I'm at 6:00 a.m. usually, and up til midnight most every night.
I'm tired.
Running here, running there.
I'm tired.
Karate and football, birthdays and garage sales, fellowships and church.
I'm tired.
Fun and excitement. Work and play.
I'm tired.
Adventures and commitments.
I'm tired.
A mom's work is just never done.
I'm tired.
And some day, I'm going to miss every last little hectic minute of it all!
So for now, I'll PRAISE GOD for my youth (or what's left of it), my strength, my health, my kids, and the joy it all brings me! And I'll just accept that for now, at this stage in my life, I'm gonna be tired!
Besides, sleep's overrated anyway.
These bags under my eyes are like new fashion accessories!
And that my friend is why God gave us coffee! LOL

I am not sure you will miss it when the kids are grown. All but one of my kids are grown now and I do not miss the craziness. It is a new season and we are quite enjoying being parents of young adults, a teenager, and a grandbaby. Of course, we are still tired....life has not slowed any. I am thinking that maybe it does not slow down this side of heaven! Some days I am ready to dance a jig in my new body!
ReplyDeleteBlessings from another tired, old, mom!
and this is why God made you the way he did...able to withstand it AND have a sense of humor!
ReplyDeleteI feel you big time. Sleep is SOOO over rated!!! I can tell you are tired! You posted at Scottsville and Here...Do we need a sleep intervention??? LOL
ReplyDeleteI totally understand!!! Here's to hoping you get some rest soon!
ReplyDeleteYes...tired and mom go in the same sentence!! Somehow we go on the energy that our kids radiate out from their youth.
ReplyDeleteBesides my purse, those are the only extra bags I have! I wish on some many occasions to trade them in or garage sale them.
ReplyDeleteBeen up since 3am and still holding strong on my 3rd cup of coffee.

Lol...I think we can all relate!! And I really DON'T think sleep is overrated...Emmie just started sleeping through the night(at 15 months!) and I'm enjoying it thoroughly!! I'm still tired though, all the time.

I know I will miss it since I need to be in control!!! It will be interesting when they can do things on their own, I will feel so lost! And you are right...sleep is over rated! Here's to a relaxing week!
ReplyDeleteI love how sleep gets me recharged again for another day! God is so good! I've even been getting my 8 hours in lately since I'm on short-term disability from work! Yea!
ReplyDeleteSee my post about how important sleep is:

New luggage and for free. Gotta love that:) I hear ya. Up like 4 times last night with the kids not being able to sleep. I am tired too.
ReplyDeleteOne things for sure! Your time has been very well spent. Hope you get some rest soon.
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Hope you can get a few winks here and there.
ReplyDeleteYou're probably like me, you feel as if you ever slow down, you won't be able to get back up again.
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel Erica, but look at me. I'm about 15 years or so older than you and still trying to raise teenagers. I think I'm beyond tired. I'm pretty much comatose! lol
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, ain't life grand! Hopefully we will hold up well enough before our parts expire!
