I am a late person, so now I enjoy staying up late. Like right now it’s almost midnight and I won’t be in bed until at least 1:30 am. That’s the great thing about being retired, you get up when you want to, early or late.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-72170842045892452882011-06-15T17:49:56.013-07:002011-06-15T17:49:56.013-07:00Leashes are perfect when you need to keep kids tog...Leashes are perfect when you need to keep kids together!

It gives you some idea of where you're going. <br /> Those poor little kids on leashes! I'm a free ranger myself. I realize these kids are tied together for safety. How many rebellious little people are just bursting to get out of the straight jacket? Kids need some space and freedom.Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996243850279671523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-4057659271900633542011-06-15T15:47:36.644-07:002011-06-15T15:47:36.644-07:00Your schedule sounds wonderful to me.

I think those leashes are great when trying to deal with so many little ones. <br /><br />Having a morning routine is good, it keeps the day balanced.

God bless my monkey leash-it's a life saver when you're walking with a toddler who's liable to dart out into the street.
