Living the third shift lifestyle leaves you feeling like you've crammed several days all in one. This morning at around 2 am I made tacos 'cuz it was supper/lunch time. I was wide awake and it felt like it should've been noon not 2 am. It's rather surreal. I have tried switching over completely to third shift so I can be sleeping when Nathan is sleeping and be up when he is, even if he's at work, but I must be a pansy as I usually only can make it to about 5 or 6 and I get tired and go to bed.
It tends to work out though. If Nathan is home he will play his video games for a couple of hours while I'm in bed and it gives him a chance to wind down to go to bed. It also leaves him awake for when I have an 'episode' he hears me and can come calm be down and put me back to bed. Some mornings this happens multiple times. Which is rough, 'cuz I tend to wake up feeling like I haven't slept.
He knows the drill now and is so sweet about comforting me. I generally only remember waking up to him talking to me or hugging me. He sometimes has to snap his fingers or turn on a light to snap me out of it. I know it bothers him that he can't do anything to prevent them, but he is great about dealing with them. I really couldn't ask for a better husband.

Love your template, Ashley! :) And I love your cookie baking story. I have yet to try baking anything... mostly because we are slowly but surely buying groceries and I'm not sure we have everything I would need to bake yet. HaHa! Also, we don't have drying racks either... hmm... once in college my roommates & I used our fridge shelves for cookie drying racks... HaHa! It worked, but mostly because we had very few items in the fridge. :)
