- I really must not confuse a burst of energy with a reason to overextend myself. I got my second wind late last Thursday and made pulled chicken, potato salad, carrot salad, and fruit salad for the holiday weekend — and went to bed at midnight. Mind you, I’d been getting, oh, five hours of sleep on the previous days.
- And because of the aforementioned stupidity, I felt like I was sleep-walking until late Sunday afternoon. That’s right. My kids come to visit and find their mother in a different time zone. I told them it will get worse.
- It already has.
- I get this wild idea. Since Sophie has been waking me up at 4:30 AM every morning, why don’t I shuffle her feeding times to 5:30 AM and 5:30 PM — maybe her clock is in her stomach.
- And indeed it is in her stomach. Sophie is not pleased that I am making her wait for her din-dins.
- However, it seems to be working!!! Soph slept past 4:30 AM!
- Now if I can manage to set the first alarm on our clock (5:3o AM) to come on instead of the second — which comes on at 4:30 AM.
- That’s right. I am awake and Sophie is snoozing still.
- I am hopeless.
