Ha! No shit. You will ALWAYS be tired. I haven’t had a good night’s sleep in almost three years. I go to bed too late and have to get up way too early. Not usually by choice, but because of the little voice calling “Mommy…mommy” at 6:30 in the morning.

But that’s okay.

I’ll get a really good night’s sleep again someday. Until then I’ll savor the mornings when G-tot wakes up too early and I bring him into our bed so the three of us can sleep a little longer. One of these days he will be to big for us to do that. One of these days he won’t want to.

If we have another, getting up every couple of hours throughout the night will be a bitch. I’m sure I will cry over lack of sleep. “Sleep when they sleep” is a myth and probably impossible when you have more than one kid.

But that’s okay.

I know those moments won’t last forever either and someday I may even miss them. Even if I am a crazy zombie woman for the next several years.
