Good Morning from the Atlanta airport.

We’ve been up all night on a red eye.

Averie and daughter Skylar

Punchy much?

Seriously though I have no complaints with my four year old traveling companion.  She is such a trooper.   She nodded off on the flight from San Diego to Atlanta for maybe an hour or so but the lure of the journey and not wanting to miss a thing trumps the lure of sleep when you’re four.

Hopefully on the next flight to Aruba she gets a little more shut eye.  I’d like to because at this point I’ve been up since early Friday morning, about 28 hours ago.

This is so worth it.

And now I’m off to get some of this…

Questions:

How well (or poorly) do you function on little to no sleep?

Before I became a mom, I was a “need my 8+ hours” girl.

Life changed and I adapted and I need so much less now.  More would be nice, but not essential.

And with a vacation, I can sleep on the beach so no biggie.

Can you sleep on airplanes?

Yes, but not in the past 5 years.  There is just no way with a child I can get any!

Between her fidgeting and me being ultra-aware of my surroundings, I rest quietly but I wouldn’t call it sleeping.  Not to mention, the ole neck kinks are more profound the older I get.  No way to really get comfy, that’s for sure.

Have a great weekend!

  1. I function VERY poorly on little sleep … especially when the little sleep is due to going to bed too late. I do a bit better if I go to bed early and then get little sleep.

    I can sleep on airplanes, but not well.

  2. You’re a super blogger getting in a post from the airport :)

    I like to have 8 hrs or more but I survive on less. I don’t have kids so the weekends are my catch-up time. I cannot sleep in an airport unless D promises to stay awake. I’m also ultra-aware of my surroundings. If I happen to doze off when I’m traveling alone, I wake-up in a panic!

    Safe travels and rest up once you arrive!

  3. Have lots of fun and take lots of pictures! Don`t spend all your time baking…..you can do that at home! Enjoy the sun and beach. Yet again you do live in Cali so that`s not to hard to find either. Look forward to reading your blog which your in Aruba.

  4. Oh wow hope you had a safe flight and trip to Aruba, you’re probably there now. Enjoy the sunshine and if there are hot men, send them my way ;)

  5. I can’t believe you blogged from the airport. Actually, no I can believe it. But, I can’t believe you blogged BEFORE coffee?!?! Crazy lady.

  6. I have never slept on a plane because I’ve only ever flown during the day. And I’m still a need 8+ hours girl. Hopefully I’ll be able to adjust if I have kids, but for now I need sleep!

  7. Cute photos, I’m traveling today too. I don’t function well on a lack of sleep, which is less than 5 hours. I get cranky and clumsy. And I can’t sleep on planes, too uncomfortable and loud.
