Counting Sleep

I’ve just spent the morning in an indoor playcentre. I’m not normally one to head to these indoor padded sticky cells, but I’m at week five… maybe six without a day off with my hubby, so the idea of sending my kid nuts in a primary coloured pen made me grin.

And fellow parents, I’m sure you know what that grin is about. It’s the grin of knowing that everytime your kid jumps on that indoor trampoline, they will sleep for another two minutes. Everytime your kid hoons around on the indoor car, you’ve got an extra five minutes up your sleeve. Everytime your kid smashes their entire body into the jumping castle, you’re looking at ten, maybe fifteen minutes of silent night. So after two hours, I was rubbing my hands with glee at the thought of a few hours to myself while my kid snoozes hard in his bed.
