Better, Today

I've learned this lesson hundreds of times, maybe more. But it's a lesson I easily forget. When you don't get enough sleep or food, life seems so much more difficult!

The other day (yesterday? Everything is running together!) I posted about wishing the baby would come now instead of having to wait for the 20th, but today, after a good nights sleep and a few good meals, I feel so much better. No, I don't think I would be able to handle another month or two of this, but a week or two . . . It seems like a piece of cake today!

There are lots of things around here that keep me from eating or sleeping adequately, but I always have control over one of them: Me. And I often forget that! Yes, the babies wake up some nights, but I could go to bed a little earlier to get a head start on sleep! And of course things come up throughout the day that may postpone my preparing a meal for myself, but there are always ways to make sure I feed not just my babies, but their caretaker too!

Things are soon to get a little crazier around here, and I think that the best way I can handle it all will be to make sure I take care of myself right along with the rest of my family!
