Do you remember how you slept before you had kids? We went to bed late and slept so soundly and so late. Now, after having kids, we go to bed early and exhausted and then get up early after sleeping with one eye open all night listening to the baby monitor or for your teenager to come home by curfew. I remember someone telling me, you'll never sleep the same after you have a child. Boy, is that true!
As the years go by, it becomes habit for us to wake up early and then something changes. Those days of waking up early to care for them vanish. You are prying them out of bed in the morning, rushing like crazy and in a panic to get them to school on time-- half the time eating their breakfast in the car. When the weekend comes, they sleep till noon. My kids always woke up early. I never thought I would see the day that they would sleep so late. Now, I'm waiting for the day that I start sleeping in again. Will that ever happen?

Thanks,
Cindi
dear vanna, hi once again, i know that i used to do the same thing when i was younger, i used to sleep in until almost 10am when i was younger, but now that i'm 40 yrs old now i get up at 7:00 am everyday now and go to bed at 10:00pm at night but yes you are right again. when you do have kids at any age you have to get up early to get them to school everyday and get things started too. so thanks for the advice for all of us people about your subject. its worth it. thanks. also thank you and pat sajak for being inspirational people on tv. your advice makes our world easier to manage. thanks vanna. you rock! love ya! god bless you both. love your long-time wheel watcher of 27yrs, anne-mariem. gething. ps love ya! kiddo.

Dear Vanna:
I have watched the show from day one. Your Uncle, Christopher George was my favorite actor growing up. I always talk about your early years, your family and Chris and Lynda Day George. I think you are very beautiful & talented & the WHEEL makes every day special for me & my family. God Bless You!
I so enjoy the few minutes youand Pat end the show with and I agree 100% about the coffee cup seam, I do it all the time....thanks for being so real to us all. Your fan, Kippy Gannon, Burlinton, MA
Yes, I can sleep until 10am now that my son has his diver's license and can get to school on his own.....but, the three dogs bark when they need to go outside, so chidren aren't the only sleep problems.
