Later Than I Think

The problem is that Ruby has been waking up stupidly early in the morning. While the rest of us have been able to ignore this, Katie apparently can't. This means that she's been getting up and going downstairs to take care of the puppy, which -- while admirable! -- is leaving her short on sleep.

This came to a head tonight when a barrage of after-school activities meant that she had reached the really tired and cranky zone as we went over her spelling homework. Happily, we finally finished it.

And now she has gone to bed.

(Actually, she went to bed some time ago -- I'm just catching up on everything now. :) )
