fun, time and sleeping kids.

Ever wanted to know what I do at night when I'm sure that both the kids are sound asleep and not going to get up for whatever reason? I knew you did, so here I am, letting you all in on my little world when the kids doze off to sleep.

First, I read a little of one of the books I'm currently reading.

Then I open a letter book my besty and I have been keeping since November 2004. I think about what to write in it, then I close it after only having read the last entry for the hundredth time and not having added to it.

Then I'll wander off down the hall to see how Eden is (because he's on his laptop doing some work.) More often than not, (like if he's stressed because he cant fix a problem) he's fine.

I go to the fridge to find something (I dont even need) to fill the tiny (its that small you can even tell its there) gap in my tummy.

Success! Instant pudding! (dont knock it til you try it, its actually not that bad.) Spoon, bowl, choo choo train into mouth. Walk away happy.

Then I'll see if the little green light on the computer is flashing telling me it's still on. If it is, I'll pull the chair out, sit down, turn on the screen and proceed to open the following pages;

1. Hotmail
2.Facebook
3. Whatever else my inbox tells me to open
4. Blogger

If the lights arent flashing, I'll go past the computer back to my room, pray, get into bed, then sleep.

Can you tell if the lights were flashing tonight or not?

Yes, they were flashing.

So here we are. Blogging. About every thing that has to do with nothing.

I might have a browse at what other bloggers have to say. That could be fun. But only if they have the same interests as me. Being a Mormon. Cultures. Photography. PHOTOGRAPHY!

I like it when people say they like photography. Im going to be a photographer one day. Even a commercial one. People who write photography in their interests fields, usually post photos they've taken up in their blogs. I usually have a sneaky look. That can be fun.

When I think of what I considered to be fun before the kids came along...I think, chatting away to Eden while driving around aimlessly late at night, all over town til we feel tired and want to go home. I think chocolate mud pie thingy from BK at 2am in the morning with the girls. I think road tripping to Hamilton with friends...that was back in the ra's.

Now, fun is tickling Asher and hearing her laugh like crazy. Its making houses out of giant lego pieces and picking "fa-le-wa's" (flowers) outside in the garden. Its coloring outside the lines in a Dora the explorer coloring in book. Its talking to Dallin and watching him pull his funny facials, and watching him respond to Asher when she talks to him.

It's nice to have alone time when the kids are snoozing, but I cant help it, Im either online talking about them, or looking at Asher's baby photos or putting away their clothes or something to do with them. So even my alone time's not MY time, its my "time to think about them" time. But it's cool. They're my kids and I love em!

Speaking of loving my kids, its definitely sleep time for me, so that in the morning, I can take care of them the way all good loving parents do. The alternative is for them to feed and tend to themselves while I sleep in which Im sure for them will NOT be fun...Kylie, out!
