OH SH*T Im So Tired (for all new mom) The small hand on the clock points to the five. The cities and the suburbs are quiet. But me? Ive been up for more than an hour. Oh, isnt being a new mom a riot? At four a.m. my newborn got hungry. I had to feed him to silence his fit. Now he snores with breast milk dotting his lips. And Im so tired I can hardly stand it. Yes, Im tired, exhausted and bitter. Cant you tell Im at the end of my wits? My poor brain is fried and my body hurts. Sleep deprivation is truly the pits. Everybody says to sleep when he sleeps. Folks who say it think that they are brilliant. But I need to eat, to bathe, and to pee. Sleeping is hard to do with an infant. Six uninterrupted hours would be great. But Id take four if my babe would permit. Because when youre a newborns open bar, When you rest, you only rest for a bit. Every time I sit down to eat dinner, Or try crossing laundry off of my list, Whenever I hope to call back a friend, My son will cry and those cries are legit. Wait! Ill lie down and close my eyes right now, Even if it is just for a minute. Ill do what they say: Ill sleep when he sleeps! Oh, never mind. He is awake now.
