I’ve been really tired lately. I haven’t gotten enough rest\/sleep and this morning I slept way over … finally, so don’t feel quite as bad as I usually do by this time of day.<\/p>\n
We had a crazy 4th of July, setting off fireworks, running around like crazy, it was fun and exhausting. I guess I feel like I hadn’t “caught up” with rest since then. So it was nice sleeping, but something woke me sometime after 4am, it was my hubby’s alarm clock, but he wasn’t there.<\/p>\n
He left on a bus. trip yesterday, & what went off was not his usual, not an alarm, but a loud hissing of a radio not tuned to a station but volume turned way up. Ugh. I struggled to get it off, then laid down again, only to have a beep, beep, beep sometime later (probably snoozed the alarm) and I couldn’t think of what to do except to pull the plug. So I did. Ahhh, relief.<\/p>\n
So I went back to bed and slept until my newly 3 year old started telling me to get up, so I was able to respond but go right back to sleep. I told him to get his brother or sister, and his sister said right away she was awake and got up and I zonked out right away again, woke up only when my Palm Pre started to ring. It was 9-something-am. I didn’t answer the phone. But did call him back a few minutes later. It wasn’t very nice. I didn’t feel like talking about anything he said, so he hung up. Oh well.<\/p>\n
I’m going to make Pizza for dinner, that needs a lot of energy on my part. I make the whole thing, my own dough, shred the cheese, make the sauce, cook the sausage, put it all together. It usually totals me. So I need to start now, I guess, and get it done with so I can go to bed and hopefully be even more rested tomorrow than I was today. I don’t have anything big to attend too until mid-Aug. So that is good. Hopefully I will be in good shaped for that. (I’m an introvert who stays home with children, no “work” outside, no responsibilities outside of home, so I’m not has “hardened” as I once was. Nor as young as I once was. \ud83d\ude42 )<\/p>\n
One thing about all this, I was a night owl all my life, until I had my 4th baby right before I turned 41. Since then I sleep at night usually. I get so run down thoughout the day and can’t wait to get to bed and go to sleep. I didn’t ever have the ability to just “go to sleep” until then. I sleep all night, unless someone or something bothers me. Sometimes I get woken up in the middle of the night and I read for a bit or watch something on TV, but I usually then fall asleep fairly easily again. My old life was one of sleep deprivation that I lived with just fine. I couldn’t sleep much without waking up. If I went to bed before Midnight that was too early. Bed before 2am wasn’t often. Even going to bed I’d awake a couple of hours later and be wide awake for 2 or 3 or 4 hours. Often I couldn’t fall asleep until that sun started to come up. I slept hard and fast then, sleeping for a few or two hours like that is what I went on until Midnight again.<\/p>\n
So it’s weird still, after 3 years now of sleeping better, I’m still far more tired and still not a “morning person” so I have less time for me than ever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
