Dear Sleep,

COME BACK!!  I’M SORRY!!  Was it something I said?  I take it all back.  I take it back that I said after the baby was born that I won’t need that much of you.  I’m sorry I said that a lot of you is overrated and I could handle the baby and have less of you. I was wrong, VERY WRONG!  I NEED YOU…AND I WANT YOU BACK.

Remember the good times, before the baby?  I do.   We were together all the time.  I got to be with you at least eight hours in a row every night.  It seemed I could have you any time I wanted; in the car, on a plane, on the couch in the middle of the day, even in class during school.  No problem, all I had to do was put my head down on my desk, close my eyes and you were right there.   We had a beautiful relationship.  Something special.

Now it is all different.  Sleep, I feel you are pulling away from me and there is distance between us.  Since the baby was born, I only see you in short spurts every night for months on end.  Sleep, I have enough love to go around. There is enough for you AND the baby.  Can we work it out? How about we start slow.  Five hours in a row, together, you and me, each night.  If that goes well then maybe we can get together on the couch for an hour or so in the afternoon when the baby naps.  They say I am supposed to have you when the baby sleeps.  So far though you are no where to be found when the baby is napping.  The only thing I find is the dishes.  What do you think?  Can we reconnect?  I MISS YOU SLEEP!!!

Call me.

Love,

Meggan
