But...

I love my kids.

I appreciate the chats we have before they drift off to lala land...that's when they sometimes tell me about their day and what they did in school or what their favourite friends did and so on...

But sometimes.

I can't help but think..

That the 1.5 to 2 hours I spend each night trying to get them to sleep.....including all the effort spent nagging and sometimes threatening them....

Could be better spent checking off the stuff on my to-do list.
