It seems like lately I’m just having a lot of days where I’m just dragging! I mean, some good things are happening and all right now, but I’m having a hard time staying motivated and positive about a lot of things.
Now normally I can trace it back to something, but I’m having a hard time doing that this time. Hopefully it’s just a short phase…cause I got plenty to do.
Actually, I think one of the big things for me right now is that I’m not getting enough sleep. I really need to set myself some sort of a curfew and then actually stick with it!
Anybody else have any ideas or had this type of problem before? Any ideas on how to get out of it?

Last night was something to be remembered: our newborn (well, technically he’s over 2 months old now) actually slept through the night! Now admittedly he’s done this one other time, but I figured it was just a fluke. Now he’s done it twice, so I’m getting some hope that more normal nights are on the horizon!
For anyone that has never had a baby, I would have to say that the first month and a half to two months are probably the hardest. It gets really tiring when you have to get up every 2-3 hours to help your wife with the baby. Not fun. But after about 2 months things seem to normalize a little bit more.
Who knows, maybe sometime soon I’ll actually get a whole 3 days of normal sleep! Now that would be awesome!

No, not the metal head, long haired freaks. I’m talking about the energy drink!
So with a new baby, wife going through surgery, and being incredibly busy I find that Rockstars are a great way to keep me going through the day. I’ve tried other energy drinks, but I think they have the best flavor. Oh, and by the way, this is not a sponsored post at all, I just wanted to talk about them today!
Have you ever tried the Juiced flavors? Man, I must say that I love the mango-orange-passion fruit one. Good stuff.
One downside to Rockstars and other energy drinks: I hear that if you drink them a lot they really reek havoc on your teeth. I don’t really know if this is true or not, but I’ve heard info that says so. Also, I really really don’t want to become caffeine dependent. I know some people that were personally on some level dependent on caffeine and they would get these horrible headaches unless they had some caffeine. Not good!
So for now, I’ll use a Rockstar when necessary, but eventually I’m hoping life gets back to a somewhat normal sleeping schedule. I can’t wait until this new baby starts sleeping through the night…..

I’m starting to realize that I could really use a new bed. My wife and I are still sleeping on the same mattress that we bought when we first got married almost 6 years ago. I guess the normal lifespan of a mattress is supposed to be 10 years or so, but I’m thinking that only counts when you buy a high quality mattress. Ours doesn’t fit that description!
So now I’m starting to think about some of the options out there. Here are a couple that I’ve thought of:
- Sleep number
- Memory foam mattress
- Latex mattress
Granted I need to research each of these more, but I’m leaning more towards the Sleep Number or a memory foam mattress. If anybody has any recommendations, I’d love to hear them! I guess they all have their benefits and I’ll really need to research them more to decide what to do. That and save up the money cause the good beds sure are pricey!
