Yawn
I want to thank everyone who left such nice comments on my last post. The Internet has been an amazing help to me as I learn my way as a parent—just to be able to express the frustration is helpful, and then to get supportive, friendly voices answering back can make a huge difference.
I feel much better this morning, of course. I don’t think I fully realized the sleep deficit I was running. Yesterday I went to bed as soon as Sam got home (around 6) and I stayed there, getting up only to nurse and to help put Robin to bed, until Davy woke up this morning around 5:30. The sad thing is that I’m pretty sure I could sleep for another six hours—but at least I’m not miserably tired like I was yesterday. And the weekend is coming! And Davy SMILED at me this morning, so that makes everything amazing and great.

Oh, I am so glad to hear this. Sleep is good for the soul!

Robin is STILL sleeping, so I think he was exhausted too, poor guy…

That sleep thing …. Urgh.
Big hugs- even though I don’t know you 🙂
I have a rosy picture of the last four or so years and I’m convinced that exhaustion pretty much erased the negative bits. And probably many of the good bits too 🙂
Does your area have coffee shops and parks walking distance?

There is a park, and getting there every day is one of my goals. It’s three quarters of a mile so it makes a nice walk. The one down side of our move, though, is that we’re a lot more isolated than we were in San Francisco.
