I didn't get much sleep Saturday night. So, I took a nap Sunday afternoon. Of course, that just meant that I wasn't sleepy Sunday night. normally that starts a vicious cycle that is painful to break. But, I decided to change things up a little.
What did I do? I usually go grocery shopping on Monday afternoons. We don't do school on Monday, so it turns into a nice day to run errands. But, last night, I went grocery shopping.
Everything was fine until everyone was in bed and I realized I still wasn't sleepy. I did some research on blogs and then I did the one thing that keeps me awake no matter what time it is. The only time I have time to do it is after everyone's asleep. I don't know if it is the creative process my brain goes into or what but once I start I have a lot of trouble going to sleep.
What was it? I had a song in my had about Gideon (the subject for my preschool Bible class — see blog in right hand column). I had to put it down on paper. I got it done, but I didn't go to bed until 2:30. Then, to make matters worse both the little buys woke up at 5:30, crying. I don't know what got into them. I got up, took them to the living room, turned on a video and went to sleep on the couch. I then slept until 10:30.
Now I know most of y'all are shrieking, “How could she sleep that late”. Well, I did, and I didn't feel a bit guilty. I felt very rested when I woke up.
Needless to say, with the grocery shopping done and getting to sleep as long as I wanted, it has really been a nice relaxing day. I've gotten almost caught up with my washing, cooked supper and started 2 more suppers. It's 9:00 and I think I might get in bed by 10:30.
Tomorrow we should get off to a good start with school.
