The alarm jolts me from my slumber. It is 5:45 but it feel like 4:45. Not to mention, the baby didn’t sleep well last night. Midnight and her alarm cry sounds. I jolt awake and check the monitor torn between going to comfort her and letting her work it out. Thoughts rushing through my head. What could be wrong? A nightmare? A new tooth? She fusses for a bit then drifts off. This repeats and each time I tell myself I’ll wait just a few minutes then go in. But each time she drifts back off into a fitful sleep. Now I am awake and she is in dreamland.

Coffee Fueled Musings 
I have to double on the coffee this morning. Do you think it will take a week to adjust? xo
I hope not but I just can’t say. I need summer.
I guess the good news is that your little one was able to drift back to dreamland! The bad news . . . you wish dreamland was a place you could go . . . have a good day 😉
Ugh…that’s too early to begin the day, Katie – coffee or no coffee.
I hope you and baby can both sleep tonight at the same time.
Definitely too early a day. Hope you get some sleep tonight (and hope the baby does, too)!
