I’m overwhelmed.

I can’t sleep, working late has been the worst.

I get home and try to lay down and sleep at 4 o’clock in the morning.

Steven takes up half of the bed, and Olivia is laying long ways on the other half.

Where do I fit so I can lay down you ask?

Upside down, with my feet where my head should be.

Im feeling sorry for myself and thinking, ugh why can’t I just lay down, sleep, and just stretch my legs out.

Just wait, stop complaining.

I take a couple minutes and listen to the sound of their breathing and feel the warmth of Olivia’s feet on me. And think maybe I don’t have it so bad.

We’re all going to get older, she’s not going to stop growing and one day, she’s not going to be laying sideways in our bed.

Oh God, how i’m going to miss these days when they are long gone.

So maybe not being able to fall asleep right now isn’t so bad. I have my family (cats included) in one place right now in the biggest snuggle pile.

So I’ll suck it up, stop feeling sorry for myself and just close my eyes and think about just how good I have it and how lucky I am right now.

Thank you, God for this life.

Thanks for joining me!
