I Want That

Ask my daughter, "What's mommy's favorite thing to do?" & without missing a beat, she'll tell you, "sleep".  What I wouldn't do for 8 hours of peaceful, uninterrupted sleep...   It's bad enough that my newborn wakes me up every 3 to 4 hours, but I also have a 6 year old that frequently makes her way into our bed.  Is that a hand or a foot that just touched my face?  Why does she need to sleep horizontally?  I'm tired!  I wish that my body didn't crave so much sleep.

A colleague of mine at New York County Defender Services, claimed that she needed only 4 to 5 hours of sleep.  She would go to sleep after midnight and be at the gym by 5.  It is said that Bill Clinton and Martha Stewart also survive on little sleep.  Are they secret nappers?  Did the lack of sleep cause them to make poor judgment calls?

A couple of weeks ago, I read an article in the NY Times entitled: Mutation Tied to Need for Less Sleep Is Discovered.  The article can be found at http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/14/health/research/14sleep.html?_r=1&pagewanted=print

Abnormal copies of gene DEC2........  
                                                    I WANT THAT!!!!!

What would I do with those extra hours?  Would I be more productive?  Would I work out more?  Would it allow me to spend more time with my family?

I guess I'll never know.  GOOD NIGHT!

New Features & Plans for the Future

As I originally planned this blog to be more than just a vehicle for my musings &/or rants, at the bottom of this blog, you will find some new features.  They include information about:

  • Domestic Help
  • Volunteer Opportunities
  • Maternity Clothes/ Baby Clothes & Supplies
  • Things to Do
So, if you have anything related to these items that you want to be included, please let me know.  I'm also looking for ideas for additional tabs.

In the future, as soon as my crack blog/website gurus get around to it, I intend to include articles & cases from around the country that may be of interested to us women ... or at least are of interest to me.

Stay tuned......
