Inside a Mom's Head for 5 minutes (toy, clothes, kids, sleep)

I don't know about all you other moms, but this is similar to the thought process in my mind most of the day!

This is what goes through my head while I'm trying to fall asleep. Well at least when mine were small it was.

It goes all on my life. I've thought all those things

I love it!

me too. I stay awake half the night with these kinds of crazy thoughts going thru my head. DH says "Well if you'd go to bed at a decent hour you wouldn't be complaining about not enough sleep". What he doesn't understand is ..why get in the bed, turn off the light and lie there for 3 or 4 hours with thoughts like this half the night? i might as well be up on the computer, reading my kindle or watching a netflix show. he, on the other hand falls asleep before his head hits the pillow. I hate him.

Yes, I saw that article linked somewhere else, and thought this is so me.
I've had these exact same thoughts about the stuffed animals/carpets/dust mite colonies, and I freaked out in the same way when DS would sleep in later than usual and I realized he's been extra quiet and be almost scared to go into his room. Then of course he'd wake up and I'd wish for more sleep Oh, mommyhood.

Hmm I don't really have thoughts like that, probably I'm too laid back but its nice not to stress too much about things.

This is me constantly... Lol.. In fact, just now trying to find a laundry basket to empty the dryer all 3 laundry baskets that I have are full of CLEAN laundry from the past 2 weeks that I haven't had time to fold or hang.. 2 days ago, I repurposed one of the kids toy containers to a laundry basket since we had dirty clothes on the floor... Lol.. Don't even get me started with the dust mites...

Yeah...it all sounds pretty familiar to me as well.
