Parker Week 29 – Sleep Please??
July 21, 2009
Parker & "Uncle Peegee"
Dear Squeaky,
Somehow you have developed into a little person who can survive on 20 minute naps. I know others have tried this method and found it successful. Your father and I are not those people. We function much, much better with 8 or more hours of sleep – straight. We can still function pretty well on 5, and if we have to, on 4. However, the 3 hours you’ve been allotting us for the past 3 days is not really helpful. You see, my bosses don’t find it cute or endearing when I fall asleep in meetings. I’ve walked into more doorways than I can count because I’m too tired to pay attention to where I am going. I put bread in the microwave and rice in the bread drawer. I’ve walked into every room of our house looking for a pair of socks I had been carrying at one point (still no clue where I left them…). For a period of time yesterday I couldn’t remember how to spell the word “reciprocate”. I love the fact that you’re sleeping two or more hours at a time during the day, but I’m not around to take advantage of that time. Unless you want us to sell you to some band of Gypsies (since they are known for staying up all night dancing and partying anyway), then I think it would be an excellent idea if you tried sleeping for longer stretches of time.
Love,
Mommy (who is on the verge of sleep deprivation psychosis)
I will most likely be admitted right behind you…they must be “planning” this all day long while we are at work:)
