DH riles them up by watching AFV and wrestling or tickling the girls and that gets me riled up by saying.."QUIET TIME" to no avail. <br />The tea sounds good though with a shot following but the alcohol is 2+ ww points.LOL<br />Hugsamyjrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06399111073374897970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5314917761990865938.post-68527722132250052132010-04-22T12:42:38.648-04:002010-04-22T12:42:38.648-04:00You are completely right.

And by that time of night my hubby has MAYBE a fraction of an ounce of patience left so I am not only trying to calm the boys down and get them into bed I am trying to keep Todd from exploding. Egad. Maybe I should get Todd to start drinking tea!Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14339665205284492242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5314917761990865938.post-88755839478294231512010-04-22T12:28:28.569-04:002010-04-22T12:28:28.569-04:00Good idea!

They do it fairly quick when they know they still have 30 minutes to go downstairs and play some more before bedtime. Then all we have to do is come up and get into bed.<br /><br />-CAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5314917761990865938.post-54665567967721096812010-04-22T10:42:00.686-04:002010-04-22T10:42:00.686-04:00Whatever gets you through the night!

I must say, you have much more patience that I do -- you wait 20 minutes for your child to pick out a book?!<br /><br />That gives you the God-given right to be off duty!!!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07840547941371689473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5314917761990865938.post-71882914995042177962010-04-21T17:40:37.366-04:002010-04-21T17:40:37.366-04:00I occasionally bring a glass of wine to drink duri...I occasionally bring a glass of wine to drink during the kid's bath time.

I was reading to them all day long (I love to read aloud), so bedtime was for sleeping. Get in bed. Go to sleep. No lingering. I'm with ya. By bedtime I was DONE.Fleahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03412755038083750088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5314917761990865938.post-15896702028858619072010-04-21T12:41:30.554-04:002010-04-21T12:41:30.554-04:00I love the "We are done"! ~Aldee's F...I love the "We are done"! ~Aldee's Friend MaryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5314917761990865938.post-13616493359799097512010-04-21T11:47:00.208-04:002010-04-21T11:47:00.208-04:00Ha!

Unfortunately, my 8 yr. old now asks why I am drinking beer if it's not good for you, and my 3 year old begs to smell it because she thinks it smells "yummy!" I may need to re-think my drink of choice!Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00729446248649611276noreply@blogger.com
