Speaker 1 (00:01):
Yo, wake up.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Oh man, oh man, Hi everybody.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
You know. I know it's just a It's a small
chapter in the book of Ashley's life. And I know
that I just a day in the life of of
my My home life right now is crazy. There's just sleep.
Sleeping is of nothing. We don't sleep anymore. Sleeping doesn't exist.
Somebody's always up, somebody's always crying, somebody always wants to
suck on the teat.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
But you know, today a little Daisy is eight months old,
which is crazy crazy.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
I walked in and you looked up at me. I'm like,
oh no, I haven't. I literally in the car, it
hasn't been this bad. And I had to drive half
of the drive with the like falling asleep. I my
eyes closed a couple of times, like physically close.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
It scared me.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
I think for us or for you specifically, the challenging
thing is our schedule too, because I think most parents
can probably be up like all night or up in
the morning, maybe they go to their nine to five.
This job doesn't allow for that. Yeah, And I'm not
saying one is easier than the no, but this one,
like when it comes to sleep, it's awful.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Yeah, and this job.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
I'll say, like, listen, I get to be home by
one o'clock at the latest, and I get to spend
the afternoon with my kids, which is great, and a
lot of people can't say that. But you know, the
day is shrunk because you're going to bed early, because
you're up early, and it's just to.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Do this job.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
You at minimum want to try to get like the
six hours of sleep.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
I like, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
I might have got to last night. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
It's just it's crazy land over there and the toddler
she's up a lot, screaming and yelling. And then I'll
get in there and I'll be like, like screaming, like horrifying.
You think something's really wrong. And I would go in
a room and I'd be like, what.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Cover my feet? Cover my feet?
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Did you cover them? No?
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Because I was a livid, I said, we don't call
for mommy like that unless you have.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
To go peepy.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Good, that's it. Good.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Can you raise your toes?
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Yeah, okay, then you can cover them yourself.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
This is crazy because there are a lot of parents
out there that would have done it, and then that
would have led to continuous like I can't.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
She's a terrorist emotionally, and she knows what she's doing,
and it's just it's crazy.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
I mean, the baby's the baby. She can't.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Yeah, And I always I hustle in there with the
baby because she's if she's crying, she's hungry. There's no
I don't question that because she's not up a lot,
and when she is, she wants to eat. And again
it's she's eight months, like this isn't me breastfeeding and
getting up in the middle of the night, like it's
not going to.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Be much longer, you know. Just yesterday I was going
through the area where I have a lot of the.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Baby stuff and the layless stuff, and there were bottles
that we had tried that didn't work. So I bagged
up all the bottles to like donate, and I thought
to myself, oh my god, once this is over with
her and babyland, it's over. I'm not doing this again.
And then I get emotional thinking that that's it. Yes,
this is our unit now, we're a family of four,
(03:29):
and that's it. I mean this wholeheartedly. If I wasn't
thirty eight going to be thirty nine this year, I
would try one more time, which is crazy to say
because I never thought I would utter those words, but
I would.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
But you're healthy.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Thirty nine Cassie just announced her pregnancy. Cassie like Diddy's
ex Cassie. She's thirty eight. She's actually born of the
same year as me, eighty six.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
I don't know, dude, It's completely doable.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
It is.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
It is.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
It's doable, but it's just I do the math on
it and it's like not, I just.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Well, then that's the other part because my mother was
forty four when she had my sister. My mother is
like a hundred now, so it's like it's tough, like
you've done a hundred.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
But yeah, and I just want to be I want
to be around and able to do things. And it's
just the longer, you know, say, we got prentered the
end of the year and now we're talking I'm close
to forty yet. But it's just it's not it's not
in the carts and we all know my history, so
it wouldn't be like a one and done situation. It's
just but it's sad, like it's eight I'm so excited
(04:26):
that she's eight months and she's saying things now she's
sitting up in her crib.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
But it's just wild.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Yeah, and it goes by faster too.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
It's sort of how is she eight months old? Like how?
Speaker 3 (04:37):
I know?
Speaker 2 (04:38):
It's crazy, it's crazy.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
And then they start talking and then next thing you know,
you're having get togethers with other like kids and boys
and all stuff. So it's just like, what is happening now?
Speaker 4 (04:47):
I keep telling these years because once they hit those teams,
everyone want they want nothing to do with you.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
So many I know so many, so many parents write
me and they're like, oh my god, like cherish, you
don't have I do? I I get it, I do.
I don't sleep and I drink like twelve coffees a day.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
But can you imagine that there's gonna be a time
you're gonna miss these days. I'm gonna look at them
as an eighteen year old be like, damn, I missed
waking up and you're telling me to cover.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Your feet, do you know what?
Speaker 1 (05:15):
I can't even envision them going to school and there
being times where I get home from here and no
one's at the house. That to me is like that's
not gonna happen for another five, six, seven years.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
But I can't even picture.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
But when that happens, it feels like freedom. It feels
like so like.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
I will know what to do.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
I want know to do Thatayla will go before and
Daisy will still be but it's.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
You'll just look around and be like, there's a TV here,
what is this?
Speaker 1 (05:41):
It's wild? And you add in the breastfeeding like that's
a full time job. It gets a lot, and the
pumping and everything.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
I just now the plane is to end then in June.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Right, Remember I said that with Leila, like one year
it's done, but then I went, I think I did
like fifteen months with Leila.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
We'll see. I don't.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Yeah, I say, I say one year, but then it
then then it's always it's a me thing, feeling sad
that it's over. And being a parent is such an
emotional mind f roller coaster.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
It's just crazy.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
And I am telling you this too. It's gonna it's
it's harder. It's emotionally harder and challenging because then you
start carrying their emotions on and it's just another thing.
But I feel like it gets better.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Yeah, no, I it's I I just I try to
explain it to my friends that don't have kids, and
I'm like, I can't, like, it's just it's the asylum
over there.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
It's really wild.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
