the whole place in 10-15 minutes) they were asleep, the carpets were vacuumed and I was a new woman.
