Observations of an old guy

Xue Sheng

All weight is underside
I am sitting with my youngest so she can get to sleep and I hear my wife and my oldest talking. I remembered when I was little and lying in bed, because of my bedtime, and I would hear people talking, I would be thinking how great it would be when I could stay up late like everyone elseÂ…..now, many MANY years later, I find myself thinking. I wish they would be quit talking so I could go to sleep
 
Yeah...those days, when you sear you will turn the night into day...then you can't wait for 8PM t roll around so you can go to bed without being too weird...

Night John-Boy......

Growing up suck left butt cheek!
 
In the last 10 years I can remember the 3 nights I slept through the night;
1) the night after my youngest was born
2) the next night
3) a night 6 years ago when it was really really hot outside and I finally got the AC working in a room so my wife and kids could sleep and I slept in a room without AC..... and I have no idea why I slept through the night that time...but I did

That's all folks
