Let's say you stayed up really late because you were on mylot and just couldn't bring yourself to leave, even though you knew you were going to have to get up early in the morning.
If you're up later than usual, do you find yourself eating a late-night, early-morning snack? If so, what would it be?
Right now I'm eating a grilled cheese and tomato sandwich, I should have gone to bed at least 4 hours ago, and my baby is going to wake up and cry in about another 4 hours. =p

Heheh you are not alone in that. We have had a pie sitting in the fridge all week. Finally broke down and I'm having a slice. Blueberry and strawberry pie. It's different anyways. I know I shouldn't be eating this late and I try not to but every now and then it really sounds good.

Blueberry and strawberry pie, huh? That does sound pretty interesting.
I don't think I have to worry about eating late right now, as I haven't been eating much at all lately. In fact, part of the inspiration for getting up and having the sandwich was my husband warning me before he went to work that I'd better eat before I went to bed. So I had his orders as an excuse to munch! =p

Oh you have to love it when you have that type of excuse. The pie was pretty good actually. Had a sweet and sour taste to it. Of course can't have pie without whipped topping :) Well I try not to eat such food especially late at night before bed due to my weight but sometimes temptation is just too strong.

Yup, excuses are good. Did I say "excuse"? I meant reason, of course, because excuse makes it sound like I did something bad. *laughs*
I try not to eat at night usually too, because of weight concerns, but like you I think it's a hard time to resist temptation. Somethings about being up late just seems to require a snack. Now I wish I had pie, but I'm not going out in a blizzard to get any, so I'll just have to pretend. Mmmm... imaginary pie... =P

I stay up too late just about every night, and almost every night I am on here. I just enjoy the quiet after my family has gone to bed, and MyLot is entertaining so here I am.
And yes, I eat a snack, sometimes more, just about every night. If I get hungry, I eat, and because I am awake to realize I am hungry, I have to eat of I will hve trouble getting to sleep.
Most of the time I will have a couple of chocolate chip granola bars, but if I am really hungry I will usually have a sandwich and chips.
Now I have to take a break and go get something to eat.

Well I'm not really sure how healthy they are since they are filled with chocolate chips, but they sure are good.
I usually end my night with mylot. Between my husband, daughter, sister, neice, work, chores, and whatever else I have to do during the day, once everyone goes to bed, I take advantage of the quiet. Luckily I work from home so I can usually take a nap before I have to pick my duaghter up at school.
Your sleep paterns definately change once your child gets a little older. I remember the days when my daughter was an infnant and toddler, but now she is almost 9 and there are some serious benefits to that age.

Haha. Mmmm granola bars. That sounds fairly healthy too actually. =)
Wow, I wish I could be on mylot every night, but I would be a total zombie getting up at 5 am or so when my baby wakes up. I'm pretty zombified today actually.
