Luxuries

I find that as a parent to small children things that were everyday 'normal' have now become a luxury:
-eating slowly
-finishing a conversation
-watching T.V
-spontaneous intimacy with Robert
-going to the bathroom alone
-sleep! Right now more than 2 hours in a row
-grocery shopping without rushing
-grooming
-watching movies in a movie theater

The truth is that everything on this list is possible but everything must be well planned- except sleep. I don't sleep a whole lot of hours in a row now. Even though we tried to let Noah figure out how to fall asleep on his own. He didn't figure it out so even the amount he sleeps must be well planned for.
