Now that I have your attention, I would like to take this moment to say that the new hard drive for the laptop is on its way and I should be back to my irregularly scheduled blogging.  Obviously, I haven’t been posting every day like I usually do.  I feel like my absence really hasn’t been noticed, so whatev.  You heard me.  I said, “whatev.”

Really, though.  Have you missed me?

When I visited Aiden’s class on Monday for “All About Me Day” one of his classmates asked him if he liked to watch “rasslin” on TV. Aiden stared at him blankly and I had to say, “No, Aiden doesn’t watch wrestling.” The kid then proceeded to tell us that it comes on at 9:00 or 9:30. Aiden’s teacher gasped and asked what he was doing up so late. I was shocked, too. All of our kids go to bed between 8:00 and 8:30. The only day of the week that they get to stay up late is Wednesday night because we’re at church and my choir rehearsal runs until after 9:00.

So my question is this: What time does your first grader go to bed?

Aiden’s teacher was very firm when she told that kid, “Eight o’clock is a first grader’s bedtime.” And I agree.  Weigh in on the poll below and leave me a comment if you have anything to add.
