Quickly followed by kisshugnightbabysleeptightloveyou! And then I'm nothing but bummy and elbows to her. <br><br>But I love her more than anything, and sometimes about 30 minutes later I creep back to her room to cuddle and snorgle her a little longer. It's like at the end of the day I'm just DONE being a Mama, but then it only takes a few minutes to get recharged and I'm back in there needin' a fix. <br><br>I guess that makes me a motherhood junky?Megannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6910936761068547666.post-58403149207340623242008-07-11T11:20:37.000-07:002008-07-11T11:20:37.000-07:00I'm a fellow Busy Brain sufferer, but I didn&#...I'm a fellow Busy Brain sufferer, but I didn't know my condition had a name!

Sometimes it can take me hours to fall asleep because my brain is busy thinking up projects to keep me even more busy the next day.<br><br>I just love this image:<br><br>"Don’t even get me started on sleeping babies, with their little bums in the air like tiny stink bugs, cheeks rosy and damp. It’s too much to take."<br><br>It paints a perfect image of Janice's babies. Both Jackson (when he was a baby) and Olivia sleep like that -- with their little bums in the air. My baby girls both sleep on their sides so I never get to see "their little bums in the air like tiny stink bugs."Susan (5 Minutes for Mom)http://www.5minutesformom.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6910936761068547666.post-54998558322399073942008-07-12T07:48:20.000-07:002008-07-12T07:48:20.000-07:00I had already copied this part, to say AMEN - that...I had already copied this part, to say AMEN - that is the PERFECT description of how I feel:<br><br>"Yet, if you’re reading this blog, I suspect you understand this tension. I don’t know a mom alive who doesn’t fall madly in love with her children every night when she tucks them into bed. Sleeping children - hair smelling like Johnson’s, skin kissed by the sun - are the closest thing to angels this side of heaven. (Don’t even get me started on sleeping babies, with their little bums in the air like tiny stink bugs, cheeks rosy and damp. It’s too much to take.)"<br><br>When I clicked over and saw that Susan commented about the SAME thing! LOL We ARE twins!!! LOL And We are ALL OVER that little bum sticking int he air. AND add int he tiny little crossed feet and I am just so in love it is beyond what a heart can take. TOTAL bliss. <br><br>We are so giddy to have you and all of the teams too.
