The Luke Family: Happenings of our Life!: I love the nightlife, I like to boogie

I love the nightlife, I like to boogie

True story. The night and I have a love/hate relationship. I am a total night owl. I grew up in a family of night owls (excluding my unfortunate father, who had to endure our late night shenanigans). Thus, being a mother is hard because I am extremely sleep deprived and long for sleep, and yet when the night comes, all I want to do is stay up and do... stuff. Anything really. Chores if I could! Which I can't, because I would wake my kids up. Every night I think "tonight I'm going to bed early" and every night I stay up. A normal person would probably think "well, someday my kids will grow up and I can stay up late again because I'll actually be able to sleep once I go to sleep. So till then, I just need to go to bed at a normal time." Instead I think "well, someday my kids will grow up and it won't be so hard to stay up. So till then, I'll just be really tired." I need help ;)

Kristen and Alex said...: Ha....you're funny. Alex and I are both people that like to stay up late, but he has to leave for work super early and I have the same problem as you. So we go to bed by 10 every night. It is hard, but I LOVE my sleep too much. You just gotta go to sleep. It's nice to feel well rested.; April 3, 2011 at 10:09 AM
Colleen said...: You and I are SO the same in this way. And while I make every attempt for early bed, I just can't do it. So sleep deprivation it is! Good to know I'm not the only one!; April 3, 2011 at 8:16 PM
*ehu. said...: Oh I LOVE nighttime. There's just something about a dark, quiet house that makes me giddy! Plus, I think I'm a night owl as well.; April 18, 2011 at 10:07 PM

RANDOMNESS

Aubin's 2 new favorite phrases: "oh no" and "oh my," both said with extreme dramatic intent! Mom's new favorite development: I can now ask Aubin to clean up his room or put his toys that are downstair in his room upstairs.... and he does it! Now that is what I call AWESOME. Aubin's take on "Tigger": "Tiga-tiga-tig-r" Aubin: "No! No! Nooooooooo!" Randomly. No one near him. Just for fun apperently. Funny kid. "Oh Mimi." Aubin always says this in the most pathetically cute voice when he's hurt or just wants attention. It's pretty cute. Not to mention comical. "Les-h-oh." How Aubin says "let's go" which he says to me every morning right after "ea!" (Eat) Aubin has discovered how to untie his shoe laces, eventhough they are double knotted, and we're still unsure of how he does this. His new favorite activity is now to untie his shoes, and then sit for an hour or so re-lacing them over, and over, and over... Whatever floats your boat! Sometime at the end of March, while non-chalantly walking by, I said "oh Aubin, I love you." And kept walking. To my surprise Aubin responded "Lu-you, my momma!" Heart melt. Aubin hands me things every now and again and says "thas for YOU." What a little helper. When people come to our home, or really any front door, Aubin loves to run over and tell them to "come IN! Come IN!" Who can resist that? Our new favorite thing is when we're talking to Aubin and we'll tell him we love him or something like that and in a totally calm and nonchalant voice he replies (often very quickly) "your CRA-AZY." Where'd he even get that?
