A Mommy Story

I think Cordy would probably like to watch the fireworks, but I don’t think it’ll happen this year, because my two girls turn into pumpkins at 9 pm. No matter where we are or what exciting event is happening, they cannot stay awake past 9 pm, and many times fall asleep earlier.

Normally they’re in bed by 7:30 pm at the latest. Cordy has always wanted an early bedtime, and Mira is following the trend. It makes it tough to do anything later in the evening, but it’s also nice to have a little time without them. Luckily the neighborhood fireworks display is very close by, so the girls can go to sleep in the evening, and Aaron and I can watch the show on our front lawn.

(Before you say how lucky we are, know that both Cordy and Mira are awake at 6:00 am or earlier every morning. I’d happily trade an hour later bedtime for an hour later wake-up time, but it never happens.)

To play along for Haiku Friday, follow these steps:

1. Write your own haiku on your blog. You can do one or many, all following a theme or just random. What’s a haiku, you ask? Click here.

2. Sign the Mister Linky below or at Jennifer’s blog with your name and the link to your haiku post (the specific post URL, not your generic blog URL). DON’T sign unless you have a haiku this week. If you need help with this, contact Jennifer or myself.

3. Pick up a Haiku Friday button to display on the post or in your sidebar by clicking the button at the top.

REMEMBER: Do not post your link unless you have a haiku this week! We will delete any links without haiku!
