We need sleep. But we moms also need alone time.
The baby cries, my feet hit the floor, and my very first thought is “Oh, man, I didn’t get enough sleep. Again.”This sucks, but I can’t complain. That’s par for the course these days, and most of it is my own dang fault. I have a few gray hairs; Ithan staying up past midnight, playing on Facebook, and binge-watching my favorite show. And yet, here we are.. Time to hop on the Struggle Bus, where visions of sleep will play through my head like elevator music for the next eight hours.

This will be the night that I close Facebook, close my eyes, and fix the last four years of sleep deprivation. I need my rest. My kids need me to be rested.when the opportunity presented itself, I’d take it.
