The joys of being tired!!


I threw this picture in because it was one that made my week!! Rowynn's first time using her new gum toothbrush.

You're thinking right now, "did i just read that right?" The joys of being tired?? What is this lady talking about? Well after a couple of long days and a very busy week ahead of me I'm sitting in front of the computer feeling completely and utterly exhausted!!!

The fall cleaning, the evening strolls through the neighborhood, the little one still figuring out her sleep schedule and the preperation for dance to start up again soon and those christmas projects I just dream about doing haven't even been touched, they're staring at me from the corner of my craft room and I try so hard to get the energy to go pick one up and get started on it, but my body is screaming no!!! Just go to bed!!!

Then I find myself laying in bed and thinking about all the wonderful things I saw that day and the moments I got on the floor and played with Rowynn or that 4am wake up feed that morning and that mommy and Rowynn time we had. Then I think about when I tried to lay my head down that day to take a nap and the phone rang or there was a knock on the door or the mountain of laundry I hear from the other room calling my name comes upon me and I think will I ever catch a break?!

So I lay there and think here we go again, I'm going to close my eyes for what seems like two seconds and we're going to start it all over again and I think to myself, Thank you God for another day another evening with the family, another walk with a friend, another kiss from the husband and another moment of snuggle time with Rowynn and I thank you Jesus for another sleepy night for I know that it was a great day when I can lay my head on a pillow and feel completely and utterly exhausted, for I know I'm living life to the fullest!
