Someday I Will Sleep Enough
I am so tired. My sleep is constantly interrupted, like between four and six times a night. Sometimes it's Lucas, mostly it's Asher waking me. Sometimes one of the boys wakes up at 5 a.m. and doesn't go back to sleep. I haven't slept more than 2 or 3 hours straight since May of 2006. It's not the same as choosing to go without for a night for a fun reason, like debauchery, rock music, or even all-night sophmoric discussions. It's a constant debt and it affects my mental health.
Ian tries to help me. On the weekends he gets up early with the kids and sometimes I can sleep till 8 or 8:30 a.m. Rarely until 9. He is a prince for doing this. But I'm still deeply deprived (of this one resource).
Someday, I will sleep through the night again. Someday, I will sleep through the night again. Someday, I will sleep through the night again. Maybe if I say it enough, I'll be restored.

maybe I'm finally getting sick ...
