Go To Bed Early

It's an amazing thing. My parents told me when I was younger that there would come a time I wished I could go to bed early. I just knew they were lying to me; trying to get me to go to bed so they could play games and watch tv without me getting in the way. Every child knows all the fun times happen when they're sleeping.

I recently discovered my parents were right. The time has come when 9:30 is past my bedtime. Not even CSI New York can entice me to stay awake. Homework, housework, and paperwork must wait for another day, because staying up late means waking up grumpy. It means cobwebs until 10:00 am and a nap after lunch.

So take my parent's advice. Early to bed and early to rise.
