Beauty Sleep

Carolyn apparently decided she needed her beauty sleep today.

She slept from 11:00 pm - 8:15 am.

What does that mean for me?

I got to shower, brush my teeth, and eat breakfast.

That's right.

All in the same day.

I hope the rest of your day stays as awesome as it started! These are few and far between, but they get you through the awful days cause you can think back to "remember that day that I got a shower, brushed my teeth and eat breakfast. That was magical." I know things you never knew you would think before having a newborn.

Hi Erin,
I came across your blog randomly as I was hitting the "Next Blog" button but had to write you when I read of your exhaustion. I had similar problems when my son was a baby, except that he only slept about an hour and a half at a time during the night! And it lasted for 18 months!!!! In retrospect, I wish I had been more emphatic with our pediatrician about our need for help. My heart goes out to you. Get some help and get some rest.

By the way, I also transplanted to Texas (although I'm not there now). It took me 10 years, I'm ashamed to say, before I could find the beauty in the people and the land to say that I loved the place. Taking weekend trips, making good friends and enjoying my work all helped.

All the best to you!
