#62/365--Sleep

You spend the first few years
...of their lives...
wishing
hoping
praying
...that they will sleep in...
and
in those first few years
...they are up...
...at the crack of dawn...
...or before...

and
as a young parent
...you hit the ground running...
and
you are
tired
worn out
listless
running on empty

but
over the course of time
your body-clock
gets used to the
...early hours...
and
you just naturally
...start waking up at the crack of dawn...
right as they
...start to sleep in...
and
...you begin...
wishing
hoping
praying
...they will get up...
and spend time with you

...especially on...
unexpected
"snow days"
