When you plan on having a crying kid be your alarm, things might not work out quite right. I left my plums dehydrating last night. They needed to shut off about 1:30 or so. Owen usually wakes up and beats on his gate about that time, and gets his second sleep med. I figured everything would work out perfectly.
Simon woke up first, so I stumbled around and looked at the clock. It was 4 am. That was the most sleep I had gotten in a couple months. For that I am thankful! But, my plums didn't turn out so well. They were definitely dried out.
Hard, crisp and not much fun to eat. Thankfully, there was a quick fix. I put a handful in a sandwich bag just to test my theory. I added a few drops of water, and sealed it up for about 10 minutes. When I opened it up, the plums were rehydrated just a bit.
This time they were softer, and much better to chew on. The kids all approved. So it was a win-win morning. I got lots more sleep than normal. And I saved the plums!
Do you ever use your kids as alarm clocks?
