Days and Nights

I remember those early days when Abby was a baby. I could stay up all night with her (which I did, by the way) and then early in the morning we would both fall asleep and sleep until whenever which one of us decided to wake up first. After lunch.

You can only enjoy that luxury for a short time. Only with the first born and only if you don't have a paid job to get to. Those days are so long gone that I barely remember them.

Back in those days, I was never one to put my babies on a schedule. Goes against who you thought I was - doesn't it? There were no 4:00 or 10:00 feedings at my house. Nope. None.

These days I am the one who has my days and nights mixed up. Seriously, I lay in bed and I just can't seem to fall asleep or else I fall asleep and keep waking up. Then, when it is time to get up I am sleeping like a baby. And these days I have a paid job that my boss appreciates demands me being at on time.

I wonder if those espresso drinks late in the afternoons are catching up with me....

I remember making fun of my older friends who used to require decaf coffee in the evenings. Now, I am one of them.
