Sleep...and Other Things I Don't Get Nearly Enough Of

I need my sleep. I admit it. If I don't, I get grouchy and moody and you DON'T want to be around me.  But, as is the case most days, I don't get enough sleep.  So, to compensate, I make sure I get plenty of coffee.

But, as I rushed around after oversleeping for the fourth day in a row (I swear, at least part of it is my alarm clock's fault!), I started thinking about other things I don't get enough of in my life--mainly because these are the things I could never get enough of!

I don't get enough chocolate. In an attempt to stay healthy and under the 300 pound mark on the scale, I try not to eat as much chocolate as I would like. 

I don't get enough bear hugs. Especially the long, squishy, can-feel-the-heartbeat type.

I don't get enough, "Mom, your the greatest mom EVER!" from my son. Who could get enough of that?

I don't get enough sleepy smiles from my daughter as I wake her up in the mornings. There isn't anything more beautiful!

I don't get enough girls' nights out with my friends, where you laugh even when you are determined to cry!

I don't get enough time in the day to tell all those I love how very much I love and appreciate them. So, I'll do it now in the hope a few of you read this today.

Thank you to those who love and support me through the good and the bad, through laughter and tears, through parties and pity-parties. I love and appreciate you!
