Random Thursday

Ah Thursday. You want some randomness? How's this for random? 

That adorable little child in the photo to the right... she's been waking up between the hours of 1 and 3 AM for about a week now. Why it that random? Well it started randomly. I have no idea why. She wakes up, screams, I rock her for about 20 minutes, and then she's fine. But then I'm awake. And very sleepy the next morning. 

Here's something else random for you. Did you know that according to Listverse, the record for the longest period without sleep is 18 days, 21 hours, 40 minutes? It happened during a "rocking chair marathon". They say that record holder reported hallucinations, paranoia, blurred vision, slurred speech and memory and concentration lapses. 

Sounds a lot like being a mommy. A whole lot like being a mommy.

This is what scares me the most about being a mommy. Not the labor, not the costs, not the teen years. The lack of sleep. I don't know how to survive on less than seven consecutive hours of sleep a night.
