Now I know how my parents felt on Christmas Eve with my brothers and me. Two of my children are old enough to where they don't care if Santa is coming tonight or not. If they are tired then they just go to bed. Preston is a different story. He's up, down, all around tonight. "I can't sleep." "I have to go to the bathroom." "I need a drink." The list goes on. I am beginning to think this night will last forever.
But the light bulb came on...lets give Preston some Benadryl. It worked when he was little why not try it now that he's 9. Craig couldn't find Benadryl so we settled on NyQuil. He swallowed it up like it was candy. I am counting the minutes to see how long it will take affect. I know what your thinking, but please don't think too bad of me. ;o)
Well, hopefully my solution to my problem has worked. We can put the presents under our tree and then hit the hay ourselves.
I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas!
It's Enough

I don't think less of you AT ALL for that. I do it myself! I do it for airplane rides, etc. Well, not anymore, but when they were little. "Oh, is that a sniffle I hear? You must need some benadryl!" HAHA.
I gave my 5 year old Nighttime Triaminic an hour ago (he actually needs it 'cause of a bad cough/congestion) but he's still here trying to make me play Handy Manny with him. Grrr. Maybe it's losing its magic.
