Good morning world. I am still having a hard time getting up in the morning since the kids have for a while rode the bus in the mornings. I get up before them, get them up, they make their beds, get dressed, do their chores, and are off to walk the quarter of a mile up our dirt road to the bus stop.
I like getting up at least 30 to 40 minutes before the kids. My routine during that time is to get up, dress, get water heating for tea, read a devotion, scriptures, check email, post on facebook, enjoy the quiet. That is getting up around 6 or 6:15. During that time I was taking the kids to school.
I really miss my quiet time. My sleep routine is completely off. Yesterday I was so tired after church, I fell asleep on the couch. I slept for several hours. Not good. So when it was time to go to bed, I was NOT tired or sleepy. Went to bed last night about 1am. Not a good thing. Did I want to get up this morning? NO! However, I did after hitting the snooze button on the alarm several times.
So what do I do? My attitude has not been the best. I have not been spending time with the Lord as I had before. There is a little over a week left until school is out for the kids. I feel I need to get this figured out and get to bed at a decent time so my routines can go back to normal before the they get out of school.
Here is what I have decided to do today. After I get the kids to bed, I am going to take a shower. Drink a cup of relaxing chamomile tea. Find a book to read. And get to bed by 10pm. At times that is difficult to do as I have one son who works Monday nights. I usually stay awake until he gets home. Tonight, I will at least know where he is after work. Oh and the book is to read in bed for at least 15 minutes.
Hopefully this will help! I will let you know tomorrow!
Be blessed and be a blessing,
Just some of my thoughts and actions,
Elizabeth
