So we’re going on week 2 of the CHANGE, and when I say change, I mean the time I used to refer to as heaven — FALL BACK, GAIN AN HOUR etc. GAIN an hour??? GAIN???
Once you are a parent, you gain squat. You gain several weeks of misery as your poor, sweet child is trying to figure out what the hell just happened. Why is it dark when I get home from school and BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT when I wake up?
Bug had just started sleeping until 7. 7!!! Pure bliss would be how I would describe the hubby’s and my state of being – the kind of bliss that leaves that sort of dumb looking half smile on your face. Then Daylights Savings had to sweep on in and ruin everything. This past week and half has been utter suckyness (if that’s not a word, I just made it one!) Some nights, bedtime has been 6:30 because my little man is just plain tuckered out. Then, he wakes at 6 a.m.! Fun times.
Other nights, he gets a second wind and is up until 8p.m. and STILL wakes up at 6 a.m. (or like yesterday, 5 AM!!) Utter torture for me.
This morning, we woke up at 7. Is it a fluke? Could we be adjusting and on our way back to normalcy? I certainly hope so. I feel like life is playing a game with me and I am losing….sleep that is.
