Sleep - my number one struggle in life. There is never enough time in the day, and yesterday was no different.
My days are quite hectic from Monday through Friday because I have four kids. With four kids comes four different schedules.
Every day, I am out of the house from approximately 7:45 until 12:30. I then come home and catch up on things (dishes, laundry, tidying up) until it's time to get the kids at 3pm. However, today I had to wait for my oldest to get out of Jazz band until 3:40. We then booked it home, packed Tae Kwon Do and ski bags with snacks and gear. At 4:30, we left for the mountain where I dropped off the #1 and 3 children. Then, we drove about 25 minutes to Tae Kwon Do practice for the #2 child. #4 and I played a variety of 5-year-old friendly card games for an hour while we waited for #2 to finish practice. Once she was done, we went to the mountain to pick up #3 as his practice was done at 7pm. We then went home. ... No, I didn't forget #1! Not today anyway! She had already been taken home by my husband because she had an online collaboration project to do at home.
So - with that busy schedule, I wound up going to bed later than I need to. 10pm! That's really late for me. As a result, I didn't sleep very much, although the quality seemed to be quite good. I don't remember waking up as much as I typically do. Silver lining, right? Tonight, the kids have me out until 7:20 or so, so once I get them to bed, I will have my tea and relax by the fire. I will try to get to bed by 8:30 so I can be sleeping by 9!
One other hiccup was that I had my husband make sweet apple chicken sausage for dinner with steamed veggies. I thought I was doing a good thing by having protein and veggies, but then I looked at the ingredients and the number two ingredient is sugar! Not fake sugar though, so I think that is okay for these first two weeks, but I still want to try avoiding it if I can.
Overall - kickass day 2, my friends! :)
