More Sleep for Mommy!

A mommy friend on Facebook recently asked, “Is anyone else tired of being tired?” A lot of people agreed with her.  I think that her comment resonated with so many people because mothers struggle to find time of their own.

Granted, she has two children and her demands are more onerous than mine. Still, I understood her sentiment. This week I am committed to getting more rest. If you read my posts last week you know that I have been sleep deprived for the entire time I have been a mom (over 17 months).  This week though, I am committed to getting more.

I’m not going to set unattainable goals that leave me feeling like a failure when they are unachieved.  Instead, I have achievable goals. I’ve been averaging 6 hours a night most weeks. This week I am committed to averaging 6 hours and 20 minutes.  That might seem lame to you, but it seems like heaven to me. 

Off to sleep now. Sweet dreams!!!
