There are times where I feel so sleep deprived because I work so much.
And feeling so sleepy doesn’t help as much when I have to cart my kids around as well.
On Monday’s I have to pick them up late after school because they have after school tutoring. On Tuesday’s and Thursday’s I have to drive them to their sport practices. This is after a long day’s of work where most of the times I just want to lay down on the couch afterwards. However I know that my children need to be involved and I do this for them. Not only do I feel sleep deprived but sometimes I feel like I am sun deprived. I live in the northeast and are winters can be very long and can drag on for what seems like months. I honestly feel like I have a vitamin D deficiency most of the time. Plus I hate always having to wear multiple layers. Not to mention my furnace is running almost constantly. We are definitely the type of family who likes to keep their home warm. If we feel that we are even the slightest bit chilly we will turn up our thermostat. This may not be the most efficient and money and energy saving way to run a furnace but we want to stay warm. Before every winter I call my HVAC technician who is local, to come take a look at our furnace. We know that our furnace has been pretty dormant the past few months so we like to have him check it before we start running it.
