For the first time in almost a month and a half, I got enough sleep last night. It was a fantastic way to start my day, catching up on the very much needed and deserved sleep that I have been lacking since my daughter was born 2 months ago. This day also happened to be the first in about a month, that we didn't have anywhere to go, or anyone to see. I got to do whatever I wanted today, and I did.
I took my time this morning, not having to pack up any diaper bags, or prepare for any long day out. I got my chores done, and we headed over to the local farmer's market. I really just wanted to get some hummus and tapenade at the Greek stand. My son wanted a watermelon, so I bought him one and had to carry it home (4 blocks) since this was the week we decided not to take the wagon. It was awesome though, it makes me smile when my sweet little toddler munches on the samples of food and tells me what he likes and what he doesn't.
Food break at home, then off to Target. I found some great preschool learning booklets for my son in the dollar spot. Gotta love the dollar spot.
The rest of the day was great. I was able to cook dinner on time, have my chores done, take care of the kids, and play with my son too. I even got ready in time to watch my HBO shows (TrueBlood, Hung and Entourage). My husband was out all day long. That meant I did all this alone and I didn't get overwhelmed at all today. It was fantastic. Thank you sleep. Thank you day off from traveling.
So then, as it always goes after a full night of sleep, I have a hard time falling asleep at night. After my shower and a few tasks, it was 1 am and hubby went to work. It was incredibly silent in the house. I found myself lying in bed, awake, listening to the rather loud tick tock of the clock above the bed. Ugh! I decided to get up and do something productive with my writing. Now, it is 1:30 am, and I am sitting here writing a blog, snacking on my hummus and tapenade, watching "The 40 Year Old Virgin", waiting to get tired.
I hope the clarity sticks with me so I can get hold of my life again and get back to balance. Still, no matter what may happen, I am so in love with both my children and so happy I am their mother.
