If you ask your mom to lie down with you, she’s going to fall asleep…
She will wake up in a panic and head downstairs to clean up the kitchen…
When she is cleaning the kitchen, she will notice that someone left a cup in the living room.
When she goes to get the cup out of the living room, she will notice that the TV was left on.
When she goes over to turn off the TV, she will see that it is HGTV and they are playing her favorite show.
She will sit to watch her favorite show.
When she sits to watch her favorite show, she will remember that her husband just bought ice cream.
She will go to get her favorite ice cream and see the messy kitchen.
She will start cleaning the kitchen again and hear the washer beep.
She will go upstairs to get the laundry out of the washer and she will hear a voice.
When she turns to find the voice, she sees a 3 year old standing at her door.
She will go back to tuck the three year old in and she will hear “Will you sleep in my bed?”
She will lie down in bed and fall asleep, again.
When she wakes up ten minutes later, she will go to her room.
In her room, she will pick up the shoes and toys that were left in there.
She will put them into the closet, passing the bathroom along the way.
When she sees the bathtub, she will realize that she meant to clean it today.
Once it is clean, she decides she should enjoy a clean tub.
When the tub is clean, she puts on her favorite pajamas and turns on the show that she taped from before.
She will want to lay down, in bed, to watch her show.
When she gets into her BED, she thinks about all of the things that she forgot to do.
Thinking of the things that she forgot to do will remind her that she has an ongoing list on her dresser.
She gets out of her bed and finds the list.
Seeing the list reminds her that she wanted to leave little notes on the kid’s floors that say “GOOD MORNING!” so they will wake up and find them in the morning.
She writes their notes and takes them to their rooms.
Seeing them sound asleep reminds her that she is exhausted.
She goes to her room, gets into her bed and falls asleep for a few hours.
Then she hears someone call for her, because if you ask your mom to lie down with you, she’s going to fall asleep…♥
Ps- here is our bed (that we think is the absolute best bed anyone could ever own! Seriously!)
I really need a good night’s sleep so that I will have enough energy to run after my kinds and not be a grouch!
I have the blessed talent to be able to fall asleep really quickly but sometimes there are those awful nights when I can’t sleep. My coping mechanism is cleaning. Those are the days (nights) when my house becomes immaculate. My kids think that magic elves come on those nights… haha!
I need a good night (or days!) sleep because I work 12 hour night shifts delivering babies, and our two little ones still get up during the night most of the time!
Oh wow!!
I get so stressed thinking about the future that I can’t relax.
I can’t fall asleep unless I’m watching a movie or TV. Then I just watch until my eyes start to close. Otherwise, I lay awake thinking about everything and get no sleep!
Well I need good sleep because I am a single mom so for my kids, it’s all me all the time! I usually fall asleep pretty fast unless I’ve taken a nap earlier in the day which is rare.
Recently, I’ve been tossing and turning, flipping my pillows over trying to get comfy! But at least I get sleep. My husband has severe insomnia and he needs more sleep than I do lol.
When I go to bed I get jealous of my husband who seems to fall asleep so easily. And then I toss and turn for awhile until I can finally find the coziest spot. LOL Thanks for the fun giveaway! msmissy02 at gmail dot com
i have to sleep in the day because when i try to sleep at night i just cant,,my mind is panicing and racing and i get worried to the point i have to get up,,it tiring,,very,,,a good nights sleep would be great
I seem to have a hard time as of late falling asleep. I probably could use a new pillow. Mine are getting flat and I like my pillows fluffy.
I need a good night’s sleep so I’ll be rested for work in the morning. I usually fall asleep pretty quickly, though.
My husband and I are ready for a new bed!
If I don’t get a good nights sleep, I am not a good momma or teacher the next day.
Most nights when I get in bed my mind starts racing about all the events of the day or tomorrow’s events. It drives me crazy.
I can fall asleep quickly but staying asleep is another story
I haven’t had a good night’s sleep in five years! When I lay down with my two little ones to help them fall asleep (I sing and read stories every night), I sometimes fall asleep once they do. Once I’ve gotten my work done and actually go to bed, my mind is racing and I can’t sleep. It’s all worth it, for sure, but I definitely look forward to a day in the future when I get a good night’s sleep.
I have a very hard time getting a good night’s sleep! My mind doesn’t stop and I also have endometriosis, so much of the time I am in a lot of pain 🙁
