The Darkness

It's getting to be that time of year. The time of year when it gets dark so dang early. Granted - we have 3 more hours of light NOW than we will in 3 months but I don't like it. By 8:30 I'm pooped and want to crawl into bed to hibernate. If it was mid-June I'd have energy til 11!! I think I am solar powered. Hopefully once we get settled into the new place and can turn on the gas fireplace in the evenings and RELAX I won't feel like ending my days at 8.....but I might anyway!

I'm usually close to bed by 9:30 or so. You're not alone in missing the light. I was reading on the swing outside most of the day and had to go in to put on socks and a jacket and pretty soon, I couldn't see the pages anymore. Hrmph. I finished the book in my chair downstairs. I was not happy with that.

Carrie, I'm the same way but I feel it in the mornings. In the summer I can get up before 6a without any problem. In the winter I could sleep until 9a. Well, probably not anymore but you know what I mean.

and IT'S A GIRL!! I'll do a proper introduction later and the whole story and everything but in the meantime, we had a baby girl. 2:15pm on Friday afternoon (I posted at, what? 10;30am? You do the math!!). Her name is Dahlia Marie and she weighed in at a whopping 6lbs even. 19 1/4" long and so incredibly gorgeous (although, I might be a wee bit biased). The birth was the most amazing experience I've ever been through and my mind is still, well, blown, quite frankly. I am so tired though...time for a quick nap before we try to feed again.

Privacy, please!

Well, the time has come. After 6 1/2 years (!?) Naturally Optimistic will be going private at the start of the new year. If you are interested in still reading my INCREDIBLY exciting posts & commenting on my cute children, email me & I will put you on the invite list. Like I said - it won't happen for another couple weeks, but there ya go. Time to make a change. I'm kind of sad because I've met some cool people - randomly - by having this blog....but the phase of putting all my stuff out there for everyone to read is over. Thanks!
