I Don't Wanna Go To Sleep...
I like playing ...but it keeps me up past my bedtime.
Watching TV, Computer stuff, exercise/treadmill, snacking...overall goofing around.

I stay awake even if I'm tired so that I can have at least one part of my day that I'm not being "Mom".

When you start falling over, it must be bed time!

I've always been a night owl.... my hubby works nights....I have a teenager, so I don't have to hold his hand thru the day & night anymore...I'm a housewife.... so I stay up as late as I want.
I generally go to bed around 4 am.... wake up at 6:30 to double check that kiddo is awake for school...then go back to bed until hubby gets home from work...between 10 am - noon. During the day, I tend to keep the house quiet.... do my best cleaning after 11 pm.... ;D

I'm a night owl and love the peacefulness of the evenings. It's like having the whole world all to myself. Back when Molly kitty was a baby she'd try so hard to stay up with DH and I and she'd sit at the end of the bed with her little eyes closing and her head nodding... she'd go to fall over and catch herself and open her eyes like "I'm not sleeping!". She is so cute! I miss that tiny baby, but I love her full grown self even more.  |

Evenings after the kids are in bed are the only times a Mom has to herself. (Not to mention you don't have to fight the kids for the computer!)

Ohhhhh, I really like that, BeenThere! The crickets and the cicadas and the froggies in the pond - the birds crying out at night... pure heaven!

...yeah, but I've learned the gnats really like my laptop screen when I've sat out back... and I don't think they make a yellow version... so you gotta bring the citronella candles out, too...  |

I find it very hard to go to bed when I'm reading a really good book. I can find myself staying up until after 4am. Fortunately, I no longer work and I can nap during the day.
When I was working, there were times that I brought things home to do on the computer. I found that if I put on music, the time would just fly and, before I knew it, it was 3am. I used to get to work by 7:30, so I would be seriously sleep deprived.

I don't bring my laptop, but I sure do bring my wine. The little stinkers drown themselves in my wine. Pfffft. Like that will stop me from drinking it! Oh, and I have my tiki torches full of the citronella oil and the deer still come up to eat when I have them on. |
