I have to admit I was one of the biggest fans of the lengthened and hopefully soon to be permanent daylight savings system. That is till now. I am tired. So tired. I know I lost an hour of sleep this last week and that is a lot for someone like me who treasures every single minute of sleep. It's not just that though. Each morning I am setting an alarm to wake Bella up for school and it is still dark, each day gets better, but originally it was pitch black. And I am not one of those people who is good at waking up if the sun hasn't done so yet.
Call me crazy but I also think it has to do with Kody sleeping the whole night again. I know - she's nuts you're all thinking and it's true - I am. But hear me out. Every mother knows the zombie like state you are in when you are up all night. To some degree though I feel like your body compensates or HF gets you through it in a daze that is aware of the sleepiness that exhausts even your bones, but your mind is off on a vacation and doesn't quite process it.
Well now that Kody is sleeping all night again ten plus hours every night - hooray - those six months of sleep deprivation my brain is all to well aware of. And it is taking it's vengence like a crazy, rabbid animal looking to make other animals as crazy as it feels. I can't get enough sleep. I sleep a minimum of eight hours a night, once Bella is on the bus I go back to sleep till the boys awake a half to full hour later, and I am napping everyday.
But I am bedraggled, exhausted, and moving like a snail on downers. Help me. So the last thing I need is to be forced to wake up in the dark. But still I get behind the daylight savings thing and just hope that my body remembers its youthfulness and rebounds quickly.

Just have Bella get herself up and ready for school. She's got it under control. Ha ha!
Sleeping through the night at 6 months!! Not just through the night but 10+ hours??? How is this possible? I wish... I hope... wouldn't it be nice. I know what you mean, once you get decent sleep after months of insomnia- it's almost worse than the perpetual state of naps. I hope to have that problem soon... candice!
