I’m on the back porch watching the squirrels play. How are you this morning?

All snuggled in the nursery, just finished my coffee and a granola bar. Hoping to get a shower here soon-ish so I can finally feel awake

My morning relationship with the squirrels looks a little different....we're at war. They know if they're on my bird feeders there's a chance they'll be taken out with the BB Gun. They know the risk of going in for a free meal....fuck around and find out. But hey, at least coffee is still involved!

Did the little fella let you all sleep last night?

I’m not clear what you mean.

A squirrel band playing on your porch. Like the chipmonks.

Lol, no my squirrels are simple minded like me. Always looking for their next nut.

Not much even when I put him in bed with me and he was up by 4:45am…. I really need to figure out how to reset his internal alarm that wakes up at 5a-5:30am at the latest

It DOES get easier, I promise. I have 5. Two of them twins who just turned a year old and they're JUST starting to sleep through the night. It's been a rough last year of no sleep. But they DO eventually sleep. Yours will get there. Hang in there!

Hanging on by my fingernails .. and coffee

And THAT is absolutely okay and just the way it has to happen sometimes! One day, one cup of coffee, one deep breath at a time! I get it, I really really do. I'm right there with ya!

I remember that feeling of disconnection to the world through the lack of sleep. Feeling like you are the only one awake during the feeds.

I would stare out the bedroom window just looking for houses with lights on... knowing other people were awake kinda soothed me.

But like @CJamarous said it does get easier... promise

 

[EyesOnHers]

And all too soon you will be living these kind of delights...

I may have overserved myself on sleepytime gummies last night.

I dreamt I was in Vancouver to act in a movie... some weird sci-fi flick about giant sharks heralding in the end of the world. Russell Crowe played Napoleon. I had a minor role, but at the premiere Anya Taylor-Joy told me she really liked me in the movie. Anyway, after a day of filming I went back to my Airbnb and went to bed, but started hearing strange noises in the attic. I pulled the attic stairs down, and as soon as the stairs were down, a knife came flying towards me at great velocity. I called up, "What the fuck? Hello!?" And a lady came to the trapdoor, looked at me, and just screamed and threw another knife. I thought she was feral. Then she told me to get the fuck out of her house, and I said we'd paid to rent this house. And when she heard that she came downstairs, sweet as could be, and said, "oh sugar, I am so sorry! Welcome! Make yourself feel right at home. I stocked the fridge with iced coffee and cinnamon rolls! Ain't that fun? All you gotta do in the mornin' is pop them in the oven at 375 for about 10 minutes and you'll be happier than a bee in a flower shop!" Because Vancouver is full of ladies with southern accents, for some reason. But then I got a call from Reese Witherspoon (she'd played an aging hooker in the movie) that we had to do some re-shoots. So I didn't get even get time to have a cinnamon roll.

Do drugs, kids!

I respectfully disagree with the it gets easier part…it gets different and maybe more sleep but goodness the drama of having two teenage girls … I’d trade having a newborn some times … I of course love them but the drama oh goodness

Thanks lovelies! It’s a beautiful, exhausting time lol

Having this place helps give me something to do

Oh I know the trials become different!!!
I was meaning the lack of sleep.

I know us females are amazing and all but feel for you living with two teenage daughters!

It definitely ebbs and flows. And the "easy" and "hard" parts change with the age that's for certain and for sure. But getting consistent sleep and not feeling perpetually exhausted at least makes digging deep for patience and energy a little easier.

God help me the day all 4 of my daughters are in their teenage years. I might just build a doghouse in the backyard for myself

 

[Nylonian]

You can! Get another couple cups of coffee and some breakfast in you and go cut that lawn! Don't let those arrogant blades of grass tease and taunt you! Prepare for war and Cut. Them. Down!

*Roaring battle cry ensues*

Freeedom!

 

[Nylonian]

Morning all!
<takes my coffee to the nearest comfy couch with my book>

Are we taking bets on how many lumberjack hearts @LatinaCarmen1980 broke last night?

They're lumberjacks. They should know what they signed up for.

 

[Nylonian]

That was fine... the third was probably a mistake though

Third... BOTTLE? Damn you can drink... I'd be in bed all day by that point if not trying to hold back an earthquake....

 

[LordofDargaardkeep]

mornin cozy crew.

Sounds like me when I'm bouldering. Especially on 5mm crimps. 10mm crimp for ref.

 

[Dayhoosier]

Fair point

*Begins lumber jack training*

Nah. Take up bouldering. Finger strength is useful in a lot of ways...
