My fb feed is blowing up with my high school reunion updates

All I can think is how amazing laying in bed, drinking a beer and watching tv is instead of being at said reunion.

Why pay to see people you couldn’t be bothered keeping in touch with?

Why pretend like all the sudden y’all are BFFs?

Sorry bitches, I haven’t talked you for ten years, not gonna start now.

I might have to turn tomorrows exhibit trip into a date

Which means putting on make-up and a cute outfit and maybe even smell nice.

That sounds like a lot of work.

Mannnnn.

Every time Lola tells her baby to go to time out

I take a drink.

Lola was up all night sick

From 3 am until now Lola was awake, either being sick or wanting to play and this mama is freaking exhausted.
I don’t know how I am going to get through the day. Not to mention its “hell week” and all I want to do is sleep, eat chocolate and cry. Ugghhhhh

What time does your toddler go to bed?

I have been noticing Lola doesn’t enjoy going to bed when it is light out so I have pushed her bedtime back to 7:30-8pm. I know a lot of people who think this is too early. Lola hardly ever naps anymore and on a lucky day she may go down for 30-45min. So by the time dinner and bedtime roll around she is cranky and exhausted. Not to mention by 7pm I am exhausted. To be completely honest, by 7pm all I want is a break too. I have heard repeatedly how if I kept her up later she would sleep later and all that jazz, so I started asking friends/internet friends when they put their children to bed. To my surprise many people said 9-10pm! That just seems so late to me. I in no way think its “wrong” or “too late” because what works for them works for them ya know? But it made me curios. How many other folks have night owl children? What are the perks? For me personally, if Lola went to bed that late, I would never have time to myself in the evening to wind down, relax and prep for the next day. Just thinking about it makes me want to yawn. 

So mama’s when does your little ones hit the sack?

I have an OBSCENE amount of photos of Lola

Obscene. Amount. 

Now I have my nikon working again…which means more pics.

I think I am going to drown in photos.
