Do all parents covet sleep like me or am I the only one? My bedtime is the most precious and valuable thing to me besides my family of course.
Last night, I chose to see a late movie making the burden of babysitting easier on my husband. At nightime, the two-year old is definitely asleep so my husband really only has to watch over the infant.
My biggest problem with this is the fact that the time I went was my PRIME sleeping time. My son still wakes up once in the night and it’s between 1-5am. He’s usually up for the day from 5-6am on. What I’m trying to say is that my sleep from 1am on is interupted and very short.
Will I ever be able to go to the movies again without a babysitter? Sometimes I just want to be myself, not a mother or wife but me and go to a movie. With the price of lost sleep to venture out it seems hardly worth the big hassle and effort.
I need to remember that these years with my children are short and more important than trivial things like movies or SLEEP. I wonder why we were designed to sleep at all.
