Why Moms Can’t Resist the Magic of the Midnight Hour

After a full day of teenage angst, sibling squabbles, and endless questions from a curious 11-year-old, peace has finally descended on my home.

It’s glorious.

All I can hear is the hum of the air conditioner and the occasional creaks of a house that is well used and well loved

This is the time that dreams are made of.

 

 

Or more accurately, this is the time I should actually be dreaming. Everyone else in my house is sound asleep.

But not me.

It’s not that I can’t use the sleep. I spend most of my days in an exhausted stupor. I have been known to doze off while standing with a cup of coffee in my hands.
