Nodding off

I've been going to bed before 10 o'clock lately. I will take Evan upstairs to bed, and while I lay with him trying to get him to fall asleep, I doze off as well. He's been staying up later than usual since the time change, and try as I might he won't go to bed until it's dark out. So by the time we head to bed, I think we're both pretty wiped out. Mike will usually stay up until after midnight, watching tv or on the computer. He complains that I don't come back downstairs, but I think he secretly enjoys the quiet time to himself.

Mike came to bed around 1 tonight, and I've been up since. I laid awake for a few minutes before coming downstairs, and now here I am. It's much cooler down here than it is in our bedroom--it's been so long since I've been warm like that, I almost forgot what that was like. But we still have a few windows open, even in the middle of the night, and it's nice to feel a little breeze for once. Every year I'm amazed at how quickly we shift from winter to summer around here.

I know I'm going to be awful in the morning if I don't go back to sleep, but I am enjoying the quiet and the cool right now. Maybe I'll stay down here for a while. Watch for tomorrow's bitchy post if I do.
