I am a mess. More so than usual. The reason... Day light savings time was Saturday. Today, the kids slept in... I even had to wake Cooper up. This is not my first rodeo with day light savings, nor with a baby who wants to sleep in. What does that mean? I know first hand from my naive/ tired/ first time mom experience that enjoying the few extra alone minutes in the morning while the kids slumber away equals out to disaster. Everything is off schedule... everything. Which means that I am off schedule and that makes me a bit frazzled. So, since I know this- my boys do not sleep in. The latest I am willing to go is 7:30 (which almost never happens) and even then I'm pacing in front of the door for 30 minutes thinking "any minute... any minute he is going to wake up and we can get the day started".
So today was off from the start. I stayed up WAY too late last night enjoying the quiet of the house and the control of the remote. After a long day of loud and crazy- I NEED that down time. So, I was extra sleepy this morning. I may have slept past my normal wake up time- anywhere between 6-6:30 ish courtesy of one of the boys... which is too early but as long as the clock doesn't start with a 5 I'm all good.
Breakfast was delayed, Coop's first nap was a mess. Lunch was late and now I'm struggling with naps again... Hopefully at some point today we can shake it and be back to normal tomorrow but until then I'm blaming and cussing the ole' day lights saving time... today, you mother, you win.
