They Somehow Always Know

How do kids seem to know when you want to go somewhere or when you have a busy day planned.  They either sleep too long or they wake up crying.

I know when both girls were little, it seemed that whenever we had somewhere to be at a specific time they would both take longer than normal naps.  Some days they even took an “extra” nap just to assure that we would be late.  I don’t know how they do it.

Now today, the Big One has preschool, and I will be hanging out for a Mother’s Day breakfast at the preschool.  Then I have to get home, pack the car for a weekend in San Diego.  After the car is packed go back to preschool to pick up the Big One. Then come home to get the dog (it’s too hot to leave her in the car when I pick up the Big One).   Once we are all then loaded in the car we begin the 200 mile drive to San Diego for the weekend.

{Makes you tired just reading it, huh?}

No today my children are not still sleeping, instead they both woke up screaming and crying.  From day one I learned when a kiddo wakes up crying it’s going to be a long day.  So wish me luck as we embark on our adventures!
