Sleeping too much

Hi @Former-Member @Former-Member

.... dozed off for a bit .....💤😏

@Former-Member .... try re-writing your dream, now that you're awake, and taking charge of it .... calling the shots in it on your own terms .... it's what my mum told me growing up and what I told my kids ....

Hope that helps .... 💕

@Former-Member - you've just answered it, in terms of unpredictable outcomes ..... you find the baseline .... ❣

Baseline for my day was ..... my family was all together for FD .... and I didn't have to cook or clean up .... they are the things that matter most, and the things that need to be remembered about this day ..... the rest can slide ....

That point between predictably static and wildly creative ? Life happens in there ..... and the balance is different for everyone .... and that's okay .... 💜🌷

Think I am just starting to work it out @Faith-and-Hope, a few decades too late but I guess better later than never for my boys sake. I think now I will just have to learn how to manage extended family. When it's just the kids and I it is so much more relaxed and there is laughter. And my kids are themselves more and so am I. I guess I've realised recently the one thing we mostly had with the boys growing up was laughter. I don't have that memory from my childhood. We weren't a family who laughed much. I am feeling blessed that the kids get together and laugh more. Thanks for helping work through this. You must be exhausted💜😊

@Former-Member

It sounds like you are working out what you want from your family life, and your kids will take cues from you .... then they will work out their own baselines as they branch out into life, as your S1 is already doing ..... wtg there .... ❣

I am running tired .... but WH is running exhausted .... he is struggling to stay awake during conversations in the middle of the day .... setting an alarm to wake at 5:30am, and struggling to be anywhere but bed npbut about 8:30pm at night ..... hard to witness, but beyond my control ... part of this coming to a head at some stage. Have to trust him to my faith and just hope he will be okay in the longer term.

He's away on a plane again tomorrow, and that gives me the respite I need to recharge my batteries according to my own sleeping patterns .... self-care has to be a carer's priority .... when he is away I can take power naps during the day .... off-duty re preparing his lunch and washing too ....

Heading to bed ... till 5:30am .... lol .... 💤💕

Night @Faith-and-Hope💜😊💤😴
