I have realized that there are two things that I took for granted before having kids.
One, FREEDOM!
Freedom to come and go as I please.
Freedom to have complete control of the TV remote. I am not obligated to watch any type of show involving a talking animal or big purple dinosaur.
Freedom to go to the bathroom ALONE!
And two, Sleep! This is the BIG ONE!
Before you have kids, you really don't realize how important and precious it really is till it's gone.
I'm still amazed that I was actually able to function on such little sleep and raise a little human at the same time after our son was born.
But after awhile, the long nights become a vague memory and you get the brilliant idea to do it all again not one but two more times!
After having our second child, she didn't sleep through the night until she was 4 1/2 and by this time, we had already had our third baby.... and at this current time is still not sleeping through the night after 19 months.
So looking back, I have had only a handful of full night sleeps in about 5 1/2 years.
This will be my plea if I ever by chance ever kill anyone LOL
(just kidding... really, those orange jumpsuits would do nothing for my figure!)
(just kidding again.... I've had 3 kids.... what figure!)
Ummmm, where was I????
I have done my fair share of rocking and nursing crying, sick and teething babies at 3am over the past 7 years.
And I must say, this is when I find that my most odd, crazy and brilliant ideas come to me..... Like the whole orange jumpsuit thought....
Hey! I never said they were rational thoughts!
So, here they are!
I have started a blog filled with my 3am (and even sometimes my 1am, 4am and 5am) ideas and thoughts, rational or not.
Hope you enjoy!
And Sleep Tight, Don't Let The Bed Bugs Bite.
