Wishful Thinking

I wish he would tell me this, “Dear, tomorrow you can sleep in. I will get the children ready for school and send them to school.” Of course on the day that he does not have to work full day so that he can come home after that to continue his sleep.

But like my title says, it is wishful thinking. It will never happen unless I am really, really sick. It is because he requires 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep if possible. Unlike me, I can sleep for 1 hour then wake up for 2 hours then continue sleeping for another 3 hours before getting up to start my day. And if my baby wants to latch, I might doze off for another hour. On some days I can catch an hour nap with baby. So I do get my 4-6 hours sleep every day.

I would love to have 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep but being a wife and a mother, this is one of the sacrifices that we have to make.
