It is really hard for me to just go to bed. After the kids are asleep and I get into bed it is around 10ish. But I don't go to sleep then. I read, shop, make lists, basically waste valuable sleeping time on my phone. It's like my mind is so crowded during the day with kids and chores and whatever that when it is finally quite it actually can think of stuff. Or just watch mindless videos of people falling down. So tonight I actually did not even look at my phone after I got into bed. I had a headache(which is going on day three) so I just tried to close my eyes and fall asleep and it worked! Only to be woken up an hour later to a crying 4 year old who has just thrown up in her bed. After cleaning up and changing sheets she sweetly asked me in her little croaky voice if she could have a tiny cup of apple juice. She was asleep by the time I got back. And now I'm awake. On my phone. And after I fall asleep the littlest will wake up soon after to nurse. Even though I am running on fumes most of the time and might smell like puke, I am pretty blessed to have these (most of the time ) sweet kids to take of. Now I just need to remember that in their not-so-sweet moments.
