A note from a functioning sleep deprived mama.
You probably don't recognize me, but I'm you at 30. I know you love to sleep, but 30 year old you doesn't really do that much anymore. I know, it sounds ludicrous, but I promise there's a good reason. You see, you are actually responsible for two little beings now. What? You don't know what responsible means? Oh yeah. Well it means when you've been asleep for two hours and you hear a strange cry or pitter patter feet walking around, you actually have to wake up and fix whatever is wrong. And then afterward you fall asleep sitting on the toilet. Crazy, right? And instead of 9pm being the time when you are getting ready to go out, you are taking a warm shower and getting ready for bed to store up a little energy for the 5:30 am start time the next day. Yes, you heard me correctly.
I know you can't relate to me right now, but let me explain why we're doing this. You see, these two little beings are the most wonderful part of your life right now and will be for years to come. The more time and love you pour into them, the more your heart grows. Normal sleep patterns will eventually return, but these crazy times only happen once. So, 20 year old self, rest up and get ready for the best time of your life in ten years.
Oh, and that crazy guy named Serg you are starting to like, go with that :)
Love it! It's so funny that we were at the same place 10 years ago, but didn't know each other yet. So funny! I think back fondly to sleeping in on Saturdays in college... ah, memories... But I agree, it is worth it!
