Motherhood

It used to be that i'd be awake at one AM and the party was just really getting good, I was just catching a good buzz and the nightlife was happening!!!
  Now those days are long gone. When someone asks me what I wish for, I wish for sleep. I even dream of getting sleep.
But right now, it's yet another night up with the little person who just doesn't seem to care what time it is because she's a baby without a care in the world and she can sleep whenever she wants to.
  I walk into her room and she is sitting up in her crib just grinning from ear to ear. I know that if I smile at her then she will laugh and I will laugh. Then the idea of her going back to sleep will lessen.
Come on, how can you not smile at your little angel that seems to be so happy to see you? Ahhhh, such is life as a mother.
  You are irritated that you have only slept for three hours, that you had to literally drag yourself to an upright position and throw yourself out of bed and into your slippers. You want nothing more then to crawl right back into your warm bed. On the other hand, This little smiling bundle of joy is awake and she wants to play with her mommy. So, I give in.  I go into her room, walk up to her crib and return her great big loving smile!  We share some coos and giggles.  I hug and kiss her and sweetly tell her that is is time to be sleeping.
  I wrap her all snug in her blanky and I quietly walk out hoping that she will go back to sleep.
These are the moments that I will always remember! 
The moments that will forever be imprinted upon my heart!  My late nights with my smiling angel!
And now that she appears to be asleep again, I am gonna try to get some sleep myself! : )
