Just in case you were wondering...

about the time stamps of these posts... the eldest is having a sleepover with multiple guests.

Which, of course, contains no sleep, and is more or less a completely defensible excuse for multiple homicide. Or proof that in past and present lives, I've been a terrible, terrible human being.

So yes, it is 4am. And yes, the children are awake. And no, nothing good has ever happened at 4am. And this will never, ever happen again...
