day one, night one

So, last night i bored myself sleepy. I didn't really know what to do with myself. I sort of wandered around lost and feeling a cranky knot in my tummy. No matter how much i told myself parker was fine i couldn't stop wallowing in worry. I'm fairly certain all this is as hard on me as it is him.

I went to bed at 11:00 and felt pretty certain i wouldn't sleep a wink. Not a wink i tell you. That is until i woke up with a gasp and adrenaline rush at 5:30 in the morning. Six and a half hours of sleep! In a row, in a row in one night! Now, i'm sleepy as hell. I felt the wonderful lull of sweet, sweet deep sleep and i want more. I managed to doze on and off until the very reasonable hour of 8:30.

I spoke with a teary parker on the phone. He said "i love me mommy. can i have booby now?"

At that moment my heart burst into flames right in my chest. In between my rock hard right boob and empty left one.

Today, the girls (my gorgeous daughters tristan and eliza and my beautiful niece bryn) and i are going toobing at the ski hill and for haircuts. Tomorrow morning we are off to fancy pants brunch at the Hyatt.

If i make it through tonight.

Bless your sweet heart. Don't you know better than to talk to your baby when you're on a vacation? That is just heartbreaking!

I'll be thinking good thoughts for you. Remember SIX HOURS OF SLEEP. UNINTERUPTED. IN ONE NIGHT.

Remember, remember, remember!

Enjoy your girls weekend. Parker will soon see that there's a whole lot more to mama love than booby. It'll be okay. But even though I know that you know that, it's just one of those difficult things. Good luck, beautiful!

Oh honey. Your poor rock hard boob and exploding heart. Gaaa! There's nothing for this but to live through it.

Aaah, sleep. It really is underrated, isn't it?

Hi!

I am jealous of the sleep!
