From Weekend Warrior to Dad Life - Miss the Sleep, Don't Miss the Hangovers

Used to be that guy who'd stay up till 3am on Saturday, sleep till noon Sunday, repeat. Now I'm up at 6am on weekends whether I like it or not because my 4 year old doesn't understand the concept of sleeping in. Honestly? I don't miss the hangovers at all. What I do miss is just being able to do nothing without feeling guilty. Like I could just sit and watch TV for 4 hours and it was fine. Now if I'm sitting down for more than 10 minutes my brain starts going through the mental checklist of what I should be doing. But seeing my kid's face light up when I'm actually present and playing with them hits different than any night out ever did.
