Just a Thought...Kids and Energy

I think I know where kids get all their energy.

They suck it out of all the adults around them. That's why you get so drained watching them.

Little energy suckers. Think about it. :)

  1. Aahh, yes, I have always said they suck the life out of you. Why oh why can't someone figure out how to bottle their excess for us to use. I just can't keep up. In fact, a big joke at my house, I tell my kids I am closed after 9 PM. They're like, you can't be closed, you're not a store, and I'm like, OH YEAH I AM CLOSED FOR BUSINESS. Last night my son asked me for something kinda late, and I was dozing and I couldn't remember this morning whether I dreamed it or not. hahaha

  2. LOL. I'm with you, sister LizaJane! I'm going to have to try your line about being closed for business. My sister uses a similar line about the kitchen being closed after a certain time. Love it!

  3. I too love the line "I'm closed for business after 9:00". I'll have to try it!
    I can just imagine all the projects, forms and homework completed or cookies & cupcakes baked that would have happened before the stroke of 9:00 PM. Brilliant!

  4. Wow, you all have more energy than I did. I quit parenting at 8:00! It became a real challenge when the kids no longer had that 8:00 bedtime. Fortunately for all of us, my wonderful husband took care of the middle of the night issues (most of the time) while I was busy sleeping.

  5. Oh, Kathy, you were so lucky! Yes, those later bedtimes are wearing me out....

    So, let's try it Cindy, the closed at 9 line!
