Bad Day!!

 

So I didn’t sleep much the other night (Thursday into Friday).  Probably not much at all.  Just in that one night of no sleep, I felt horrible on Friday.

When a person lacks sleep, he or she will crave sugary foods, searching for a way to get “high” to have stamina for the day.  So, I had a good breakfast, but from then on, I was grasping at straws for energy.  And we had a busy day. 

Isabella and Grace both had gymnastics in the morning.  Grace my little spitfire, she was all over the place and I worked up a sweat.  Right after gymnastics I had to run Bella to school, thankfully I picked up Rudy in the process and he drove and I got to nap a little.  Naps don’t help much unless I wear my CPAP machine, but then I take MONDO naps…way too long and I’m dead to the world.  (maybe bad choice of words…haha)

Rudy and I went out to lunch with Gracie and I picked salad bar and two mini burgers.  The burgers size was like a quarter of a real burger.  But I was satisfied.  After lunch we picked up a new movie for our kiddos and popcorn to have a movie night.  I allowed Rudy to pick the worst popcorn in the world to have, movie theater popcorn and I grabbed some kind of chocolatey cookie.  UGH Bad choices!  It’s hard to be strong when you don’t feel strong. 

The tiredness set in even more that afternoon.  I was cranky and irritable.  I cried to Rudy because I just can’t think straight without sleep, I just want to sit in the dark and not make any decisions.  I feel helpless.  It’s times like these my psychiatrist would want me on medication!  NOPE Dr. Lady, not this time.  I worked through it, I tried to catch another cat nap and on we went with the day.  

One bad day, does not mean I should throw away the week before and the rest of this week.  From here on out, I make better decisions.  Like the one I made last night to go to bed, put on my mask and sleep. 

 I got 6 hours…so here’s to today!  

Love Yous!
