Dear Sleep Fairy,

I’m sorry. I am so very sorry for whatever it was that I did to you to make you torture me this way. I will never, ever do it again. I ask of you please, please, oh please will you make my babies good sleepers again. Especially Shenzie. She is having a really tough time which makes me have a really tough time. I’m sure you understand with twins I have a hard enough time everyday without you adding to the mix. I would think that a growing baby/toddler needs more than 6 hours of sleep a night. I know that when I wake up at 2am and do not go back to sleep until 10:30am that I am VERY tired so I’m sure she is too. The loss of sleep is making her rather crabby….and by crabby I mean full blown crazy. The days are long and I really dread the nights. I used to LOVE going to bed. Crawling into the cold sheets and getting warm and cozy. Now I dread going to bed because I know my precious sleep is going to be brutally ripped from me. Oh, and the nightmares I’m having of screaming, waking babies that wake me up from a dead sleep. Not good. You see Sleep Fairy, this is a very bad position you’ve put me in and I don’t like it one bit. I hate to resort to violence, but if you don’t do something about this soon you better be prepared for the consequences. Bring your brass knuckles, because you are going to need them. Oh, and if you see the Tooth Fairy tell her I’m looking for her and I won’t stop until I find her. She may need something more than brass knuckles, because I have a SERIOUS bone to pick with her.

Thank You, Sincerely, Graciously, Beggingly,

Tired Mama and Crazy Baby
