Hey! How are yo
Hi Sleep
Dear Night Time Sleep,
This feels awkward...it has been a while since we really got to spend some time together. I can tell that things have changed and I want to assure you that it’s me, not you.
In the past I have taken you for granted and have just expected you to be there when I am ready. I am not going to do that anymore, I have too much respect for you now, it is the classic “you don’t’ know what you have until it’s gone”
I know that I still get to see you every night for short stints at a time but I feel that something has come between us. I will just say it out loud...its Jack, but please do not get irritated with him. He is just getting to know you. Sometimes you can be a little bit dark and quiet for a baby... Jack loves Day Time Sleep with all of its’ light, and noise, they actually hang out all of the time; in the car, at home watching TV, vacuuming...I think I heard him yesterday saying something about “Day Time Sleep and BFF”.
Night Time Sleep, I think that with time you and Jack could really hit it off and that eventually we could all be really close. So, in the mean time, I will replace your goodness with copious amounts of under eye makeup, and that slightly queasy feeling.
Please recognize that this is just a break...not a break up. I am devoted to getting back to the way things were.
I love you Night Time Sleep and I think of you often,
mara
you are hilarious. i love your blogs! i definately was there and it is no fun! i know many people will tell you that it will pass but it is hard to hear when you are suffering through it. lots of hugs to you and you will get through it.
ReplyDeletei hope you rekindle with night time sooner then later.
Tams, you are so funny! Hang in there, it only gets better with time. In fact, night time sleep and myself are becoming very good friends once again after our nearly 2-year break (thanks to Remy) and it feels OH SO GOOD!
ReplyDeleteyou will meet again, i promise.
ReplyDeleteI also feel like night sleep has left me to have a sundry affair with someone far less deserving.
ReplyDeleteLove this letter, Mara! You have found your calling, I think:-) (writing that is) Hope you and Night Time Sleep are back in sync.
