Do you still get to claim mommy brain when your child is 7 months old?  I must admit, I’ve had a pretty hard time adjusting to day light savings time fall back.  Last night, I went to bed at 8:00 because I was just so exhausted and needed the sleep.  At 2:00, I woke up feeling pretty rested thinking it was 5:00.  So I went down stairs, let Rocky out and went ahead and got Mason’s bottles ready for the day.  Afterwards, I went back to sleep.  Mason later wakes up at 4:40, so I nurse him and put him back in his crib.  Normally, I would jump back in bed and sleep until around 5:30 and then rush to get ready, but since I was very rested, I went ahead and got ready myself.  To my surprise, I got ready pretty quickly and at 5:30, I was pretty much done.  So I go ahead and get dressed and right before I walk out of my closet, I take one last look in the mirror and see that I have no makeup on.  I literally was about to head to work with no makeup.  Then I think, well no wonder why I have all this extra time?!.  So I finish getting ready, head down stairs, clean up a bit and head out the door.  About half way to Nashville, I think I better call Carter to see how Mason was doing, because he had a little cough this morning.  I grab my purse and pull everything out trying to find my phone to no avail.  After I accept the fact that I must have left it at home, I realize that my phone is plugged into the AUX input and I’ve been listening to music from my iPod.  Seriously, has all this sleep made me looney?  I think my body has just adjusted to only 5-6 hours of sleep and doesn’t know what to do with all this misplaced energy.
