4. I am in total control. I think.

5. We'll just start over tomorrow.

9. This kid is out to get me.

10. If he falls asleep now I'll get five hours and 55 minutes of sleep.

11. If he falls asleep now I'll get five hours of sleep.

25. 2:30 a.m. is definitely the perfect time to be wide awake playing with a stuffed pterodactyl — I wouldn't dream of doing anything else at this insanely late hour than playing with this pterodactyl with you.

26. I might as well try to get to the next level of my fave game while I'm up.

27. Go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep, sleep, sleep, you don't understand how tired I am, please, please, please go to sleep, sleep, sleep.

30. Am I doing this whole parenting thing wrong?

31. Are all pillows this comfortable?

32. OK, I think I can actually relax.

33. Is it morning?! Did they sleep through the ENTIRE night? AHH! What's wrong?

34. Aw, they're so precious when they're actually sleeping — OMG...they're still sleeping!

35. I'm a rock star. I'm a freaking rock star!
