What am I doing?

It is no wonder that I was deathly ill on Monday. I stay up way to late trying to unwind at the end of the night.
I wish:
*That my mouth would stop hurting so I could devour the candy on top of the fridge. I hate the way it taunts me.
*Or watch something on T.V. I have a hard doing that. I'm afraid to wake up sleeping children.
*I could have an adult conversation with the one adult I want to talk to. (I know I can call friends during the day but sometimes it's nicer to talk to your boyfriend (my husband)
*Clean the house. But that has the same effect as watching T.V. someone will wake up.
I'm pretty sure I whine about this same topic once a month. HMMM?
The things I do love about the night:
*It's my time to reflect on how I'm going to be a better mom tomorrow, today wasn't one of my proudest days as a mother.
*Look at friends blogs that I haven't seen in awhile without someone asking if they can get on the computer.
*Or filling up shopping carts on online shopping and the just walking away. I find that more fun than actual shopping.
*Hearing the many noises in the house. Mostly Mike and the kids inhaling and exhaling. The clock ticking telling me to get to bed.
*Watching the cats get crazy. I have two cats but most of the day I only see one and often wonder where the other one goes. But when I come home at night they are feisty like little kittens even though they are pretty fat.
*Reading, I like how it's quiet enough for me for me to comprehend a sentence without having to re-read the sentence multiple times.
Then when my body is fully exhausted to roll into bed and snuggle.
(mom don't worry I don't feel sick anymore just some crazy bug.)

Yeah, I stay up way too late too. I always think I'll do better the next night... but don't.

And filling up online shopping carts. Ha! I do it too, I'll find all the cute bargins, fill it up, look at the total, realize I can't buy it and go find something else to do.

We are old folks here. Damon and I started a new workout that we are doing together which is killing me, and I have to drag my bootie out of bed at 5:45 to finish in it before school. My point being, I think the latest I stayed up this week was 9. One night I went up to bed at 8;30 and Damon was laughing. I said, "Are you kidding me, I have to sleep or no workout in the morning brother!" I love the nights though when the kids are fast asleep and it is so quiet!! It's so cute how your kids ski!!! I still have only been once. Miss you!

Hey do you have a recipes for cheesecake? I remember the time you brought some to work that was delicious and usually I hate cheesecake. If you have one that I could use I would love to try it. My husband wants some good cheesecake and yours was the one I remembered being so good.
