It's One or the Other

You can never get two things at once with Nyla. You either get one or the other.

Perfect example: this morning. Nyla slept through the night last night! Yes, we're still dealing with that. 13 months later, we're still having a little trouble with sleep. Not as much now that she's in daycare, but still having some wakeups in the middle of the night. Anyhoo, last night she killed it with sleep! Right on! This morning, I started my job at full time, so I needed time to get up and get dressed before waking her up. This is her "one or the other" moment.

I got out of bed to start getting ready, thinking that she wouldn't wake up for another half an hour or so. WRONG. Homegirl woke up and started talking just as my feet hit the ground. Instead of having a relaxing and quiet time for me to actually brush my hair and do my makeup, I now had to rush and had a little voice sqauwking at me, reminding me that she was awake. It's one or the other with her. Either take a full night's sleep or get time in the morning to get ready in peace. I can't have both, damnit.

In conclusion, if you see me out in public looking a little disheveled and out of sorts, don't worry. My child slept all night so I'm good!

ps: I missed writing my blog! So we're back! Welcome to the second year of mommyhood.
