Sissy's Need Not Apply

Sleepless night #2. I'm learning that sleep is so over-rated! Well, I've learned that lesson once before, when the kids were infants, but it's good to get a refresher every now and than.

I remember when the kids were little and I would wake up every few hours even when they were sleeping and run in and check on them to make sure they were still breathing. Who knew 20 years later I'd come full circle and still be worrying about the same thing.

Oh, or when they only had their license for a year and were able to stay out late and I'd lie awake in bed waiting for them to come home.

Ok..so I guess I have a history of insanity, but I come by that honestly and I have the stories to prove it! The only thing my mother lacked to prove her insanity was a note from her Dr.

Let's take a moment to reflect on what I've learned about myself this first week (yes, it's only been a week...feels like a lifetime): I am neurotic. This is not new news. I worry alot, and I should probably be medicated, but I'm so not going to do that. I can handle this because I am strong (2nd lesson learned), which leads us to the 3rd and final lesson learned: Mommying is not for sissy's.

I don't care if your child is 2 hours or 200 years old, you just want their life to be perfect and it hurts when you have to let them learn lessons or leave the nest, or watch them be sick.

So let's spend the rest of our day counting our blessings and being positive.

Peace out.
