Dear Kate,

You know the old adage "Don't count your chickens before they're hatched"?  Well, I updated it for parents:

"Don't count your child-free evening hours before the kids are in bed."
"Don't count your child-free evening hours before the kids are sound asleep."

yeah... maybe it should just be "Don't count your child-free evening hours."

Why was my baby bouncing off the walls at 10:30 PM?
Bora.
