This time it was my fault.
Last night I watched a movie that filled me with energy so afterwards, I decided to get some work done. I couldn’t get to sleep until past midnight. I was thinking: “Well she’s been sleeping through the night now and then, I’ll probably get at least six hours.” Nope.
She was up every two. Now it’s morning and I’m paying for it. My eyes are burny and as my husband sweetly reminded me, I should really try to sleep when she’s sleeping. “I KNOW!!!!!”
But when the choice is between sleep and actually getting something done, it’s just so tempting to get something done. Am I right!
I also made another terrible mistake last night. When I did get up to feed my girl, I let my mind wake up too. Bad idea. Generally I keep the lights very low and my eyes shut so that I can, at the very least, meditate and sometimes (though rarely) drift into a light snooze. Nope.
I let my mind race to grocery lists, house chores and work I need to get done this week.
So today….I’m going to be good to myself and if I can’t sleep while Nadia’s sleeping, I’ll at least lay down to read. I will not let my mind troll through to-do lists. I will relax. Breathe. And just maybe, fall asleep.
