You are feeling veeerrrryyyyy sleeeeeppppyyyyyy

My friends with kids keep warning me of how severely life will change post-baby. "You won't go out for dinner anymore...I can't remember the last time I watched Leno."

I understand that life is going to change. I even understand that I don't fully comprehend the extent of the imminent shift in my life. But there is one thing that I know for sure: our 6-year old neighbour has a richer social life than I do.

On Friday evening, he was prepping for a night out. The neighbourhood was buzzing with activity - road hockey, talk of Halloween parties, and basketball in the driveway. I was in my pajamas at 7:30 pm and asleep by 8.

This routine repeated on Saturday and Sunday evenings. Plus I had a few naps thrown in for good measure.

If parenting a newborn involves never leaving the house and wearing pajamas 24/7, I'm already halfway there.
