Both Elliott and Emmett had a helluva time sleeping last night, they did eventually fall asleep. Lizze and I have decided to try a later bedtime of 9pm, in hopes of resolving these bedtime struggles we've been having.
Last night I think the problem was that we had a rather loud thunderstorm come through and the boys don't like storms.
By the time the boys actually fell asleep, it was close to midnight before Lizze and I could clock out for the night. By *clock out* I mean simply being able to exhale from a really long day.
Neither one of us were able to just go to sleep. We caught a couple episodes of *Hell's Kitchen *before we retired for the night.
We need some *me time *and it's important that we have the time because we need to at least try and unwind at the end of the day, even if it means we chew into sleeping. I know of that seems counterintuitive but it's just the way it is.
