I think Cosmopolitan Magazine had an article years ago on Sleep-Bulemia. It described women who didn't get enough sleep so they drank mass amounts of caffeine throughout the day and than can't sleep at night (some would take pills). That describes I think a lot of women these days.
Today I realized I was that women as well! The revelation happened today in two parts. One I was driving and totally missed my exit and was heading towards Deming. When I finally got to my destination I was walking with my ToGo cup from a local restaurant and a stranger commented "you look like you have had one too many". That was my WOW today! I'm the walking dead (and I look like it)!
I've got kids, husband, work, etc. keeping me up late (and stressing me) so during the day I'm a Zombie. I'm just grabbing sodas all day long. One of my friends and I were joking. She tells me I just need to pick up coffee so I wake up enough to hide my exhaustion. It is pretty serious. I wonder if I would have hit that car door a few weeks ago if I had been sharper. Honestly, I just need to change up my routine and take more time for myself.

Caffeine Mommy. That's me, too! And to make you feel better... I backed my brand new van into my friend's car 3 weeks after I got it. I even saw the dang car in the back-up camera and hit it anyway. I need to be sharper, too!
ReplyDeleteYou poor dear. You need an escape. A day of sleep, uninterrupted. You just need a break. I wish I could give it to you. Hang in there. Your day will come.
ReplyDeleteI feel you. L wakes at least once/night and B wakes about 3x/night. DH takes L back to bed but I am still exhausted. Luckily they are so cute during the day I can't stay mad at them :)
