Forgetting to blog

I almost forgot to blog today. Well. That's not true. I just put it off until I was too sleepy to think about it and now here I am. I had better do this quick because my laptop just informed me it is restarting in 14 minutes to finish updating. I think I need to do my credo business too. I don't have the rubric in front of me so I won't start that right now. I don't want to do it twice. I cant believe Everett is still awake right now. That is my son. I guess I should clarify because anyone reading this wont know what I am talking about. We had such a long day and its so chilly in the house. I am ready to pass out, but him? Not so much. People always say kids change your life and you lose so many things. I think that is a pretty strong statement but you do lose some privileges you don't even realize you are going to miss. Sleepless nights are to be expected, but what really gets me is just not being able to sleep when I want to. Got some downtime and want to take an afternoon nap? Not if your kid is awake. Ready for bed by 9? Yes. Is your child asleep? No. Looks like you are staying up. Such a simple freedom you don't miss until its gone. Another missing freedom- sitting on the couch watching junk TV from time to time. Any TV that I watch is on my laptop late at night with the subtitiles on because the volume is low so I don't wake Everett. I've been a single mom since I found out I was pregnant so it's just the two of us. Everything I do he is right there from eating to sleeping to playing. He is pretty much fused to my hip because we just have each other. I get crap for letting him sleep with me since birth but I wouldn't have it any other way. He has plenty of time to be a big boy in his own bed. My laptop just informed me I have 4 minutes before restart so I think I am done here.
