Gifts

I was in bed for 10 hours last night. Ten hours. From about eleven-thirty to around nine-thirty. How is it that I am still so tired? I didn’t mention that not all of that ten hours was sleep time – much of it was spent nursing a baby, burping a baby, rocking a baby, nursing a baby, holding a baby, burping a baby; you get the picture.
I really miss my sleep and it’s much harder to make it through each day when I’m sleep deprived – but I really don’t mind taking care of my baby at night. I enjoy my children. They are precious gifts that I cherish every day. I would not trade even a day with my children for a lifetime of peaceful nights.
