it is 10:53 pm i have set a bedtime for myself of about 11pm so i can be up by about 5:30 or 6 and have a decent amount of rest. i've joined a community of working and entrepreneur moms online called work it! mom. i'ts amazing how many of us lead such similar lives. i posted a question on the site asking how many hours of sleep do they get a night and they all said basically the same thing: about 6 average during weekdays and shoot for 8 on the weekends. wow! what is our society coming to? i am young, so can anyone tell me...was it always like this? don't get me wrong, i am very content with my life and am appreciative of everything i have...is there anything wrong though with a woman just wanting to have 1 or 2 hours a night to herself to do something therapeutic like blogging without having to cut into the 8 hours of sleep a night we need? i know there are several successful people in society who get less sleep than that on a regular basis. donald trump gets no more than 5 hours of sleep a night... i am not built that way though! i've tried on numerous occasions to get by on 5 hours a night, because there are other things in life i'd like to accomplish other than making the person i work for rich. i usually end up catching a cold or start falling asleep putting baby cakes to bed or something any way.

anyhoo, i am working on getting baby cakes into a language immersion program in the county for this fall as well as applying for early entrance for her since her birthday is 10/6. i think this is a tremendous opportunity for her, so please put it in prayer. i will visit her local school this friday to apply to 4 different area schools that have them for chinese, spanish, and french. awwwe my baby may start kindergarten this fall, sad and happy faces.
