What A long Day!

Beckley, West Virginia
February 8, 2024 7:18pm CST
I have been up since 4:30 a.m. this morning and it has just seemed like this was the longest day. I have been busy all day usually when I am busy like today it goes by fast but it sure didn't seem it today. I have washed and dried clothes, I cleaned the house, went and got my mom's car( where hubby could change the oil in it for her), and helped my daughter with her assignments that she was having a hard time with ( we homeschool). I have cooked dinner and cleaned the kitchen back up and now I'm Mylotting yet it is only a little after 8p.m.. I know if I lay down now I will fall asleep and tomorrow will be a repeat of today. I am trying to stay awake just a little while longer.

@Happy2BeMe Thank you. I hope so too. I wonder if it's going to be one of those nights where I toss and turn because I am so tired. I hope not. Those nights are horrible and I have a lot of those. lol. Anyway, I hope you have a good night as well.

@MelissaAnn1979 I have a lot of those nights too and yes it does seem to happen when you are overtired. It is like you body has a hard time to wind down at the end of a busy day.

@Happy2BeMe Yes, that is exactly it. My hubby says when I finally do fall asleep on those nights I am continuously moving in my sleep like I'm still on the go.

I know that it's too early to go to sleep at 8 p.m., but you get up so early and you need to rest.

@LadyDuck Yes, that was way too early to go to bed and I was trying to fight it. I made it until a little after 9 p.m. I got up so early yesterday because I woke up and just could not go back to sleep.

@LadyDuck I usually get up between 5:30 and 7:00 and go to bed anywhere from 10:30 to 12 but that just didn't happen yesterday.

@RebeccasFarm lol. I don't like them when they are long as this one was. I tried to go back to sleep that morning and just couldn't do it.

You’ve had busy and fulfilling day? Is it your daughter’s first year of homeschooling? God bless you both in this adventuresome undertaking.

@MelissaAnn1979 I am so excited to hear about your homeschool. Your daughter's honouring of you is so inspiring.

@everwonderwhy No, I took her out of public school when she was in the 8th grade. She is in 12th grade now, but it has been an adventure for her and I. I do not regret a second of it. She tells me all the time she learns so much more at home.

You did have a busy day. My morning was busy. I did laundry, cleaned the church, stopped by the store to get some buy one get one free items they had, got some gas in the car and came home. I did get a little nap in. It felt good to get a little bit of rest. Hope you have a good nights rest.

@Dena91 It sounds like you had a busy morning. I'm glad you got a little nap in, sometimes that can be so refreshing. After I finally fell asleep, I actually slept better than I thought I would considering how tired I was.

You did have a busy day, didn't you? I hope you had a good day and achieved everything you wanted to achieve. I need to do a little bit more sorting again this afternoon.
