So it was March Break here this past week and....I'm sleep deprived. My teen kids just can't get to bed at a decent hour (Mom, it's only 11 pm!) and I can't sleep when they are out of the house until late. Once they come home, my body can relax and I can finally get to sleep. Is it only me or do other parents with teens go through this?
Oh, and it's Daylight Savings Time so we lost an hour today! I'm going to have to start napping to catch up. *Sigh* Hope you all had a great week.

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is a place to meet up and share what you have been, are and about to be reading over the week. It's a great post to organise yourself. It's an opportunity to visit and comment, and er... add to that ever-growing TBR pile! So welcome in everyone. This meme started with J Kaye's Blog and then was taken up by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn at the Book Date.

Hope you all have a great reading week.
The time change always messes with me. I wish we'd pick a time and stick with it. Book Towns looks really good.
ReplyDeleteIt messes me up too. But spring time change is worse than the fall one.
DeleteI've never been a mother but I've seen mothers from my family exactly the same and can't relax till their children are home. Enjoy your reads this week.
ReplyDeleteIt's not just you... trust me. :) Something about teenhood and suddenly needing to stay up super late! Course I did it too but that was different. :)
ReplyDeleteIsland Games was written by a twelve year old? Wow. And Hindsight looks promising, I'm always a sucker for time travel.
Have a great week!
Yeah, I did it too and somehow it was different in our day. Of course, it was different. :-)
DeleteNot you at all. You never stop worrying about them. My son is an adult and always out of the country.
ReplyDeleteTeenagers do love to stay out late. My mother had put a bell on the door so she could hear when my brothers would get in - like she was asleep anyway. :)
Take care, and I hope you have some wonderful naps this week. :)
I'll be one of those moms who will never stop worrying. My kids do come in and say goodnight, no matter how late they come home, for which I'm grateful.
DeleteI hope you can catch up with your sleep. I know the feeling very well.
ReplyDeleteSpoken like a mom...
DeleteI hate the time changes! And, as for teens, I remember it all very well. Not very much sleep, as I couldn't nod off until they came through the door after being out driving, etc.
ReplyDeleteYour books look tempting, especially Book Towns. Thanks for visiting my blog, and have a great week.
Ah, so I'm not the only one. That's reassuring!
DeleteI wish my teenager would leave the house more, not because i don't love to spend time with her, but I think it would be good for her to do more things with friends.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your books!
My son is more of a home body but my daughter is a real social butterfly.
DeleteNice variety of books. I'm a night owl. 11 PM is the earliest I go to bed and it's often well after midnight. This time change didn't bother me. It helps that I'm retired and don't need to get up at a specified time. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI do envy you your retired schedule, that's for sure! :-)
DeleteNice variety. These days my work schedule makes it hard for me to stay up past 9pm on weekends and weekdays.
ReplyDeleteBook Towns looks fantastic
I'm ready for bed at 9pm too on some nights and if I do fall asleep, I will always wake up to check on my kids and make sure they are getting to bed at a decent hour.
DeleteI remember those days when the kids stayed up later than me. Wasn't prepared for it but my hubby and I survived :)
ReplyDeleteLOL, I'll survive too then.
DeleteHopefully you get more sleep this week. Enjoy your new books. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
My teen only stays up late when he's working on AP homework. In a couple of weeks he'll be traveling on a school trip. I'll probably be a nervous wreck for that.
ReplyDeleteBook Towns looks cute. Come see what I'm reading
Yeah...school trips are hard too. I've been there!
DeleteGot to love the time travels. And Island Games by a 12 year old? Remarkable. Hope you get some sleep this week...along with Happy Reading!
ReplyDeleteI've read a few misses with time travel lately but it doesn't stop me from seeking others out. :-)
