Sleepy Saturday

Today was a very rainy day where I live. Everyone decided to take a nap sometime around 2 pm. Since I don't usually nap, I decided to lie in my bed and watch TV. About 2 hours later my eyes got so heavy that I couldn't barely keep them open. Just as sleep was taking over, in walks my precious daughter, just waking up from her nap. I convinced her to climb in the bed next to me and then I handed her the remote.

I told her she could watch her show but honestly I can't even remember her changing the channel. I was so exhausted that I fell asleep immediately. My husband was already sleeping in the bed next to me so my daughter was up by herself. It was sometime after 4pm now when I fell asleep. I did not awake until 6pm. I needed the sleep.

When I got up I was happy to see that my husband was up and tending to the kids. I felt so guilty that I fell asleep and left my daughter up. Generally, I will not go to sleep if my children are awake unless my husband is awake and can tend to them. You never know what can happen. Frankly I think it is irresponsible and I wouldn't be able to live with myself if something happen to any of my children while I was asleep.

Anyhoo, thank God my husband woke up while our daughter was in the bed watching TV and so he saw that I fell asleep and he got out of bed and took her out of the room so that I could rest. He knows I don't usually sleep in the middle of the day unless I am exhausted. I am happy I got some rest because I really needed it. It's not that I wouldn't want to nap in the daytime, it's just that once I'm up I just go and go and go. I usually have to unwind at night time since I am a night owl and could stay up for hours into the night. I've been trying to get myself to go to bed before midnight nowadays because with 2 young children I can't sleep in as I would like.

It's so awesome to have days like this: I really enjoyed my sleepy Saturday!
