Go To Sleep, Little Creep

Posted by on Mar 11, 2008 in Motherhood | 3 comments

I have rewritten the words to the popular Brahm’s Lullaby (Cradle Song, Wiegenlied) to fit my specific experience tonight.  Here goes:

Go to sleep,

little creep.

Go to sleep now my baby.

I’m so tired -

you seem wired -

from another day of play.

My brain is fried

and I’ve tried

all the tricks in my baggie.

It’s one a.m. -

we’re here again.

No wonder Mommy’s gone so gray.

Just hum the tune and try to make the words work.  It’s a close enough fit, given the current state of my brain!  Arrrrrgh.

    *snarf*… now, you just need to have that translated into French, which will make it sound oh, so, legit.

    Oui oui mon amie! :) sn

    You are so dedicated! When the twins were about 5 months and still not sleeping thru the night, I finally just shut their door, turned off the monitor and let them scream it out! I’m sure it was MY lack of sleep that eventually lead to this.

    So far my lack of sleep has just led to a lot of tears. But no more! I need to try to be more positive about this! I worked the grave shift at hotels for three years…I can certainly do THIS! (and the pay-offs are so much bigger!) ;) sn
