Did You Get Some Sleep?

I had a good weekend with the family. We ate out by the bay, scoured a secondhand bookstore for our fave reads, and watched a fireworks display. Traffic was bad on our way to the bay area, but I must say it was worth it. Nothing beats a good view and some fresh ocean breeze. I also had a restful term break which lasted for 8 days. We did chores all right and some mall trips. But overall I managed to get some sleep. The month of October was a challenging one as everyone in the family got sick, one in fact got very sick and had to stay in the hospital for 7 days. Needless to say, the mother (that's me) is often the one who gets up in the middle of the night to check on everyone. I really just needed to catch up on sleep. And oh boy did I sleep lot during the break!! I was like a tub of lard. Did you get some sleep over the weekend? Image: Pixabay

Don't we dream of having nights of restful sleep? I used to be a night owl but since i got married and became a mom, i had to reverse the schedule and be a morning person.

@almostoveryou I'd be a night owl even as a mom. Like some moms are. My mom hardly ever slept cause her body just wouldnt let her go to bed early

@Courtlynn I wish I could pull off something like that too. Maybe when my kids are grown. For now, I have to get up at 4 in the morning to prepare them for school.

sorry to hear that your family was sick, being a mom is not an easy task and we all know that deep in our hearts.

Thanks. A mother's work is never done. We do it all for love. (But I still want a good night's sleep all the time.)

Yes, I got 5-6 hours of sleep during the weekend. I felt very fresh when I woke up. Proper sleep is very important for everyone. If a person does not get proper sleep, his brain will not function properly. I make sure I get proper sleep. I go to bed at10 pm and wake up at 7 am.

Good to know you get enough sleep. I try to get some too as long as circumstances permit.
