That's what I am. Although, why do we even use that expression? I mean, every dog I know gets like 20 hours of sleep a day. And when they are awake, their time is occupied with eating, playing, licking . . . uh, you get the picture. I do recognize that there are some very hard-working canines out there -- seeing eye dogs, fire dogs, sled dogs, etc. But the majority enjoy the aforementioned lifestyle.
I don't know any dogs who haven't slept more than two hours straight in the past three years. Who pace the house with a teething baby all night, or are awakened by the cries of a thirsty toddler. I'm not complaining about my life. I wouldn't trade my babies for all the sleep in the world. No, what I want to see changed is this inaccurate expression. I move that we change it to "mom tired." Definitely more appropriate!
Sorry for the ramblings. I really am tired. Morgan is still gone, and won't be back for another couple of weeks. He hasn't had a day off in over a month, so I know he is tired too. When he gets back, maybe he can take like two weeks off, and we can take turns sleeping!
Anywho, I have been working on my Morocco Monday posts, but they aren't ready quite yet. I am still taking pictures of the house, but I want everything to look perfect. I have some pictures out being framed right now, and we are getting new awnings on the outside, and I want to show you the house at its best. I am also working on pictures for a post about the kids' school. A friend requested a post on driving in Morocco, and I am going to do that as soon as Morgan gets back, because I need to be a passenger in the car while we're out in order to get the pictures and videos to do the post justice.
Some of you have asked some great questions, and I am not ignoring them. I am going to do a question and answer post soon, so send me your queries!
And I don't want to send you away empty-handed, so here are some pictures of my Moroccan monkeys:
This one's for you, Aunt Tracy! Check out Lydia's team name! Her coaches always tell me what a little athlete she is.
Most of the trees in our yard are palm trees, which are not good for climbing. But we do have a very young fruit tree in the corner, and Liam is just the right size to not break it by climbing its branches. Hopefully it will grow at the same rate he grows!
And my sweet baby. Look at that face! He melts my heart. I almost don't even mind being awoken every hour or so during the night by this face. Almost.
This woman was kind enough to let me take her picture. Moroccans don't always want their pictures taken. She is sifting the wheat by hand. There are lots of ladies doing this same thing throughout the market.
