I have lots to write about but very little time these days.
One thought that won’t go away: how on earth do teenage boys sleep sooo much?
WB started Orientation this week for his summer job and the girlfriend was leaving on Thursday for the cottage for a coupe of weeks. The boy has been burning the candle at both ends since Sunday. Getting up at 6am for work, not coming home til after 1am from hanging out with friends.
He came home from work today at 1pm, called me at work and according to my Aunt Siobhan, ate like he hadn’t eaten in days and went to bed. I woke him at 6pm for dinner. Again, the kid eats like its his last meal. By 8pm passed out on the couch. I can guarantee he will sleep thru the night and well past 10am tomorrow.
I know he’s still growing and teenagers are suppose to sleep more than the average person according to medical research, but come on. Factor in the 4 hrs this afternoon, the 2+ hours so far tonight…he’ll surpass 12 hours at about 5am.
He amazes me.
My teen, Miss Thing, slept til past 3pm the other day – 14+ hours. So it’s not just teenaged boys. I’m in awe of their sleeping skills.

Would that we all could sleep that way on occasion.
