Fatigue...

Life is definitely full of different seasons, and this one is--well, it's interesting and highly incompatible with a "normal life schedule" at times. Like today-- (Sunday). I worked last night from 7pm til this morning at 7am. After giving report on my babies, I drove home, walked into apartment around 7:45 as Andrew was walking out, took a shower, fell asleep on the bed for 15 minutes, and was at church to practice music at 9:30.

Disclaimer: I am in no way trying to complain about my life, only trying to share with some who don't know and might be curious.

After church, I came home and was in the bed by 12 noon. I slept soundly, without earplugs, in the middle of the day, until 6pm! Even then, Andrew had to force me to wake up! At least I can be grateful for the ability to sleep through just about anything. It never fails that 30 kids are screaming like crazy at our pool during my sleep time, and Andrew always is amazed at how I can sleep straight through it.

So, here I am...blogging to the world (somewhat awake) while Andrew tries to stay awake after a long day. Sundays are pretty big days for him, and if you don't know it already--we're prone to have "interesting" things come up on a Sunday that are flat out energy drainers. To top off just being busy on a Sunday, he still found time to go to Target for some medicine for me, grab this week's paper (for coupons), took the church trailer back, went to his parents' house and spent time with Molly and Ellie (our nieces), and came home to wake me up and heat up some leftovers for me. All I can say is...what a man!

Now, Andrew's made smoothies...we're going out to the pool to enjoy the last few minutes of daylight. Peace out!

  1. I know, firsthand, from growing up in a pastor's home that Sunday's ARE exhausting for pastors. :) Does Andrew take Monday off? That was my Dad's designated "day off" of the week. Hang in there with the nursing schedule!!
