Meet Dorothy



Cookies on her first Halloween outing. Last year she was only 10 months old and it was snowing. Mommy and Daddy didn't want candy THAT bad.


I had FOUR people ask if she was little red riding hood. The cape is BLUE people- wtf? Oh, not to mention the ruby slippers. People are blind sometimes to the obvious.

This year, she was spent after about 10 houses. Kinda bums me out because I was looking forward to the loot- but it is better for my waistline anyhow.

I am no longer sleeping at night. As soon as I get up to pee- that is the end of sleep for me. My daughter is restless, and my husband grinds his teeth like he is munching on carrots. As a result- I say even stupider things than usual, am emotionally shredded, and physically exhausted. Coffee doesn't even help anymore. So while I feel good- I don't. Not necessarily in a sad kind of way- but like I can NEVER feel rest. You are supposed to be able to come home and have a peace there that you cannot find elsewhere-- I don't have that. I feel worse here that I do other places. How saddening. Makes me want to rent a hotel room just so I can get a friggin break. Whine, whine whine whine.

I am sorry ahead of time if I offend anyone or say something idiotic over the next several weeks. My brain has been eaten- and I am more or less a zombie. Time to just stay out of people's hair.

Im sorry you're not sleeping. I hope you can get some rest soon... even if its passing out from shear exhaustion!
