LATE NIGHT MUSINGS (HELLO WORLD, I AM BACK.)

1. having a baby for the first time makes you so tired cause you have no idea what to expect. like labor and post partum recovery were no biggy but my child is what we call a micro-napper, and when she was two weeks old i remember thinking "how am i even alive right now? when was the last time i brushed my teeth? how am i supposed to keep this completely helpless human alive when i haven't slept at all?"
anyway, "this too shall pass" is now my favorite phrase. i can remember thinking "how in the world do people stay up til 8:00?!" and the other day i accidentally stayed up til 2am reading a book.
womp.

2. portland is having an indian summer, if you will, and i hate it. i've said it before, and i'll say it again, i hate hot weather. give me cold, give me snow and rain (actually just give me snow) and i will be the happiest little person.

3. how come wizards can literally regrow bones but they can't fix harry's poor eyesight and he has to wear glasses the rest of his life?

4. the first three months i had a baby i felt like i was drowning. 100% drowning. how do people decide to have more kids after their first? why am i not enjoying this as much as everybody else's instagram pictures say they're enjoying motherhood? and then my child started to smile and roll (that was actually kind of annoying cause she would roll and then get stuck) and now she has reactions to everything and she plays peekaboo. man, having a 7 month old is seriously fun.

5. i had to get a new phone and the hardest part now is deciding if i want the ringtone to be the parks and rec theme or the office theme. i mean, i know the office is old and not really trendy anymore and i just love leslie knope so much but the office is one of my first loves. erryone please cast your votes.

6. are blogs even cool anymore? i feel like i still love blogs but i don't have time for blogs.

7. i started making christmas presents like a month ago and i thought i was being awesome by getting a major head start but now when jane goes to bed instead of working on said presents i just want to turn into a slug on the couch.

from the other morning when it was cool enough to make hot chocolate. (only, this is chocolate milk in a mug because i ran out of hot chocolate mix and also regular cups.)
