Oh What a Night

I just had a dream come true. It was a night of uninterrupted sleep! That doesn't happen around here very often.

Just about every single night I get at least one and sometimes two visitors in my bed each night. That would be my 2 big girls. Therefore, little to no sleep for mom here. When I get up in the morning, backache, stiff neck, shoulder ouch, and so sleepy.

Unfortunately, I have had some health issues that we think were prompted by my little to no sleep. My doctor ordered that I get rest. Well, I finally got some last night.

My husband had a great idea. We let the girls go to sleep in our bed last night. I slept in their room, in the trundle bed {of all places to get a good night sleep}. I slept all night! I don't even think I moved. I woke up in the same position I fell asleep in. No back ache. No stiff neck. No shoulder ouch. No sleepiness. Just a well rested mom! Oh, what a night.

Loved the post... I'm a really light sleeper so I know the PAIN!

oh the sleepless nights, the back aches... the neck that seems completely out of place...

Would it help if your took some chamomile tea or valerian tea to help you sleep? That, and sleeping in your daughter's bed for a week.

All the best.
