It's Amazing What Two Full Days of Sleep Can Do

After being sick and sleeping for 36 hours straight, with an additional 12 or so on the couch, I was up half the night last night. I woke unexpectedly this morning around the right time. The circumstances were a little different than I planned, but I was saved from missing the alarm clock that hadn't been set, and it was early enough for a sweet quiet time with my Beloved, so it was worth it. Started my day off much more focused.

I thought I'd really be dragging after being up so late and rising so early, but as you can see, I'm still here at 2am. But I'm ready for bed, so after I write one more post, I'm hitting the hay!

It's Going to Be One of THOSE Days . . .

Two of my boys woke up about an hour ago throwing up, one right after the other. Some years ago, this would have done me in, and I'd have been right alongside them. As a kid, I used to have to run from a room if I even heard someone getting sick. My family thought this was hilarious.

. . . Yeah. Real funny.

I don't run anymore, and do a rather formidable job of taking care of them as they are sick, but I still have retained a little of the freak-out reaction. So please pray for me today. I have a feeling it's going to be a long one.
