Hmmm... yes I am conflicted. Let me explain...
This morning (probably 3am) I woke up to the distress call of my little monkey wanting to be in bed with mom and dad vs. her most beautiful and O so comfortable pac-n-play. Since today is Mr. B's first day of classes, I didn't want him to not get enough sleep. So I bent just this time based on the circumstances. (If you haven't picked up on it just yet, we share the same room since we moved temporarily in with my folk, hey you can't beat free rent!)
Once she was in bed with us and barricaded between the wall and me (so she wouldn't interrupt dad's beauty sleep) she happily (and quietly might I add) talked herself back to sleep. That was short lived. She woke up again maybe 30 min. later and then proceeded to climb all over me trying to escape her barricade to no avail. This swiftly reminded me WHY I enforce the ''no sleeping with the P's'' rule. Any-who this went on and on (in between my sleep attempts) until I watched her trying to comfortable lay her head on our pillows and lay still like us. It was way cute and my que she was getting sleepy again. So a swaddled her up fed her a bit and like magic she fell fast asleep and didn't protest when I put her back into her bed.
Ah, peace at last. Except for the small detail that now I can't fall asleep! In fact I'm WIDE awake!!! After a quick pit stop and tanking a water bottle I realized my golden opportunity. If Mr. B is asleep along with my little Sweet Pea, then I can basically do whatever it is I want! AKA blog, facebook, tweet, you name it or... drum roll please... watch episodes of PSYCH!!! My only dilemma, well there are a few, 1. it's 5AM I could be catching beautiful z's and 2. this is dependent upon if I go to bed at a reasonable time. However, based on my pro's and con's list (I like to make lists) waking up in the early morning am is really out weighing the cons.
See if I'm already up, then it would be that much easier to get my booty out the door and running towards my daily running goals. The real topper to all this is the fact that I get a few good hours of 100% me time! Not to be selfish or anything, but a new mom with sooo... many dreams and goals needs a little bit of time to just unwind, or would it be wind up in a positive connotation since I'd be starting up for the day? Any-who, you get my drift.
So for the time being it has been decided that I am going to try out this new AM gig and see where it leads.
