Sleepy Mama

I’m a new mom. I don’t have time to sit down and focus on my creative pursuits.

I used to enjoy playing music to myself alone at night.

And then I would sit for hours editing audio and creating videos. But sitting for hours doing anything seems impossible these days.

There’s laundry to be done, crying babies to sooth.

But I just learned a magic trick.

My baby stays asleep when I sing.

And I genuinely enjoy singing. A lot.

So much in fact, that I suspect that’s why I love spending all day with kids.

If I am a stay-at-home mom, life becomes a musical.

I am the soundtrack.

Motown songs during playtime.

Lullabies and symphonies at naptime and night.

At night I can sing.
I can truly sing from my heart.

I know what I need.

And I need what I need.

And I do need sleep.

But I’ve always had more than enough.

Yes I said it.

Enough sleep?

Yes. Enough sleep.

We’ve all been asleep.

Wake up your babies! It’s time to be free.

Stop sleeping so much!
