The up all nights



Once upon a time ... I remember sleep.
A favorite past time..a longed for moment or hour that brought on a little rejuvenation to the mind, body and soul. I remember sleeping under the blankets with a pillow even. On my back..arms over my head and in my bed....ahhhhh memories...

Nights are long in these parts. Lots of crying , endless nursing and attempting to sleep sitting straight up is what I do best:) My little rock the night partner all nestled on the boppy..Arm casually over his face , snoring ever so softly with his long legs hanging off the end. All he wants most in this world at this moment is his momma..the boob and his polka dot blanket.
Content little Silas ... mommy loves you ... and hopes you learn to sleep just a little so that mommy can walk a little less crooked...have to use the corn bag a little less often and look a little more rested:)
I wish you sweet dreams ... even if they are only brief and on my lap..
I love you ,
Momma

Moments Today ..

If you are anything like me .. or have a household like mine you would know that no day begins quietly .. smoothly or without incident.
As a mom of three .. Not to mention being a part time parent to my significant other ... you have to be prepared for some excitment in your day.
We were forced into life this morning at 6:12 am by Fisher. He is not one of the two legged children .. but the wildest of the two four legged ones. He was up .. and something had him perplexed.. He was barking .. howling and bouncing his kennel all over my artroom floor.
" are you kidding me " I was thinking .. hair straight up ..heart pounding and all of a sudden realizing I was desperate need of a drink of water. So down the stairs i went to see what this wild animal could be so upset about. I checked the door first .. no one there. I went in to the room and found him frantly barking at .. himself .. yes , I apparently forgot to replace one of my large mirrors when I was moving things around.
I stood there him looking at me then his reflection and back at me .... Yes Fisher .. This is a very embarressing moment for you . He was now wagging his tail all chipper and happy to see me .. Great , I'm up.
I let him outside and turn around to find the three two legged wonders staring at me ..
" So .. mom , What's for Breakfast ?"
