Change is coming, and it feels good!
The little one is getting it- going to sleep on her own, not quite sleeping through the night, but working on it. Weaning has started, and while it isa challenging, trying time, and an emotional time (mentally and hormonally- I'm all over the place here, people!), it is also a hopeful one. I'm starting to see a future with a tiny bit of time carved out for ME. I'm seeing evenings knitting in front of the TV, time spent with my husband, EXERCISE, more time to write (!)... OK, I don't want to get carried away, but the possibilities are enticing.
The most enthralling prospect is the possibility of actually sleeping through the night one day soon... for the first time in more than two and a half years. SERIOUSLY! Now that I'm getting closer to having some semblance of sleep, I'm realizing the extent that sleep deprivation has eroded my life. Always feeling foggy, very often angry, run-down, impatient... I'm euphoric at the prospect of sleep.
In related transformative news, I finally used the box of hair color that has been sitting in my bathroom drawer for months. No more grey! That in itself is an Easter miracle! And go myself to the nearest barbershop for a trim. I'm moving towards new woman territory!
OK, I know it is sacriledge to blog about the mundane- what you eat, drink, errands- the boring stuff that makes up everyday life. But at this point in my life, this stuff is the stuff of possibility and excitement.
