Sleep

*sleep!!

What is that, right?! Remember back in the day when you could sleep half the day- as a teenager and in college, even on the weekends for the first few years of my married life, sleep was just a normal thing and I could get as much as I wanted. Then my husband and I decided we needed children! Best decision ever, right?! On most days, yes- but what happened to sleep?! Why do our children refuse to let me sleep?? And on the nights that they stay in their beds, no one pees in the bed, or wakes up from a bad dream- those are the nights I stupidly decided to stay up late watching Netflix and binge eating the junk food the kids don’t know we have hidden in the pantry OR better yet- those are the nights I attempt to go to bed at a reasonable hour and then my husband decides to stay up or keep me up! WHY??!! Is this some “haha gotcha” from the universe to get me back for all those times I took more than my fair share of sleep when I was younger?? Tell me this isn’t just me?! And then the lack of sleep goes immediately to my skin and makes my face look 10 years older 👎
