The Wednesday Simmer - I'm In A Newborn Exhaustion State Of Mind

7/30/2014

I sit here writing this blog post with my eye lids half closed, a constant craving for chocolate and a cup of coffee that feels so heavy in my hand, it could be mistaken for a ton of bricks.  Yes, newborn exhaustion has officially taken over.  Sure, I can handle it.  After all, this is my third go around.  But this time, not only am I tired, but I have officially forgotten the english language too.  Maybe that's what happens when you have three.  Just yesterday it took me six minutes to remember the words salad dressing.  Also, at some point throughout each day, everything goes dark and I can't remember why I walked into that room or what my dog's name is.  Scary stuff.

And speaking of scary stuff.......the hormone monsters have attacked my body.  So not only am I forgetful and exhausted, I laugh and then cry at the drop of a hat.  I watched two young sisters on You Tube singing a song together and completely melted down over their beautiful voices.  Then I quickly switched gears and was laughing my head off because of how emotional I was being.  That's when everyone in my family looks at me like I have five heads.  Even my dog.  I realize there really is a light at the end of this newborn exhaustion state of mind tunnel.  I just hope I can still remember my name at that point.

Don't worry, we'll catch you up on everything that's happened when the fog clears. Do you need more brownies? I can make them with the coffee in the batter...one stop shopping.

Yeah.. somehow knowing it´ll pass doesn´t help when you´re living it. Sending you wakeful, clarity moments.. will be there in 2 weeks to take orders, too.. or give them if you can´t think of what to order me to do.

    Welcome to the Noodles On The Wall Blog, a place where I share the trials and tribulations of a creative noodle maker. (That's me!) My life is full of noodles and I've learned it takes a dash of inspiration and a pinch of creativity to throw them up on the wall to see if they stick. Hope you stick around!
