To be a sleep deprived mom...

...is to feel like her contacts are always cloudy

...is to find the remote control, phone, and car keys in the fridge (not put there by children)

...is to have below-zero patience for a toddler to wants to "Do it myself!"

...is to forget what it's like to have a real hair style

...is to wear PJs 24/7

...is to feel like she just can't

...is to work really hard to hold a conversation and even harder to remember it later

...is to think PB&J sandwiches for every meal is an awesome idea

...is to be the world's most awful wife

...is to not know the day of the week but to know it's not the weekend

...is to think that "living in filth" is not as bad as the 6 o'clock news makes it sound

...is to not remember how she spends her waking moments

...is to wish that her facebook friends were more active between 11p.m. and 5 a.m.

...is being okay with her left shoulder smelling like spoiled milk

...is to feel numb...yet feel intensely

...is to drive without seeing signs and lights

...is to miss her dreams of Dr. House

...is to wish everyone else were sleep-deprived, too, 'cause there's nothing more defeating than a fellow perky mom who's got it all together
