Training myself to sleep when he sleeps is not as easy as it sounds.
This, coming from the Former Collegiate Heavyweight Champion of Napping. But once he’s asleep & I lay down, all I can think of are things that need to be done — laundry, dishes, bottles, emails, blogging, ordering pictures, etc. I know. They can all wait. Yes, even the blog. But that urge to be “Super Mom” is a very, very powerful one & even as I type now, I’m telling myself to PUT AWAY THE DAMN COMPUTER & LAY DOWN. Because I’m tired. I won’t even pretend that I’m not — it’s impossible to not be exhausted, even though The Momma spent an entire week with us to help out. I’m recovering from the athletic event that is labor, stitches to boot, & I’m getting up 3 times per night. I NEED TO TAKE AN EFFING NAP, RIGHT?!
What do you do to make yourself sleep during the day?
