Last night was a good night...
After weeks and weeks {and weeks} of getting up one to two times a night with Ocho, last night was our best night yet.
I heard him whine and got up to take him out...looked at the clock on the way out, and was surprised to see that it was 5:45 am! Not 3:00 am as it's been, or even 4:00 am. 5:45!!!
That means that Kelley got a total of 6 hours and 45 minutes of straight, solid, deep sleep. Not once did I even get up to go to the bathroom myself. I haven't had that in so long, and today
I felt wonderful!
I had energy! I felt outgoing! I was laughing and singing and being silly. Oh what a difference sleep makes with me.
And me being an 8 hour of sleep girl...to think that a measley 6 hours 45 minutes would make me so dang giddy. Who woulda thunk.
In other news...it's been brought to my attention that I have a southern accent now.
WHAT!?!?!?
This first came about when I was in St. Louis, MO {my midwestern hometown} and a sales clerk asked me where I was from. When I told her St. Louis, she looked at me like I was crazy.
Now, last week, our newest co-worker told me that I sound more southern than some of the real southerners there!!! How is that possible? I told her that surely she's crazy.
Only I think she's right! I'm noticing it more and more. Now that I'm aware of it, I've been listening to myself...catching myself drawling words, not enunciating, dropping off whole last syllables! This blows my mind! How do I get back to my midwestern enunciating speech?????

An accent? Hum.. I will have to listen more closely I guess? But then again I'm not sure I would pick up on it since i am positive I have the same accent! lol Nothing at 'tall wrong with dropping whole last syllables *laugh*
Well, the last time I talked to you, you still sounded like a Yankee to me. ; ) Of course, when I met your Texas co-workers, they thought I had a Southern accent, so I guess it's relative. I say don't worry about your midwestern speech. You're not in broadcasting! Just go with the flow girl!
Also, great news about Ocho! Maybe he'll start sleeping a solid 8. Or more!
