Even whirring printers and ringing phones are like a lullaby when your child sounds reveille at 3 am, but next time I’ll remain tacit when asked, “How are you?” My single coworkers roll their eyes and tune out my sleepy refrain: “I’m tired.”
It was great to have almost two weeks off and be able to sleep in. And then, the last day before going back to work, my son was an early riser again. Ugh.
I sing that one regularly…
