Two NASA-related parenting phrases you should begin using immediately
- “Missing the launch window.” Your kid is tired, but somehow you didn’t get her down to bed at the prime “falling-asleep” time. Now you’re left with a cranky kid who is tired but can’t or won’t go to sleep. This is not to be confused with…
- “Scrubbed launch.” You thought the kid was tired, but attempting to put her down for a nap resulted in her getting a “second-wind” of some kind.

I love it. I wonder if these also apply for a 15 y/o who sleeps until noon every day of Christmas vacation?
It’s funny the things you observe when you get a couple weeks off. One thing’s for sure – I have to give credit to my wife for being a stay-at-home Mom with two kids under the age of four. I definitely have the cushier job!
Very good.
