The Sleepy Mominator

Tagged Under : ,

The kids fell asleep a while ago.  I was sooooo tired before they actually fell asleep.  As soon as they fell asleep I got my 4th wind of the day.  It’s been a little harder than usual for me to get back into the routine this week after they went back to school.  They completely spoiled me for 2 weeks without even knowing it.  With the exception of maybe 2 days they slept in everyday until about 9ish.  A mom getting to sleep until about 9ish is the equivalent of a person without kids sleeping until noon. (just in case you didn’t know)

What I think is so weird about that is we don’t get up all that early.  I have to wake up around 7:45 in order to do my prayer time and walk the dog before I get them up and going.  It seems that extra hour and fifteen minutes was something that I was just so used to not getting that at a certain point my body didn’t care.  All week I’ve been working late because of trying to get Kind.tv done.  A couple nights my brain just wouldn’t shut off so all week I’ve been up even later than normal.

Why am I sharing this? Not to whine.  I don’t whine.  Never.  Not me. <shakes her head, trying to be convincing>  I’m sharing to comiserate with the other tired moms that did a happy little jig this week when their kids got on the bus in the morning at the beginning of the week.  I did do a jig.  There are witnesses I believe.  A few of those witnesses joined me in my dance of joy.

I better pop a Tylenol PM or something so I can do some catching up on the zzzzz’s.  I am no coffee drinker but, I will need an I.V. of caffeine hooked up to me soon at this rate. 

Good night then!
