“TurtleHead” is a phrase that, as far as I know, was invented by my mother. Whenever one of her kids slept too late or too long, and woke up with that disoriented, dry-mouth, headache-y feeling, she’d tell them they had “turtlehead.”

It’s been a really, really long time since I had turtlehead. Having a baby will do that to you. But I did get seven consecutive hours of sleep last night, the most I’ve had since Captain Jelly Belly was born over a year ago. Turtlehead can’t be very far away!
