Random Observations from a sleep-deprived mind

• There is no Food Network before 9:30am. Just infomercials.
• If you check online papers in the middle of the night and then again in the morning (thinking, oh it’s a new day!), don’t expect any new content — it’s only been a few hours!
• Our family now qualifies for the 3 person carpool lane, giving us faster access to our highway exit. Sweet!
• Babies may have to learn how to talk but they don’t have to learn how to giggle and laugh.
• I find a certain irony in seeing a parent drive their kid door to door to collect pledges for a walkathon. Then again, maybe it’s a tactic to save their little feet for the big event. (But it’s not like our driveways are very far apart here!)
• A baby can’t tell you why he’s crying but at least he can’t talk back at you yet.
• Reading while sleep-deprived is so much fun. You see a word like “carpet” and you think “oh so people are keeping cars as pets now, eh!???” and then you think “I’m such an idiot. Of course they mean that there are now cars designed for pets.”
• You know that movie theater song that goes something like “Let’s go out to the lobby, let’s go out to the lobby, let’s go out to the lobby, and get ourselves a snack.” Well, it’s the same tune as “The bear went over the mountain.” This is something our baby would have already learned — if only he understood English.
• When your husband claims the baby can play “rock, paper, scissors” just smile and nod. Do not argue that the baby is actually playing “rock, rock, rock” or at best “rock, paper, rock.”
