Young people have it easy. Part 2.

I wrote a post awhile ago, read it here, about how easy young people have it.  That was based on something I wrote while working at Applebee's while on hold with some system repair person; that was a fun night.  This is the original piece that I wrote and I found it recently.

You young people in your teens and twenties couldn't handle getting older.  Sure, you can party all night and get up the next day after a nap and go to work without a problem, big deal.  I work all day, pick up my kids, cook dinner, clean the house, bathe the kids, read them a story and maybe then they can go to sleep.  I on the other hand am looking at what needs to be done before I can go to bed.  If I can go to bed, sometimes one of my children is sick or teething and I'll stay up with them; nothing against Team Edward but that is the only time an adult should be lurking in a child's bedroom watching them sleep.

Why am I posting this tonight?  I have a sick two year old and I've already checked on the kid twice in the past 90 minutes.
