Are you suffering from High Craft? I'm working. Working that mouth. Hi, everybody. I'm Amy Earnhardt, and I'm here with my husband, Dale, at the Dirty Mo Media Studios for another great episode of Bless Your Heart.

We have some fun stuff to talk about today. is here and the girls are out of school, which is hard for us. We just had the Earnhardt premiere we're trying to talk about and have some fun games as well, so let's get started. Get back to school, kids. Go back. That's great. Phenomenal. Kids are out. That's hard. It's so hard. No nanny, no school. What are we doing? Well, should we talk about our drink? This one is actually really, really good. Yes. Oh, have you tried it already? Yeah, I've been sipping on it. I'm sipping on yours. Yep. So today's drink is the high rock

a Rita. Yes. And you can imagine it's a little one of my favorites. A little twist on a margarita. This weekend at Nashville Super Speedway, the high rock house is back. So at the racetrack house will be open to anyone with access to the infield of turn four at the track. So if you're at the racetrack and you want to go get a drink,

go over to the High Rock House in the infield over by turn four, they'll be serving drinks, they'll be giveaways. Carson Quappell's going to be out there on Friday evening to sign autographs. Amy and I are probably going to stop by. Amy, you've decided maybe to go this weekend.

I'm trying to work out dog care. Right. So, yeah, we've got a couple dogs that have, yeah. So, But I'll be almost I'm a little drop by I'm not sure when but I got to go check it out The High Rock House sounds like a lot of fun and this is the drink of the week at the High Rock House as well so you'll get to have a High Rock Rita as well all ages are welcome but you must be 21 and over to drink one of the cocktails available is this High Rock Areta

that we're going to be enjoying today so let's explain how you make it this is one of the shortest recipes, three ounces of high rock vodka, three ounces of margarita mix, and one ounce of orange juice. You can put a lime wedge in there. I don't give a shit. You can put a grape in there, whatever cherry. You can put an orange slice. You can garnish with whatever the hell you want. I don't garnish, but put it whatever the freak you want in there. You match your socks to your shirt, but you don't garnish your drinks. I got it. Did I? You usually do.

Yeah. I got some new socks. Man. You ever do a little, you ever do one of those, it's probably for the guys more than the ladies, but you ever do one of those sock audits? Sock audits? Yep. Where you, uh, you know, all of us, we just, we buy ankle socks in a batch, right?

Everybody, you're like, damn it, I need some new ankle socks. It's been a while. I'm missing this one and missing that one. They get lost in the washer or what have you. And then every year or so, you do a sock audit where you open up your sock drawer, you throw out all the old shit, you get on Amazon, and you buy you a new batch. And you buy like the cheapest shit you can find. And it comes in like a deal of the day.

Yeah, it's like $12 for a 30 pair. And you get them and you're like, hell yeah, new socks. The new ones you got are like spongy and soft. Yeah, they're super soft. Yeah, women don't do really, well, I don't do a sock audit because I hardly ever wear socks. I mean, it's a boot only situation for me. My friend, Steve LaTartre told me, he was like, I don't wear one pair of socks twice. What?

He's like, I throw away. I wear our sock and I throw it away. I was like, really? And so. I heard Britney Spears does that with her underwear, wears them once, throws them away. That's interesting. Yeah, that's probably good for her. Hey.

Hey. So I won't, I'm not going to, I'm not throwing my socks away. I'll get a couple, couple, uh, wears out of them. But man, when the bottom start to get a little dirty, because I take my sock, I'll wear my socks outside. Like at the house. Amy, so I used to walk around with shoes on all day. I don't like the shoes in the house because especially when we had the little kids, like they're crawling around the floor. Everything goes in their mouth.

Their hands are touching on the floor. That hand's going in. their mouth. And it's like, take shoes off. He's like, we went through the whole thing with that. But now he's wearing his socks, his house shoes and everything else outside. And he thinks that's a loophole. I'm going to come in. But since it's not a sold shoe, then I, you know, I found, I found my loophole. I can just wear my socks inside. So now I am throwing out socks quite often because, you know, concrete outside and so forth is tearing up these cheapos. I'm getting from. Why can't you just use your feet to walk outside? Yeah.

Yeah. What? Cows. It's dirty. Cows. That's what they're for, man. Cows. Well, listen.

I don't know how we got on the sock audit conversation, but we were talking about High Rock Vodka. And make sure we read this tagline it says here. Visit highrock vodka.com to find a bottle near you. So people ask us all the time where you, where to get this vodka. My store don't have. I went to the local liquor store, couldn't find it. Go to high rock vodka.com and there's a finder on the website. It'll tell you to go to X store.

It's in this town or it's down the street. Remember to drink responsibly be 21 or over. You can also order the vodka and have it shipped to you. In some states. And some states will not allow that. That's just, I think you already know that if your state doesn't allow you to ship liquor in. I don't know a shit about that, but I'm just going to embellish and say most states will. It is most states.

It is. Most states. So I'm encouraging you to try it. I ordered some and had it shipped to my sister in Texas. So it's very easy to do. You can order one bottle. You can order a case. And the shipping's not too bad.

If you drink vodka or if you like to have a bottle around, there's not a better quality product than high rock vodka. I would put it up against anything. Amen. Huh? I said, amen. Amen. Yeah.

I said, damn it. Like, hell yeah. Say it. Say it again, Ralph. Yeah, say it again. Well, so I have a confession today. I find this to be carmic. Carmic.

All right, Amy had a confession last show. I was flustered and ran into the garage door because of Mr. Mom. What happened to you? Well, this has never happened before, but I backed my truck into the detached garage. We have a bank of garages attached to the house where we park. And then there's another garage on the... It runs parallel. Yeah, it runs parallel to...

That's where we... I keep a truck and a car in there too and a golf simulator, but I backed into it. So, backing out of my garage to leave, I have to turn, and I didn't turn enough. I've never hit this wall. He didn't just hit the wall. He hit the wall. the stone on the corner and chipped it. Like, it's going to stay that way.

We're not going to fix this. The chip's like a half inch by a half inch chip. It's not a big deal. Either way, it's not a piece of wall that you can very easily fix. What's worse is I broke the brake light out of my truck. Oh, that's heavy. Yeah, I busted the, that's 20 bucks.

Busted brake light. That's a big impact. I, uh, I backed it already. No, I've ordered a new tail light, but I backed. So we driving around in the truck. That truck? Yes. It's got a little cracked tail light.

No, it's not broke, broke. We didn't break it to where it's not working. No, no, no, it's working, but it's missing some of the red plastic. Oh. So I back into this thing, and I'm like, how in the hell do I do that? I've never done this. I get out. I look around at the wall.

I'm like, I look at my bumper, got a little scuff. I rub it. Oh, that's not a big deal. Okay. And then I looked on the ground and I saw red plastic. And I was like, holy shit. I busted the taillight out of this son of a gun. And I'm like, I'm getting old.

I don't know how I have. That's, you correlate that to getting old? I correlate that to getting old, losing your sort of sense of space. It looks like he backs straight out, like didn't turn it at all. Just enough to get the corner. Like, it's a big space. You can three point turn in this thing with a suburban. It's not a small area.

And he just rammed it. I did. You don't think because it happened to aim. me it was kind of subconsciously in your mind that you know I better not hit this hit the garage or ned never crossed my mind I think he was messing with his phone trying to play music or start something on his phone and literally just wasn't paying attention something like that yeah but anyhow or eating jerky we gave amy a hard time jerky there's always a jerky bag in his console so me me and amy right before the show started I said hey let's get a bag of that jerky boys let's tell people about

this jerky. So I've, me and a friend of mine have invested into this company about 40%. So I love this jerky and I believe in it and I think it'll kick ass. And so I think people that try it will like it will like it will like this will work. And I was like, let's get a bag out here, set it down. And Amy's like, you'll eat it. I don't. I don't. I don't want to listen to that. No, I don't. So we're going to see if it can, we're going to see if it can exist without me opening it. True test. We have a jerky timer. Yep. Can I go the whole show without opening the bag to eat it. I think I'm going to have a bag of that for lunch.

That's a good lunch. 60 calories for a serving, three servings in a bag, about 180 calories. Do you feel like that's enough calories as a grown man to eat for a meal? No, but I'm just saying you could have it for lunch and maybe you, hell, you could have two bags for lunch. Okay. Lean protein. You've even told me that jerky is good for you. It is good.

There's no junk in it. It's great jerky. And your affinity for it is next level. So we have the timer set and we'll see if he can resist it. Thank you. Jerkyboys.com. You can find it on Amazon too. Let's talk about the premiere.

Let's talk about, okay, so back into the garage. I'm sorry. You're sorry? I'm sorry. Listen, you should say you're sorry to the garage. That thing's withstood. 15 years of nothingness. And now it's got character like a chip tooth, you know?

It was just minding its own business and got smacked around. Did it happen the next day? It was just hanging out. What's that? It happened the next day after you hit it pretty much. Yes, it happened the next morning. It's karma. I think it's karma too.

Carmatic. It's carmatic. It's carmatic. No, okay. I just learned that. It's a new word. So speaking of that detached garage, I want to touch on something that you touched on a little bit. That golf simulator.

Yeah, I think about that thing. I have piles of stuff. I have professed that I can be a pack rat and I don't put things away. I have all the intention to organize and put things away. And then things happen and I don't get to it. And then it just sits there and now it's overwhelming me immensely. And so I have like Easter decorations. The sitting room in our house is still full of Christmas decorations.

In totes. They need to be put away. It'll be there. But I have to pull out my El Camino to get the stuff put upstairs and all of that needs to be reorganized. I have been dreaming about turning that golf simulator room, which is on the ground level, into just like my little own home goods space.

No. Can I please? No. Please switch. Put the golf sim upstairs. No, it doesn't move like that. Well, you don't even use it. Golly.

He doesn't. He's got spider webs. I don't like it. There are spider webs all over the golf clubs, all over the ground. I'm sure there's some hanging from the projector. He doesn't even use it. I don't. I'm busy.

But I don't want to, I'll think about wanting to go out there and do it. We have storage buildings and buildings. It needs to be convenient for me. To be, like, ground level. I don't need to be schlepping stuff, especially big totes up and down the stairs. Bad back.

Nobody's helping me. Yeah. What about the far corner where the, where the, um, Chival is? Well, if I take the Chappelle out and you can have that. Yeah. Deal.

Yeah. Really? I guess. That was too easy. Are you going to use a golf simulator? Let's go back to that. I do want to use it. I do like it.

I do want to use it. I think I'm at that age where golf, I might end up trying to see if golf might be something I would enjoy because I know. I played it before. That age? Well, I'm 50. You know that, right? So you and your socks need to start playing golf is what you're saying? I just feel like that, you know, I.

all of my friends play golf and play more and more golf. And I've watched friends become golfers. Like literally pick it up and start doing it. And now they just, that's what they do and it's a hobby. Well, usually people, when they retire, they start playing golf because they have the time to do it. Well, they all live in golf courses too.

Makes it a little easier. But I just feel, I feel, I have a sense that golf is going to be something that I end up picking up as a hobby. I just have a feeling that that's definitely going to happen. we'll see yeah the one thing about golfing for me is the social aspect of it i don't want to do it that's why everybody else wants to do it the social aspect well i mean i would want to do it with like the two or three people i'm golfing with in my round but i don't want to i don't want to see anyone else on the golf course why because i don't want to talk to any strangers why calls um like i'm playing

If I'm playing and they're playing faster and they're on your heels or you're on somebody else's heels or you go into the, you know, you got to go, I don't know. So your competitive nature makes you want to avoid other people because you're insecure about your golf game and that's why? I think I'm insecure about my golf game. It's terrible. It's going to be bad until you play more. Golf is something like if you don't play golf regularly, you're just going to perpetually be bad at it. Yeah. And so, and then you got, you know, to go in and be like, you know, hey, we want to play nine holes or we won't play 18 holes.

And then like, I don't know. And then what? Then you go to the golf, then go to the pro shop and have a cocktail and then hang out and da-da-da-da-da. Yeah. I mean, yeah. Hence the social aspect. That part sounds all right, sitting there drinking some beers afterwards. Yeah.

A lot of people drink while they're playing. I know. There's a cart girl. A lot of people pack their own coolers. There's like, I get pop-ups on my Instagram. all the different cocktail recipes that people are putting in their giant Yeti cups because I want to get good at it and I don't want to drink doing it I could drink after like I when I if I was out on the course I wouldn't want to like you know hey I wouldn't want to

talk in passing or communicate with anybody other than the people I'm playing around with yeah I think that's pretty common but then in the in the golf in the clubhouse afterwards absolutely hey man how's how is you around I think I think that's all pretty natural all right I don't know. I don't know why we're talking about this. Because the golf simulator in the garage is taking up my space for all of my jug. I want to keep my golf simulator. I don't want to get rid of it. Okay. We'll come back to. You need to clean it up. We need to clean out that whole garage. That whole thing needs to be.

Project for the summer since we have all this new time. Well, I do. You don't. We do need to go and overhaul the detached garage. But let's go back to the Christmas decorations that are still in. inside the house. Yeah. We're actually going to put those away within mere months of having to get them right back out. If we put it in a convenient place, it won't sit out so long anymore.

Why don't we dial back the Christmas decorations? No, we'll die you back first. No way. It's going to get worse before it gets better, Ralph. Hi, guys. We're here in the Dirty Mom Media Studios for another round of Bless Your Heart. Dale and I are ready for your questions. We have jerky boys here. And Dale is on a jerky timer. We are trying to make sure that he doesn't eat it. He's resisting at all costs. Yep. It's good jerky. It's hard not to open the bag and eat it, but that's the bet. We started the show, and he wanted to have this out, but I was hesitant just because I didn't

want to hear him eating it in the microphone again, but we've now made it a competition. So it's still going. What he got for us today? Well, our first question is from Brian. He's watched the soapbox derby on Discovery, and he wants to know have the girls shown any interest in building one. Have they watched it? and had FDA showing any interest in building one. They haven't watched it. We've shown them a couple clips. I mean, they've seen the clips, but they haven't watched the whole show.

They haven't shown any interest in building one. I'm sure that they would like to ride in one. They like to do anything that's, especially Nicole, kind of reckless and fast. Yeah. That would be fun, a fun little project for you guys to do together. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I think we watched the episode this week, and they turned out better. I don't know what I expected, but they turned out.

I was nervous that they weren't going to turn out great, but it turned. It's great. They did a good job sort of making it all work. They watched the clip with a Barbie car. They did. I didn't see that one. I have to watch that one. If y'all built one, what would be the theme?

I mean, I don't know. Probably unicorns. Unicorns? Yeah. Big old unicorn that flies down. The girls love unicorns and mermaids and... That'd be perfect for that. Yeah, they would.

They would, yeah. Those are really fun to watch. They are. They crash spectacularly. They do. They don't crash easy. No. Our next question is from Cole. If your pet could talk for one day, what's the first thing you would ask it?

Ooh. If it's Jumbug, the first thing I would ask it is why is he so nervous all the time? Can you just, and then I'd tell him just to settle down. I don't know. What would you ask Gus? Are you growl at me? Yeah. Why are you so angry at night? because he's he's great during the day but as soon as he's ready for bed he growls when you when you go pet him or anything near him yeah if you walk just walk past him in the bedroom he grumbles and growls he's like do not disturb my slumber it's grumpy like when he decides he's ready

for bed he doesn't want to be a been wanting anything anybody near him wow yeah it's kind of weird it is a bit he's he's very moody I would like to ask all the donkeys all the types of questions. Like, what's your real name? Yeah, it's true. Do you like it here? Yeah. Who's the leader?

It'd be cool to ask them anything. Sure would. Asking your pet what your real name is is kind of funny. Because we just give them a name if they're young enough at least. And they don't even consider that they had a name before this. What are your friends call you? Yeah. Exactly.

Yeah, it's true. It's very funny. Next question is from Skyler. Would you rather always have to say, sing instead of talk or dance instead of walk. Dance instead of walk for sure. I like to dance anyway. I feel like Dale would choose to sing.

Neither one of those. You wouldn't? No. You'd just be silent standing still, huh? Yeah, I wouldn't. I wouldn't want to be dancing everywhere I went. I wouldn't want to be singing everywhere I went. I think I'd get annoying for everyone else.

Dancing while you walk would be. It would be fun. It doesn't have to be such a big move. You could just like do a little kick or booty shake or something. The entire, the rest of the rest of the thing. of your life. Yeah. I don't know if I can sing.

You're like a Disney princess now. You're just twirling singing. No. That would torture. Oh my God. That's funny. Next question is from Kara. If you could shrink one item in your house down to pocket size, what would it be?

Ooh, a golf simulator in the garage. Oh, geez. Although. Hot topic today. Golf sim. carrying golf clubs, stringing them down would be very nice. I mean, do you get to blow them back up when you need them? Yes. I think just to transport them, I would say.

Oh, honestly, everything that's not being used until I want to use it, including all their decorations, you know? Yeah. All of the kids' toys. Like, if it's not being used, let's shrink it. The little motorized unicorns we have sitting around. All the things. We've got a lot of stuff sitting around. Another hot topic of the day. I think cars too. Like if you wanted to like go, you're going to the beach and you want to bring like multiple cars.

Like shrink two of them down, drive one. Put them in the back. And put them in. Yeah. That's a good idea. Right? I think so. A golf cart.

I mean, that would be a really, really cool feature of life. Oh, golf cart. Yeah, that'd be nice too. Just to know, shrink it down. Yeah. Magic. Now we're magic. Yeah.

I think this is a magical question now. Next one is from faith. What's a word that immediately gives you the ick for no logical reason? So like moist is it really. good example. I think a lot of people hate that one. I'm going to go on a limb here. Maybe I better not. Paste.

I was going to say a different one. This one kind of falls in line with that paste. Okay. I don't like paste. No reason. It's with moist. Like it's, I don't know. It's gross. What about toothpaste?

That doesn't bother me so much. It's just like random paste. If something's pasty, like in texture, not in. color then it's kind of gross interesting interesting tell any word that comes to mind with that um jewelry probably jewelry okay trigger trigger word a little bit it is yeah i botched i don't like botched i don't like botched it's a weird sound this botched botched yeah well or have you ever seen the show botched plastic surgery show i have dale does not like that show either no it's gross I find it to be fascinating.

I'm terrified of what might come on the screen next. Mm-hmm. So gross. It feels like it's a horror show. Like you ever seen Pimple Poppers, too? I've seen Dr. Pimple Popper as an advertisement, but I've never gone into watching it. No, it's so gross.

Oh, God. How do y'all... No? Yeah, that's pretty gross. I guess Puss would fall in line with a gross worker. Puss, yeah. That's a great one. Oh, gross.

really bad words all right I have one more question for you guys is from Danny and he needs some advice my first anniversary my wife is coming up and I'm thinking about

starting the tradition of giving classic anniversary gifts do you know what that is yeah like paper first year cotton second year and so on for those who don't know

Amy what are your thoughts on if you should do that or just kind of do his own thing I think for the first few years you can do that and it's romantic It's very romantic. Like for paper, like you might want to write her like the most amazing love note that she can keep forever.

And girls keep those things. You know, like a card I feel like is not quite good enough. Like you need to fill a more effort into it. So that would be nice. If he's, you know, poetic, you could write her a poem or I don't know. You probably get AI to help you. Yeah. If you're not that eloquent.

But I love that for the first few years. After that, you know, it's, you kind of just want something in the moment. Like, it doesn't have to be so systematic and laid out. Yeah. I love it for the first couple. Is that just clothes? Like, what's cotton? Cotton?

Cotton, yeah. I don't know. People used to, like, buy bedding or buy a piece of furniture. Like, I think one year's wood. So people bought furniture. It was just something to kind of guide people into, like, building their home. You know what I mean? Yeah.

That's pretty good. I think historically that's what it was for. Yeah. I see that. All right. Well, that's all I got for asking me today. Hey, it's Dale Jr. Did you know that we've got brand new merch from our Star Stripes and Beers Collection available now?

We've got tanks, teas, beach towels, and more just in time for summer. Check it all out at shop.dirtymodea.com. We went to the premiere. We took the girls. The second two episodes are coming out today, correct? Oh, yeah. They're out now. Yeah, I think you can watch them now.

That is true. Yeah, the premiere was a lot of fun. We got to take the girls and get dressed up, and they got to do like an adult event for the first time and see a red carpet. And they had a blast. It did really well. Dale was really worried they were going to misbehave just because it was a later in the day kind of thing. But Nicole fell asleep during the actual video. So she was out.

But they had a great time. Everybody seemed to really love the first episode that we saw. I thought that they would, I was excited because I thought they would go to this premiere and maybe learned. learn, they know who their Papaldale is in pictures and stuff and I thought maybe they would watch it and go and be enamored with it but they weren't that into it. Nicole fell asleep five minutes in and Ida was ready to go. She didn't want to sit through anything. It wasn't a Disney movie. So she was ready. She did sit and watch though. She didn't fall asleep. She learned something. She's never really heard him talk either. She didn't really play. She's kind of like

uninterested about it moving around, you know, shuffling around in her seat and just kind of huffing and puffing and puffing about it. Yeah. Ready to leave. Yeah, it was late. But it was great. A lot of people came. I've watched all of those episodes

multiple times. We were involved in the editing of the episodes, so we watched them back a couple times, and so it was watching it the third or fourth time. But I'd kind of remind myself that people were watching it for the first time in the room. And there, The people that were there had great reactions to it.

I've seen great reactions to it at home, I mean, on social media. So, I mean, it's been good. These next two are pretty tough, pretty heavy. Here's a preview from episode four. I don't know exactly where Daddy hit the wall. I don't know exactly where his car came to rest, but I kind of came to that general area, and I just got out. My buddies, they all kind of got out for a second,

but I just walked off by myself and stood around a little bit. and just looked around and just didn't even really think. I just was just there. And I wanted, I think, really to see how I would feel. Would I get emotional? Would it be too much? Would it feel too heavy? Would I have a problem with it?

I didn't know. If I was going to have some kind of a reaction, I didn't want to have it in front of everybody. And I thought about it in that moment. I was like, you know, my dad loved racing here. He loved Daytona, and he loved winning there. He's proud of it. And I just had this feeling that I shouldn't be mad at it, you know.

I shouldn't dread going to Daytona. But at the same time, there was this weird feeling. Oh, man. I almost hesitate to say this because it isn't going to make any. sense to anybody, but there was this really strange feeling of freedom. And I felt guilty even about feeling that way at all. I felt so guilty. I mean, I'm still in the very beginning of my hopefully a long career. And so I kind of decided then and there that I wasn't going to hold anything against the track. And if anything, Daytona was maybe even more special.

because it's where dad had passed away. In totality, I think all four of them together, I hope that people appreciate them, and I'm anxiously awaiting feedback. I'm sure there's some already on social media from the final two episodes that are available. Yeah, the first two episodes came out, first thing in the morning,

and people were watching them immediately. There's probably a few people watching them already, but they are good, and the premiere was really fun. I'm glad that we all got to do that together. Yeah. It was trending, on Prime Video for all last week, it seemed like. Yeah, I was at number one.

Yeah. That's what you like to see. Yeah. All right. So the kids are out of school and they are used to getting up very early. And, you know, I remember as a kid getting up and not going into my parents' room. And I remember asking my dad about this the last time we saw him, which is not that long ago. I was like, how did you get us to sleep in?

He's like, well, we just locked our door so that you couldn't wake us up, which we would never I don't think we could do that. There's just, I'm too anxious about all the things to do that. But our kids are up at like 6, 6.15 in the morning before the sun's really even fully up. And so there's no sleeping in at our house. The rain has, the first week of summer, it's been raining. Nobody can go outside. It's kind of cold. So the first week of summer has gotten off to like a really weird start. And Dale's like, how are we going to get these kids to sleep in? So I'm not sure what we're going to do. somebody suggested to me yesterday you should just like put out the breakfast like dry breakfast snacks so they can just go downstairs and feed themselves breakfast yeah but i feel like with nicole

eating like a raccoon like she does it's going to just result in there being food absolutely everywhere what how i don't know this is being a dumb question but like when do you start sleeping in like what age does do you start i don't know like that's a great question i don't know like yeah like when because school usually that's like okay no school i could sleep in a little bit summer Yeah, I guess you have to get old enough to even be able to remember having that thought process for that to be a thing. So Ila will sleep to like seven, but Nicole is up early. And her method is lately she's, she started off with like just tapping me in the middle of the forehead to wait me up. And now she's rolling up and we have these like really light fuzzy rugs on the floor.

And so she's just making herself a burrito in the rugs, scuffling around on the floor instead of waking me up. Because I ask her to quit poking me in the forehead. It's a really rude way to wake up in the morning. Yes. But yeah, I'm not sure what to do there. Yeah, I think that it feels like to me that it's to get them to wake up later, they have to stay up later, but that's not probably an answer or an alternative. I've tried that a little bit. They stay up until 930 and 10 o'clock over the weekend, and it didn't result in a later sleep in.

Yeah. Not for Nicole. Is there a such thing as summer bedtime versus school season bedtime? Yeah, because the sun didn't go down as early either. so it's hard to put them to bed at like 8 o'clock when the sun's still up. So, yeah, that just kind of happens like a natural shift, which is totally fine. But they still wake up early. Even at the beach, they're up early.

Yep. They get up early. It's tough. 6.30. 6.30 is. Yeah. It doesn't matter how late you stay up. Yeah, because they're up.

Yeah. Expecting service, breakfast, you know, all the things. So. Yeah. coming into the bedroom at some point in the night, and she wraps herself up in the rug and the floor. So when we wake up, Nicole is in a burrito on the floor. It's in the morning.

She wakes up instead of just coming into the bed, she'll just rustle around on the floor and wrap herself up like a burrito in the floor. So it starts early. There's no, you know, all right, you know, slow morning. It starts early. It starts early, yeah. They get in the bed.

And when they get in the bed where you're like, hey, get up here. Get out of the floor. And then they want the TV turned on. It's like, yeah. They're up. They're ready. It's crazy. Yeah, I don't remember doing that as a kid.

I didn't. You didn't go wake dad up or getting, you know, you didn't go in their bedroom early in the morning. My sister's kids don't go wait them up either. Yeah. yeah there's a there's like uh they have they're in tune with their circadian rhythm yeah and they're up with the sun that's it i suppose i feel like it's like they feel like they can do whatever they want so like i had this fear like i wouldn't go worry i wouldn't go to dad's room because he would go you know he was going to get he would get annoyed by that yeah right if he if you walked in there

at 6 3rd in the morning he would get annoyed you just stayed in your room you started playing or did something until other people started moving around. Yeah. You knew if that door was closed, don't even think about it. Yeah. You might knock. Our kids don't have that.

Yeah. So how did your parents instill that in you? I think if I just barged in, I would got yelled at. Yeah. Or they disciplined me in some way where it was like, you knew not to,

okay, I'm not doing that again because I don't want to get, yell that. Yeah, I can't like start my day off of yelling at anybody. I don't want to do that. I don't want to start my day off yelling at a four-year-old

for coming in. and to like ask for something to drink. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. I have a hard time with that. But then it might not even be yelling. It might just be like, okay, I'm busy.

You can go downstairs and get the drink though. Like you know how to do it or one of those things like that. But I don't, it's weird. It just your brain works in ways like that where you just kind of learn. I'm not doing that. That sucked that time. Yeah. So it just needs one sucky moment.

Yeah. Hmm. Maybe I do you need to like reconsider the accessibility of. the juice or whatever. They just do that on their own. Yeah. Accessibility of the juice, very important for sleeping in. Thanks for joining us.
