Motherhood

When you have babies, you are up all night feeding them.

When they become a little older you are up all night quelling nightmares or taking temperatures.

When they turn 13, you lay awake at night wondering what happened to your once cooperative, fun loving child. 

When they turn 16 you are up late praying that they return safely and that you still have a car to drive in the morning.

After high school you loose sleep thinking about college loans.

When they leave home, you have more time to sleep, but you often don't. By that time your mind has been sleep deprived for so long a time it is stuck in that mode! 

So, you lay awake at night, just missing your babies. LOL
