bedtime screw-tines - REAL TALK from the frontlines of single parent-dom

I realized now that this blog post sounds a lot more risque than it actually it. Its 8:36 here, and I've just plopped H in the tub. She will bathe, then I'll put a short movie on the Roku for her to watch while I shower. If I'm lucky, I might start a load of laundry after my shower cause clean clothes are good clothes. By then it'll be at least 9:00-9:15 and I'll turn the movie off (insert crying/wining/pleading), turn off the lights and hop into bed too. Yes, I sleep with my kid sometimes. In fact, most of the time we are co-sleepers, in a twin size bed to boot (perks of having to move home in your 20's due to the economy.) I realize she may sleep with me forever, I'm okay with it today and I live my life day by day. We will usually play Facebook games (love ya Zynga) or games on my phone til we get bored and I either call bedtime and pry the device out of her hands or she hands it off and turns over to pass out. Estimated sleeping time:10-11pm. I realize this is late, I get it. But I work 8-5 and I want to soak up my mom and h time. I wanted to post this for any momma who doesn't have a normal bedtime routine and feels like she needs to keep it a secret. Whatever works, works. I wish I had a more routiney routine cause mine feels kinda screwy, but today it works.
