Have you seen my horns?

Bedtime can get stressful. The routine in our house is pretty simple. After the "I need a drink" and "I need a hug" excuses have been all used up, the kids hear my mantra.

"I turn into a monster at 8 o'clock, so go to bed."

My original transformation included a dirty look that could turn a child to stone. Now I also grow horns, or so I tell my kids.

A few mornings ago when my alarm sounded, I rolled over to press snooze turn it off and I rolled on top of Ian. "Ian, what are you doing in here," I muttered?

"I took the rest of the night in your bed, and I even saw your horns."

I hope they were scary enough to get him in bed on time tonight!

Ian is sneaky, all night in bed with mom and you didn't even know.

Are the horns because your Mormon or just a monster. I hear they both have them:)

LOL...I am loving the Ian stories. I see that he definitely keeps you on your toes.

Ha ha ha! Are you still wearing them?
I tell my kids I don't want to see, hear or speak to them between the hours of 10PM-6AM. They only bother Jason at night. Mom is too scary!!

I might have to ask Ian what they looked like. :)
