"Sleep deprivation and reality are my birthday gifts."

I read this post today, from one of the blogs I read, and I really liked it. She was talking about how both of her boys woke up super early on her birthday, and how it's impossible to predict your child's schedule for the day, and also how flexibility is a hard trait to posses. I agree. Flexibility is really hard for me sometimes, because I like to know what the plan is.

My favorite sentence from her post that hits home: "And nothing shines a bright light on my selfishness or controlling tendencies than children."
