Tomorrow, after more than a week of vacation, school will open again which means we need to gather ourselves and go back to the usual routine. Early to bed to be able to leave home at 7:30 and send Pristine to school. Traffic had been heavier than usual lately so I am not sure if with that schedule I’ll arrive in my office before 8:30 so tomorrow is a test.

Anyway, we tried to get her to bed at 9 pm, a little bit late than planned. And all know how she responds to that.

Of course that would mean the rest of the adult population in our house has to go to bed, too. Boo hoo, no internet time for me until she sleeps! Hubby is sick so it wasn’t an effort for him to go to bed. Me? I lay down in the dark room, (im)patiently waiting for the tot to sleep. 10 minutes, 20,30..still I can see her eyes wide open. I told her if she’s not going to sleep, then we’ll not take her to school tomorrow (translated: if she’s not going to zzzz then there’s no internet and blogging time for mommy!).

I don’t know what happened after that.

Then I woke up to her moaning and saying “hot!”. Our a/c stopped working!The horror. I got up, checked the a/c settings and returned to the room to change her wet shirt. Looked at the clock and realized that I have slept for at least 2 hours.

I only pretended to sleep so she’ll sleep and once that happens, I’ll sneak out of bed to blog - which is what I am doing right now, only, I planned to wake up earlier than this wee hour of half past midnight!!
