Rough Night

I am so incredibly tired.  Audrey isn’t human like the rest of us.  She just doesn’t sleep.  I would give ANYTHING for eight hours of uninterrupted sleep, with my husband, no little body in the middle.

 

New parent tired isn't like any other kind of exhaustion. It's just constant. It's not like cramming for an exam or anything else that's 36 hours on Jolt cola. It's not like you never sleep, either; you just sleep for such small increments of time, and so randomly, that your body never actually rests. It's a zombie state. It's like this functioning awake.

 

She’s ten months old!  This kid should be sleeping through the night by now.  I actually think this kind of tired is worse than the newborn baby tired.  At least in the beginning days, I was on maternity leave, could nap in the day with her, etc.  Now, I still get relatively little sleep at night, then I have to chase after an active kid all day and function in the workplace.  Enough feeling sorry for myself…

 

I’m really into American Idol this season.  I was impressed by some of the guys last night, especially Blake Lewis and Chris Richardson.  But especially Blake.  I think he’ll go far in this competition. 

 

I have about 10 loads of laundry laying on our basement floor and should try to do something productive on my day off.  So here goes.
