So Audrey and I were reading in the living room by the fire last night. Toben and Emma were snuggled up in bed and I had no idea what time it was.
At one point, Audrey opened up my computer to check the time--7:48 p.m. So we kept on reading for a while, then I said, "Time for bed--it must be 8:30 by now."
She checked the time again--9:48. What?! I knew it hadn't been two hours. So she ran to the kitchen to check the big wall clock. 8:45.
By this point I was totally confused. (And I'm sure you are too!)
I sent her upstairs to jump into bed and checked the clock in the kitchen myself while I let Daisy out one last time. 9:45.
When she'd opened the computer the first time, it was still showing the time it was when I shut the lid--she didn't wait for the time to adjust.
Needless to say, I freaked out a little.
First, I was awake. Wide awake. And it was almost 10 o'clock--a time I usually only see in the A.M.
Second, it was 9:45 and Audrey was still awake. Wide awake. ON A SCHOOL NIGHT!
I think I'll let her sleep in as late as possible this morning. And let her have some coffee with her breakfast.
Oops! I guess you solved your predicament of not being able to stay up until 9 PM. Hope you both get to bed early tonight.

Wow that's not a common thing in the Heim household, I'm sure! This is a pretty funny entry!

Just put everyone to bed extra early tonight so you can catch up! You must be reading something good...what is it?

I never wear a watch anymore and hardly ever know what time it is...I guess that explains a lot about me. Oblivious... (Cough) Ahem.

I stopped wearing a watch for a year to see if it would "mellow me out" a little. It didn't work...I kept looking at my wrist...so now I'm wearing a watch again. Ha...I figure, if you're going to look at your wrist there might as well be a watch there. I also would like to know what you are reading that is soooo interesting!

Why did the kitchen clock say 8:45?
You know I'm smiling at you and your early-to-bed ways. :)

You lost me at...
"And it was almost 10 o'clock--a time I usually only see in the A.M."
But you got me again with the coffee at the end ;-)
Hope it didn't throw everyone off too much!
