This week I am grateful for sleep. The last few weeks I have been walking around in a daze. Like a zombie. Zoe has been up early most mornings, and some nights a few times during the night (this is not normal for her) I have also been having trouble getting to sleep at night, there has been so much going on in my head.
My mum is such a good egg, she stayed over last Saturday night, and got up to Zoe (at 5am!) and also Abbey who woke up not long after. I had an amazing nights sleep, got up at 7am, fed Zoe, had breakfast, and went back to bed for 2 more hours - I felt like a new person after all that sleep. I have been making sure I get to bed at a reasonable hour each day since, and the zombie feeling is gone. I am still tired, but not the zombie tired, there is a big difference.
I am also grateful that Chris got a last minute flight last night and arrived home this morning. So another long weekend with him. We are a family again for 3 glorious days. I am grateful he works for an airline (no, he is not a pilot!) so he is able to come home and see us often.
Finally, I am grateful for beautiful sunflowers. I bought two for us, and two for my mum last week. They inspired me to get out my proper macro lens and take some photos. I love macro photography and being able to see the world from a different angle.
Pop in and see all the lovely gratefulness over at Maxabella Loves.
Have a lovely weekend peeps. Cat

It really makes all the difference...I know I function so much better if I have been able to get just one sleepin on the weekend - bliss :-)

Enough sleep can make the world all that more sweeter. Glad you got some!
ReplyDeleteAmazing sunflower pic!
Sleep is truly a wonderful thing. The Dalai Lhama says it's the key to happiness and I agree.
ReplyDeleteSleep and the lack of it is so all consuming when our little ones are young. My sleep habits are still messed up (hence, here I am at almost midnight).
ReplyDeleteLove the macro shots - beautiful detail.
Speaking of sleep....I think I need some now.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog and commenting.
Love your blog! So pleased to meet and follow you!
Have a great weekend.

Ah..sleep. It's just the best and I love how all these comments echo that! Glad you are back from the zombie no-sleep!
ReplyDeleteThe photograph of the flower is just breathtaking. Lovely blog you have here!
I know the zmbie state only too well. Sleep is such a luxury.
ReplyDeleteOh the zombie state is something I know all too well! I think I lived in it for the last 12 months - not fun! Thank goodness for Mums - no way I'd cope without mine! Sunflowers are the perfect pick me up flowers. I regret not planting any last year as I'd be enjoying them now every day if I did.
