Buzz kill

Oh lord. The day after trick-or-treating has turned into a major buzz kill. Because it was on a school night, bedtime was pushed back by over an hour. Our kiddos are in such a schedule that this morning was a nightmare.

The sugar highs are all gone and the begging for candy every ten minutes begins. The constant "no's" are said to no end. The hour of lost sleep leads to melt down after melt down. Fit after fit. Tears and more tears. I was ready to fall asleep again at 6:58 am and not get up until tomorrow. However, a good mommy does her mommy thing and trudges through.

I know I'm not the only mom who is enduring this today. We will unite and stand strong. We will eat all the candy we want after kids are asleep and toss out our wrapper evidence! Oh-and thus begins the "who shoved those wrappers there? phase too!

So here I am. A buzz kill. The girls are in bed already. Our lights are dark as the boys fall asleep. Cheers to us all as we eat guilt free tonight!
The pure exhaustion.
