For the first time since I got married and became a mom, I slept the night alone.
My husband’s work schedule is erratic. For months now, he works on a graveyard shift or popularly known to the call center world as GY shift. On regular days, my baby and I are left alone at night so we already established special bonding like playing computer games, telling stories, and praying together before going to bed. We only sleep as a family two nights a week.
Last night was specially difficult for me as my son pleaded that he sleep over at his grandma’s house where the rest of his cousins will stay for the night. I was adamant at my decision not to allow him and I even used emotional blackmail to him saying I will be left alone if he sleep over. In the end, he won. My husband helped in convincing me and since my son really wanted to go, I reluctantly gave in.
I never thought it would be too difficult sleeping alone. I wanted to call my husband and my baby in the middle of the night to tell them how lonely I was but I stopped myself thinking I’d disturb them. Thank goodness there’s Internet and plants vs zombies or PVZ, my current favorite computer game, I survived the night but slept barely. No wonder I look like a zombie in the morning needing the best anti wrinkle eye creams in the market to look alive and my age. I felt my eye bag was bigger than my small eyes.
Imagine, just a night without my son and I already feel like the world is crumbling down. What more if he’s hold enough to get married, I can’t bear that thought. Parents!
