Bedtime torture

What is it with husbands?

He walks in the door at 5 minutes until 8:00 pm, which is the girls bedtime. Now, I am not bitching about how late he was because I know that today was a good friends last day on the ship and they took him out to "play" after work, so fine. But, he comes in here right at bedtime and tells the girls he will play starry (that is what 5 year old girls named Sydney and Savannah call Mario Galaxy on the Wii in case you didn't know). They love to watch him play because they are not quite able to do this game on their own yet. He KNOWS that every time he plays this they turn into complete spazes!

So, he gets them totally hyped up right before bed.

Then to top it off he tells them that the ship picnic is tomorrow. Then they have 5 million questions ("Will there be food? Can we make daddy fall in the dunk tank? Will there be cotton candy? When will we go? Will be see purple Savannah? . . . and on and on and on) and they get all hyped up just thinking about it. We had told them about the picnic that was coming up a few weeks ago, but they had forgotten about it with the other stuff we have had going on, which rarely happens, and he had to go and remind them right before bed. I have to wonder some days if this man is insane!

Needless to say bedtime was complete torture. Thanks honey.

They REALY are clueless about all that is necessary to keep things running smoothly at home. REALLY. It has nothing to do with yours being out to sea all the time- it must be in the genetic make up or something. I say that as half mine are still up watching tv or playing on the computer while HE is zzzzz'ing it in the bedroom already :-) Hey, it's Friday. Give me a break too! +Amy
