One Day at a Time

That is my new mantra. There is absolutely no reason to worry about tomorrow or next week or next month. I do not need to think about what is on my to-do list for, say, Friday. Only what I need to get done today.

It's seems so simple, but I really made myself start doing this today and I feel SO much better. It has to be working because I am in a fairly good mood for only have gotten about 2 hours of sleep last night...

I know the whole thing about not being able to sleep now may be your body's way of preparing you for the feedings and changings and whatnot all throughout the night with a newborn, but it reminds me of what my aunt used to do with my cousins every year when we were younger. At the end of the school year, about 2 weeks before school started back up again, she would start making them go to bed and get up at the times they would need to for school. Like a practice before the real thing. This didn't only suck for them, but me too, because that was the end of sleepovers and swimming pool late nights and camping trips. No fair! We only have 2 weeks left to cram as much summer fun in and it is cut short, just like that. Lame! That's how I feel about this. Like, c'mon! I only have a month left that I can sleep through the night, peacefully, no interruptions! But Nooooooo. Body wants to prepare me. GRRR!
