The house quiet
The kids and Mark asleep
Although no one really seems to understand it, I need the time.
I know it makes my mornings harder, and I probably should go to bed earlier,
but my mind doesn't turn off until I've had some me time.
Is there anyone else out there like this?
Restless sleep, yet totally exhausted.
Maybe I need to exercise, I've heard that helps with sleep.
And fat.
And depression.
Yes. Exercise. That's the answer.
Now to Do it.
I let you know if I do.
I totally understand. I need that alone time too. Exercising always makes me more alert though, so I never do it at night (that's my great excuse :0)
ReplyDelete=) I feel the same way. Now that Josh is gone at night, I stay up way to late because it is the only time I'm alone. As for the exercising, I just dragged the elliptical out of the garage and into the house. Syd keeps telling me just to get on and do it - so far I haven't listened.
ReplyDeleteI am right there with you lady! I need some "me" time after a day full of Mathew's "Mommy, wook at me. Mommy, WOOK at me" and Auna's "Poop butt mommy" and "Don't hit" as she whacks Mathew yet again, and Jordan's constant nursing. It's all very draining. There is something peaceful about the stillness of your home while your family sleeps, and you finally have time to do something... or nothing. It's the perfect finish to a long day. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Katie! I found your blog off of facebook and am enjoying catching up on your life a little. Your kids are so precious! Aren't children so amazing?
