I'm sure I am not the only mom out there who feels like their day actually starts when the baby is asleep. My sister-in-law was over one night and as soon as the baby was asleep, I started cleaning. She said "so this is what goes on here at 11pm?" Yes....it's my routine. Night time used to be time to wind down, relax, catch some TV. Not any more. There is laundry to do, bottles to wash, coupons to cut, the list goes on and on...sleep deprivation is a very real thing. I feel like I some how have a second wind....I used to be able to only sleep a few hours when I was young and still go go go. Then for a while I needed my 8 or 9 hours a night. Now...I am back to only a few hours a night. What is it about being a mom, or even just a woman in general that makes us feel like we have to accomplish so much? We have to be super woman...work, clean, cook, take care of the man and the kids. I have this strange need to make life easier on everyone else, but that makes my life much more difficult. But we women truck on...with a smile and full make up. God forbid we have a hair out of place, or sweat pants on. Hmmm....
