Waking up this morning was rough - I was zonked. I had a rough night... now and then I have flashbacks in my sleep, not dreams exactly... and often experience 'sleep paralysis'. I was struggling for probably 2 hours in and out of states and by 5 am I was ready to give up on sleep because I was fearful if I fell back to sleep it would start over again. But as it happened, once I got through that 2-4:30 a.m. rough stuff, my last bit of sleep was ok. Still...not a restful night. So I was really quite happy when my husband announced his shift today was noon to 9 p.m instead of his usual 9 to 5. I was able to go back to bed 
Once our girls were in school, I was in bed again and got a good few hours...Sleep is a big issue for me. If I don't get the right sleep, everything can fall apart sooooo easily.
The afternoon and evening was ok - spent entirely with my daughters of course doing the usual kind of mom/kid stuff. Made dinner, did reading, homework help etc. They're all in bed now. They had good days so that is something I am grateful for. My six year old actually went on a class trip today - they went apple picking and she had a really fun time. 
I have a lot of errands tomorrow so I'll probably just turn in myself without doing much else tonight.
Luv n hugs

It amazes me how sleep can have such a huge impact on so much of the other things we go through. I too have sleep issues, not the same ones as you, but enough to understand your frustrations and joy of being able to go back to bed for a few hours. Hope you get lots of good restful sleep tonight.
Sounds like your daughter had a great time on her class trip.
