Shirley's rant - part II

Why do my kids have it out for me?

They literally don't sleep during the day time hours (between 7AM and 5:45)! Monday through Friday!

Aubrey is awake between 6:30 and 7:00 AM each day. She will entertain herself in her crib until I drag myself in to say good morning. She's up all day. She might take a nap if we're driving, but otherwise she's awake. She can barely hold her eyes open in the late afternoon, but she won't sleep. She doesn't want to miss out on any of the Sophia action. At 5:45 each evening she'll pass out for an hour and then she's up until 8:45 PM because she wants to see Daddy.

Sophia, on the other hand, is up and ready to go by 7:20 AM every day and doesn't stop all day. She'll be going on fumes and refuses to close her eyes. I've resorted to hanging a dark blue sheet across her blinds and light pink curtains to try to make the room darker, but she doesn't sleep during the day. Even during her quiet time alone in her bedroom I can hear her through the monitor and she'll play by herself for 45 minutes and then call to me. Because she doesn't nap she goes to bed between 7:00 and 7:30 and once her head hits the pillow she's done.

However - and here's the rant - Why is it that every single weekend they both take a nap when Will is "on duty" or we're both here?

AND here's my next rant: I just sent Will to Redbox to get a free movie and he came home with The Hulk.
