It would have been weird for my friend if she had been woken
at 1 pm by me screaming and crying hysterically. I wonder if she would have
known to come in and hug me and put my pacifier in. Or, maybe I would have
needed some Tylenol or Baby Orajel for those darn top teeth trying to poke
through. Then, at around 4:30, I would demand her back to give me a bottle and
change my diaper. Let me take that back. I did NOT sleep like a baby.
I guess what I slept like was a person who hasn’t slept
through the night in over a year and desperately needed to catch up. Today is my
first full day back and I am feeling refreshed, my kids are sweeter and
funnier, and the whining doesn’t get on my nerves as bad.
The realization is that taking a break for you is not just
for you. This may be short-lived, but for now I feel like a happier and better
mom.
