1 and 3 may be a bit young for sleepovers

I'm tired. I've been getting up and hitting the gym before 5:30 for 3 weeks now in an effort to move the stalled scale. It's working, but I'm not sure how long I can keep up the 6-workouts-per-week schedule. More sleep and more snuggles would also be healthy. On the other hand, I've been wearing all these clothes that have been in storage since 2007. It feels like shopping with none of the effort or expense. :)

( blah blah blah )

What I really want is some adult time. That's going to be even more important as the school year wraps up and I'm with these characters all day. I want to go to a grown-up party, but either those don't happen, or we don't get invited anymore, or they happen without much notice so we can't get babysitting. I'm SO READY for our London/Wales trip--I asked James this morning if we could go today, but he said no. Maybe a weekend in Centralia? Hell, one night in Burien. I just need some time to be an adult and a wife and get a little less exhausted. (And yes, we just had date nights two weekends in a row so I shouldn't complain, but I think it takes longer than 5 hours to recover from Intense Parent Mode and relax and enjoy each other.)

How long before we can start trading off slumber parties?
