My brain is drained.
I wish I had something interesting to write about, but my sleep deprived brain is unable to come up with anything witty or clever that would hold anyone's attention for more than a millisecond. This tiredness has slipped far into my being. It's so deep, its actually become a part of who I am. I find, like a college kid who says they can drive better when they are drunk, that I am more aware and alert with 4 hours of sleep than I ever was with 8. It is a bizarre phenomenon, and one that is probably attributable to the hormones spiking or waning or whatever the fuck happens after you have kids. But anyway, I feel this inexplicable urge to keep this blog sort of up to date. But, is there a point if I have nothing to say?
Yes. So I know there is someone out there more exhausted than me (I think this as a safe assumption since you have twice as many?). And b/c giving in to the urge to do something just for you is a good thing.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your babies!! I think sharing the "mommy brain" experience is helpful so that other moms know they're not alone. When I had Ariel (pre blogging days) I was the only person I knew with a baby (actually I was the only person I knew who had been on a second date with a guy). It was such a relief to find out that I was not the only one with feeling exhausted and unable to complete cogent sentences. It will get better!!
ReplyDeleteKeep on posting! I keep on reading.
