Mom-somnia :: Musings at 3am

0

Mom-somniaI lay here – wide awake – I know why – I should not read work email before bedtime.

Mom-somnia has hit me…are you awake too? Well mom-friend, you are not alone!

Isn’t it strange all the weird worries thoughts and ideas that can keep us awake.  Here the path my brain took last night – – >

:: Its 3am I should really go to sleep, my alarm is set for 6am

:: Wonder if I can move any of my meetings tomorrow?

:: Nope. In fact the first starts promptly at 8:30

:: Did Miro poop today?

:: Miles needs a haircut.

:: Wembley needs to go to the groomer – maybe Friday?

:: Did I tell my team I will be off Friday?

:: Maybe I’ll take the kids to a playground.

:: Should we still get a play-set in our yard or will they outgrow it too fast?

:: Was that lady right about our sandbox?  Are my kids going to catch a horrible disease because we leave it uncovered?

:: Its been so hot this month – I bet the electric bill will be through the roof!

:: Did I miss paying the electric bill? What’s the date?

:: Need to prioritize time to pay the bills.

:: Need to schedule a haircut.

:: Need to ask my stylist how much longer I can get away with plucking these glittery strands.

:: I should go to sleep – maybe some tea would help.

:: I wish someone would make me tea.

:: Crap! Its almost 4am.

:: I know people who will be getting up in 45 minutes to workout…Who are these humanoids?

:: Remember to de-friend anyone who gets up before 7am to workout in the morning.

:: I need a break from social media – correction – I need a break.

:: Fine – I’ll go make tea.

:: Look at the dishes in the sink – where did those come from? Guess I’ll do them.

:: I hate how this pantry is laid out – I really need to reorganize things.

:: Maybe I’ll hire a professional organizer for the house.

:: Better yet a junk removal service would serve me better – I need a really large trashcan to drag through the house.

:: Shoot! Is it trash day? Surely, they don’t come in the middle of the night.

:: Phhew. Dodged a bullet there.

:: Wonder if the trash-men think we have a drinking problem.

:: There are quite a few wine bottles & bourbon bottles in the recycling bin. Should I move them to the trash to redistribute?

:: Great now Wembley needs to go outside.

:: Miro sounds restless – I pray she doesn’t wake up next.

:: But I would love to cuddle her in the rocking chair.

:: Is that my alarm!?!

Anyone else go through this…I’d love to hear what keeps your brain spinning – let me know below!

Hello Lovely Dayton Mommas!! I think being a mother is the greatest achievement of my life…I am one of those crazy people who LOVES being pregnant – but will now vicariously live through everyone else’s pregnancies – as my husband (Chris) and I have decided that 2 littles are as big as our family will grow. Miles (4) and Miro (2) keep us on our toes – we like to get messy with art supplies, jump in rain puddles, have nightly dance parties, explore parks, cuddle for movies & skip in the halls at school. I work full-time as a Director of Customer Experience and manage a team of 14, in my spare time I am also getting my MBA through the University of Dayton. I look forward to sharing my thoughts, blunders, successes and failures. #parentlikenooneiswatching
