and MOMMY tired.
ha.
i'm sure people could go on for dayyyyyys with their own "proof," but here are just a few of mine:
You know you are "mommy tired" when....
you find the peanut butter in the fridge and the jelly in the pantry...
when you repeat the same story to your husband for the third time in an afternoon...
when you have the diaper bag, your work bag, the baby carrier, your lunch, the kiddos lunch and your 2-year old all out the door and are so proud because for once, just once you aren't late and then you realize on your way out the driveway that that's not your cell phone in your hand...it's the t.v. remote...
when you can't remember the last time your poor neglected dog got actual dog food...
when you can't muster up the energy after a long day at work to stop your 2-year old from doing something so terribly destructive. you just sit there in your tired stupor and laugh...
when you pull a shirt out of the pile on your bedroom floor and actually NOTICE this time that is has that dried shoulder drool/milk smear...and wear it anyway...
when "dinner" is what's left on the highchair tray...
when you swear you are doing that early morning juice pour with your eyes closed...
and this one takes the cake:
when you realize, not in the car, not in the parking lot, but IN THE STORE that you failed to put anything on under your ratty oversized sweatshirt. Awesome.
All true.
Even in this magical time right now where both babies are sleeping mostly through the night...I still get that "Mommy" kind of tired after sick nights, days with shots, early mornings, etc. and ya know what, i just laugh and embrace the bags under my eyes and messy house because i'm with a large Army of mommies who are right there with me--at work with dried spit up on their shoulder, pouring juice half-asleep for an early riser, eating half-chewed bites of cold pizza off the high chair...
i'm not alone.
us mommies, we laugh and love together.
and awake, we dream of one sweet day,
sleep.
