It's sad when the only thing you will ask for this mothers day, birthday, and christmas is a nap. Heck, I just want to sleep for 12 uninterrupted hours. How blissful does that sound? Unfortunately I doubt that will ever happen again, well, at least for the next 18 years.
Nights like last night seem like the entire family is against you sleeping.
The dog had an upset stomach from the dinner our son handed her, so she went out every. single. hour.
My 3 month old decided to be on a growth spurt and woke up every 2 hours, compared to her usual every 6 hours.
My darling, dearest husband was restless and him moving around woke me up I can't even count how often.
When it was morning enough for me to leave the dog outside for a couple hours, finally got the baby to sleep, husband had just gone to work, I laid my head on my pillow to the pitter patter of feet running down the hallway.
"Hi mommy!," the toddler yelled as the door slams open. The baby in the bassinet jumps awake in tears.
And I need coffee.
Do you remember when you used to sleep till noon? Take naps whenever you wanted to, lay in bed and fiddle around watching netflix till dinner time, then get up and go hang out with your friends till 3am?
Yeah... me neither.
It's funny though. I wouldn't trade this for the world. Although I'm reluctantly waiting for this coffee to kick in, I realize I don't mind seeing the sun rise. I don't mind, because I get snuggles at every hour of the night. The restless man next to me can interrupt my sleep all he wants, because it means he is home safe and sound instead of deployed or training. I have tons of love in my life, and a plethora of gummy morning smiles while I drink my coffee. Even the dog with the tummy issues is wagging her tail greeting me when I get out of bed to help her outside. And at least she didn't go in the house.
Sleep sounds good, but my life right now is better.
P.s. I still want a nap for mothers day
