Random Musings of One Tired Momma

This year, I have decided to homeschool the kids who want to be homeschooled. She, above photo, decided she wanted to stay in school to be with her friends and teachers. Maybe it will work out for her or maybe she will change her mind. Either way, she will do great.

So, today was her first day back to school. She needed rest last night.

However, late in the night, I felt the bed shift and could feel that it wasn’t my husband. I sat up to see what it was and she had snuggled in on his side of the bed as is customary when any of them get in the bed with us. I don’t sleep well when we have a child in bed with us anymore as they are all too big, lol.

Anyway, my first response when it happens is, “what’s wrong. are you okay?” if everything is fine, I typically convince said child go back to her bed.

However, last night, my hubby told me – when I asked what was wrong – that she had a bad dream and he was talking her through it.

This I understand. I still have some awful nightmares! So, I snuggled back into him and tried going back to sleep. I finally decided I was going to sleep in her bed so she could sleep peacefully through the rest of the night as she would be waking up for her first day of school. Hubby tried to talk me out of it, but I told him it would be best. She needed a restful night sleep.

And away I went.

In her room , her younger sister was sleeping in her bed with her. It’s a twin bed.

At my age, I typically wake up with stiff joins anyway, and it definitely doesn’t help when one of the kids sleep in the bed with me.

But now, I am trying to sleep in a twin bed with my 6 year old daughter.

Needless to say, I didn’t get much sleep and my body was achy this morning, but my little one who had the bad dream slept well. She woke up happy and ready to go! She got herself ready for the day without any arguing.

And that’s what matters to me ❤

I hope you all and your littles have/had a great first day of school this year! Bless you, momma’s, as you navigate through the school year this year, whether it be your kindergartener or your senior or any in between.
