go. to. sleep.

tonight was one of those nights when i had a billion things to do and the girls would NOT go to sleep. they were both soooo tired, but kept coming up with excuses to get out of bed and shout something at me down the stairs.

my newest tactic is to keep telling them i'll be up as soon as i finish XXX, but they need to be in bed for me to start the clock, as it were. tonight i only had to do it once, but i have had a few nights where it went on and on and on and on...
