Suburban Oblivion

That I used to laugh at my parents for going to bed at 9:30 or 10pm.

Apparently I was an ‘up with the sun’ child too, because I’m not laughing anymore. In fact, at 9:20pm, I am heading to bed myself.

Saaaaaaaad, isn’t it?

Since Brendan missed the memo the first time around, can someone please email him and let him know that 6am is NOT a good time to get getting up on a Saturday? My blood doesn’t even begin circulating until 7am, but somehow I got stuck with 3 kids who think nothing of getting up at 5:30-6am and starting to demand juice, breakfast, cartoons, and whatever else suits their fancy while I am still stumbling and braindead. I wish I were a coffee drinker, I need the caffeine this early in the morning. Pepsi please, make it a double.
