so tired

so evan has had 2 nights in a row of bad sleep. and i'm exhausted from it. yesterday, i woke up SO tired- you know those mornings when you wake up and you can't even open your eyes, that kind of morning. then we were home all day, just the 2 of us, for the first time in months and that wore me out. then i had young women's and we cleaned the highway and that wore me out. then to cap all of that evan didn't fall asleep until 1:30AM!!! and then woke up less than 6 hours later. so needless to say, i'm beyond pooped today.

the point of this post is not to gain sympathy. frankly many of you are probably reading this and saying... so why are you sleepy exactly? the point of this post is to say HOW DO MOMS DO IT??!! i know moms who have kids who never really sleep through the night. my sister, for example, did not sleep through the night until first grade. i am barely functioning after 2 days of this nonsense and i only have 1 kid to top it all off. and i don't work. i REALLY don't know how a working mom does it.

my hat goes off to all those awesome moms who not only live and function well off no sleep, but most of them manage to remain beautiful through it all too. i admire you. i want to be like you but only in theory, not in such a real way that i have to experience your pain in order to get there. for now, i will continue to hope for my wonderful sleeping baby boy to come back to me and i will pray that your children grace you with a full nights sleep too.
