N is for Nights

When I was younger, nights seems to drag on forever.  I could stay up all night.  They were great except when you're trying to get to the other side like Christmas morning.....now, it seems the night just appears before i'm ready, then there just isn't enough of it and morning comes way too soon and most of my nights are spent waking every hour or two to listen for the kids, checking on dogs, making sure the hubby is still breathing in a regular pattern.....nights.  I hope someday i get to enjoy them again!
