Sleeping is great! I love to sleep, but my 3-year-old is not a fan — getting up bright and early every day at 6 a.m., sometimes earlier. Occasionally, she will “sleep in” until about 6:45, and there was one Saturday morning she slept until 7:15. My husband and I still talk about it. We also

My dog has a problem and, by extension, I have a problem. Basically, he’s too high-strung and could probably benefit from psychotherapy of some sort.
