My initial negative experience with a new baby was the lack of sleep. During those first few months I'd have given anything for a good night's rest or even a half hour nap, but that tiny dictator wouldn't allow it. Now that I'm a senior citizen with all the time in the world, I still don't get enough sleep. This seems to be a common complaint of older people...I can remember my grandfather rising every morning at 4 AM long after he retired and my dad commenting that he was "an old fool". Well, we have a couple of old fools in our house right now. The DH gets up anywhere from 2 to 4 AM, smokes his pipe, makes coffee, goes on line and reads about the world's problems. I wake up to use the bathroom and can't go back to sleep, so here we are, roaming around wondering what we're going to do all day. Of course, by afternoon we're worn out, take a nap and the whole cycle starts over again. I guess it's true that there's no fool like an old fool!
