Oh NO, It Is Happening Already

A few months back John and I were out eating.  I think that we were at Jason's Deli after church on a Sunday at lunch as well as most everyone else in Little Rock.  It is a popular spot for families.  John asked, "So how come it seems that all new moms have these huge bags under their eyes?"  I wanted to laugh and cry at the same time.  I ended up laughing as I explained that they don't get much sleep since they are up feeding babies at all hours of the night.  

Now, I'm crying.  I already have these huge dark circles under my eyes.  I noticed it yesterday.  I haven't been sleeping well nor have I really had the energy to put on make-up.  The combination of the two is not a pretty sight.  I actually almost bought a $60 pillow today that is supposed to help you sleep.  During normal waking, sunlit hours, $60 for a pillow seems absurd.  But in the dark hours of the night when sleep seems so far away, mere pennies!  I didn't buy the pillow--but I'm sure I'll send John after it in a few more days.
