Cutting Corners

Since I've become a mom there have been some corners. It all started with the need to sleep more hours-- even just a few more minutes. Both of my babies have needed to sleep with me when they were young. Like I said I'll do anything to catch a few more minutes of sleep even if it seems short sighted, in the middle of the night that is all you want. SLEEP! This means that when I go to bed at night I wear my day clothes, my all day clothes, some of them used to be pregnancy clothes. My uniform consists of: a night nursing bra, a long tank top with a shirt over the top and yoga pants. I wear them when I wake up and then all day too! It's both good and bad. It's good to save time. It's bad because it's hard to tell when you're loosing or gaining weight. Those yoga pants just stretch with you. I also take showers at night. Change my underwear at night. I try to clean the house at night and prepare for the next day so that I don't have stress out about having a messy house when I wake up. In fact going off on a tangent...my house is cleaner now than it ever was pre-children. I know it's because I just need to have more order here. I live here.
