MOTHERHOOD AT 52

Sleep deprivation is one of the many reasons we should have children at a relatively young age. We can survive on 3-4 hours sleep - might be grumpy, might feel like trash, but we can survive.
At 52, just missing my afternoon nap feels like death!
But since we have a new puppy, it's become a minute-to-minute surveillance - okay, he just work up - rush him outside to pee. Yikes, he might be squatting - rush him outside to poop. Hey, he just ate something... take him outside, quick! Whoops - I missed some signal - let's get the paper towels and OxyClean out again.
At least at night he is sleeping in my husband's bedroom. But I am getting way too old for even DAYS like this.
