Mayme's Journey Through This Life

Sleep, sleep, sweet sleep!

That's all I want today. It isn't what I am going to get, but it is definately what I want. I have been so extremely tired lately. I can't get through a day without a little nap. I know getting up at 5 isn't easy for anyone. Here is pretty much my weekly schedule.
Monday, Friday

1-laundry, feed, water and clean up animals
2-nap
3-watch tv
after 4 pretty much the same as every other day.

Saturdays
however things fall into place. We try to have some fun and get some projects worked on.

Sundays
10:30-12 church
12:30 lunch either with my parents or at a restaurant
Lately we haven't done church or the special lunch. We have stayed in bed.
Most of Sunday is unstructured after church. However, during some part of Sunday I clip coupons and organize them, wash John's lunchbox, make John's sandwiches for the entire week and freeze them, make a week's worth of "uncrustables" for Amanda and freeze them, mix and bottle a week's worth of gatorade (I buy powdered form), mix and bottle a week's worth of lemonade or iced tea for John's lunch. John takes 2 bottles of gatorade and 1 bottle of another drink as well as a liter of water. I also make a point of doing something together with my family on Sunday afternoon. If the weather is fitting we go outside. If not, it is an inside activity. I hop on the computer for a few minutes here and there every day. Usually as I am doing my other stuff I'll just take a few minutes. Whenever I just need to do something different for a few minutes I hop on here.
Anyway, right now I just feel very run down. I made an appointment with a diabetes specialist for next Wednesday. I haven't had medical insurance for so long. Perhaps some of my exhaustion is due to not taking proper care of my diabetes. Well, now that I have medical insurance maybe I can get that back on track. Maybe once I get my health in better shape I will have more energy.

    I hope your diabetes specalist can do something to help with your tiredness Mayme. I'm tired all the damn time too but I think it's just age and lack of sleep. LOL
