Musings of a Mommy

Dear Sleep,

Hey, how’s it hangin? I haven’t seen much of you lately. I miss you.

Remember how tight we were in high school and college? Gosh, those were the days. We would hang out for hours at a time – uninterrupted hours! Hey, thanks for helping me with all those hangovers, too. I mean, we had our outs. Remember the Great Insomnia of sophomore year in college? That was bad. But, we had some counseling (read – sleeping pills) and it all worked out. We made it through those tough times.

When I got into the real world and had to get up at 6, I sacrificed some of our together time, I admit it. I put you on the back burner so I could watch “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” but every weekend we would start anew and catch up, just like old times. And it was wonderful. You were a love of my life.

Once Lexie arrived, we parted ways briefly. I went through some tough times to get you back. Our relationship struggled and outside forces (ahem…LEXIE) tried to come between us but I wouldn’t let it happen. No sir. I loved you too much.

You were my constant during my pregnancy with Audrey. You hung around a lot, especially every afternoon from 3 to 4 pm. We spent lots of time together because we both knew our time was coming to an end.

And now it has. Like I said, I miss you. I dream about you, as I sleepwalk through my day. But don’t worry, our lovefest isn’t over yet. I promise we will be back together.

I’ll just turn Audrey over to Daddy, too.

‘Til then my love,

April
