Babies are a total time suck.
Did you know that?
Well, they are.
And a brain suck.
Good thing she’s cute.
She was really the best thing that happened in 2011 but throwing a baby into the mix hasn’t been easy either. I have had moments where I could feel myself evolving as a human being and then seconds later reverting back to animalistic behavior that could only be compared to a hormonal, PMSing female Hulk without a brownie that would make even The Hulk blush with embarrassment.
I truly feel like I am in a better place mentally and spiritually than I have been in years but I am always teetering on the edge of batsh!tcrazy. Always.
I often have these moments of clarity and epiphany and if I don’t get it written down or at least tell someone about it, I have forgotten it by the next day. I can, however, quote an entire episode of Big Bang Theory, Downton Abbey and liken any experience you or I may have to an old episode of Friends.
Babycakes was crawling by 5 months and into everything. She is just inches away from walking now at almost 9 months and not even falling down the stairs will deter her from taking over the world by her first birthday.
So, I haven’t fallen off the face of the earth yet. I am either fishing something out of a baby’s mouth, being barfed on, doing laundry,finding whatever I didn’t get out of her mouth in her diaper,doing laundry, staring at the wall saying ba ba ba ba ba or losing my ever loving mind. Not necessarily in that order.

Just think! In a few short years you can potty train her! I'm so glad Maylie isn't crawling yet :) you are a great mama and she is just so cute. And this feeling like a zombie won't last forever...right? Oh please someone tell me it won't....
Pretty soon she will be throwing grapes at you in those moments of wall staring saying, "She needs food!"
I love her legwarmers. She's cool.
I too am staring at the wall ... rocking and jabbering ... I have no children to blame ... how pathetic am I?
The joys, Time Suckers is so right on, I can't believe it's 4:30 pm, I'm still in my Jammies and baby just had her bath....and DANG my cute sister beat me to the "OVERBOARD" line.
