Yes. <br /><br />I've been trying to do REAL relaxing more (a bath, a book, backgammon, sitting on the porch vs. reading things on the internet) plus going to bed already. The days I do this are so much better... yet the internet still calls, because it's so easy!

My husband has been telling me for 6+ months that I'm a better wife and mom when I'm well rested and I've taken care of myself (ie loving him doesn't necessarily mean being a martyr every day). Since then I've been taking naps with the baby and I'm a different person! Perhaps for Lent this year, the Lord really wants to spoil me?<br /><br />Thanks for sharing!Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14366280764092030717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8165594238100314829.post-51215766028688553012017-03-15T16:09:57.032-07:002017-03-15T16:09:57.032-07:00The struggle is real!

I've just been grumpy and snappy and can't seem to shake it off or snap out of it. I've been writing it off as "26 weeks pregnant, 4 kids 7 and under, husband works all.the.time..." blah blah blah, all valid, but not being honest with myself. I need to step away from the blogs/FB/kindle and SLEEP because otherwise, I'm a b. and a half and that's no fun for anyone, or saintly AT ALL.

Giving something up for Lent always seems so overwhelming as a mom of young children, but I can get on board with getting more sleep (if everyone else cooperates). It really is the answer to most things!Kirbyhttp://www.agladhome.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8165594238100314829.post-82674957955679750682017-03-14T17:14:14.213-07:002017-03-14T17:14:14.213-07:00Oh man.

Getting home at 8p and hustling to eat dinner and do anything that needs to be done at home means that I stay up too late far too often, just trying to squeeze in a face-mask or a show or reading... Sometimes to the detriment of getting prayer in, too. And I know - KNOW - that more sleep is basically the answer to all of it.brigidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05540829704914848803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8165594238100314829.post-54110533344610373702017-03-14T16:16:19.860-07:002017-03-14T16:16:19.860-07:00I once had a priest in the confessional tell me I ...I once had a priest in the confessional tell me I needed to go home and take a nap.
