Now my kids are grown, and I have two grandchildren (2 and 4). I sometimes keep them on weekends, and I wonder how I ever managed when mine were little. I guess it's easier when you're younger, but it's still soooooo hard! I never got enough sleep, and I'm still like that. Once you've gone for years with not alot of sleep, your sleep patterns tend to get messed up. I've also had a chronic illness for the last 30or so years, so that didn't help.
It sounds like you need some "Tammy time". Soak in a nice bath with your favorite bubble bath and relax for awhile. It does help!! I know, you're probably saying "when???" lol |
Thank you for your sweet words! I know you're right, I do need some "Tammy time" but I find myself drawn back to being with my children. I want to be with them, but then again, I want a break.....doesn't make a lot of sense, does it? I do believe in what you said and I know that I need to find something just for me!
