TIRED
I'm so tired. A really great Beatles song starts with this line.... Let's not got there. I really am tired. Yesterday was my last day of class for the semester. It feels like I've poured out all my brain on papers and group work and I have very little left with which to think and write and converse.
I wonder when there will be a day when I'm not tired. We stay up late, enjoy each other and the city of London, we sleep in (sometimes, depending on classes), we rinse and repeat. When are the days of 12 hour nights plus naps? Was that only for a brief moment, sophomore year in college? I long for days when I don't feel tired. Or braindead. Or frustrated. Or short-tempered.
I need some perspective. Someone once told my Mama right before she had me that hopefully she had cherished a good night's sleep because she wouldn't have another one for 18 years...! If these are the good days of restful nights free of care and worry and limited responsibility, I need to feel less tired!
I guess the tiredness affects my attitude and sleep deprivation doesn't help, so I will try to, a) get more sleep and, b) adjust my perspective. It's Christmastime and in the words of Kevin McAllister's mother, "The season of perpetual hope." Amen.

lol. well that lady who told your mom is right. but honestly I am more well rested now then i was before I had kids, for the soul fact that I appreciate it more now. also never underestimate the power of a good B complex vitamin...
sounds like lovely life enjoying London and all...relish and lap up every moment...because in 5 years your life will look so much different and you will be glad for so many great memories...
You are just too cute! Thanks for stopping by today, so I could find your bloggy world here. College is tiring. Finals week is exhausting. so hopefully you can rest over the next couple of weeks. Glad to meet you on my first ever 5 minutes post.
