it's 5:30 am….actually it was 5:30 am when I woke up…or was awaken by our 4 year old in our bed….who then woke up our 2 year old in her crib….I opened the blinds….not a soul or a sun in sight….not a daily news truck…not even a moon….just me and them…..having kids profoundly effects your sleep….I did a study on this in our house (apartment, whatever)….and everyone surveyed said they needed more sleep….when kids don't sleep enough they're cranky….when parents don't sleep enough they're cranky….even when parents do get enough sleep, many are still cranky…..many dads/men are just cranky b/c that's how men are supposed to be?? or that's how they are portrayed in society and men think that's cool or acceptable or whatever….but telling me your kids sleep every morning until 7 am or until you have to wake them up is like telling me it's 80 degrees in LA in January….I get it…you are well-rested and warm and I am not….you're going to the beach today and I am not….but here I am now writing this blog at 6:16 am (still dark) and getting stuff done….wait, I spotted a dog walker outside….humanity exists! I'm on my 2nd espresso shot….so i'm tired and starting to get wired and it's not even 6:30 am yet….and it's Sunday….so there's a long day ahead….and no, it won't be 80 degrees today here in #brooklyn….and it might snow or rain or hail….but i'm awake……dz
