If you are a Mom, more than likely, you have experienced sleep deprivation at various times. For me, personally, I am in the midst of one of those seasons and thought it would be fun to do a top 10 post for y'all. Top 10 Signs you are Sleep Deprived 10. You speak in half sentences because the other half is stuck somewhere in your head. {Thankfully my teenager can decipher this rare dialect.} 9. You find yourself randomly waking up at 3 in the morning with the innate desire to pin. {It is amazing the awesome things you find on Pinterest at 3am!} 8. You may or may not have showered in a couple days because your brain is so sloth like that you forget whether or not you have... {No comment...lol} 7.

Somewhere in the middle of the day, Dan and I managed to watch a Jennifer Anniston movie while I was making celery raisin snacks for Isaac’s party.
