Before I had my baby, I had no idea how much free time I had.  Oodles of it.  And I never appreciated it.  Now, of course, there is no free time at all, period.  My husband and I wake up early, get dressed, feed and dress our daughter, take her to day care, go to work, pick her up from day care, cook dinner, feed her, bathe her, put her to bed, and then work on the website for a few hours.  This leaves very little time for sleeping.  Weekends are not much different; there's always so much that has to be done.  I used to be a late sleeper on the weekends, but I haven't slept past 7:30 am in a year and a half. 

I'm not complaining... I wouldn't change a thing.  But it's getting harder to maintain a clear head during the day when averaging about 6 hours of sleep per night.  I find myself getting loopy at work.  Yesterday, I yawned all the way through a meeting with my boss (I think he noticed).  I find myself depending more and more on caffeine, which bothers me because I hate the thought of being addicted to anything.

Possible solutions: ease up on the website work?  Can't do that yet; I need to try to make it a success, and that takes a lot of time and energy.  Quit my job?  I wish... but not financially doable.  Take naps at lunchtime?  I've actually done this a couple of times, but it's not really enough time to get any decent sleep.

Oh, well, bring on the coffee!
