WORSHIP SONG:

Pushing Back the Dark - Josh Wilson & Matthew West

5 GRATITUDES (Thank you, Heavenly Papa!):

• Thank you God for safely getting the kids and I from the dentist & school.
• Thank you God I finally got caught up in my subcon work despite lack of sleep.
• Thank you God for my husband's skills.
• Thank you God the kids go to good schools.
• Thank you God 3 quarters are completed for the kids and they are in the 4th quarter.

THOUGHTS:

• Our daughter's grades were decent.  She had 1 B and the rest were A's.
• Our son had straight A's for his first 2 quarters, but this time, he got 2 B's.  My husband said he still did well and not to do what my parents did to me regarding grades.  Okay.
• The kids' laptop isn't working.  My husband narrowed it down to memory, the system board and one other thing.  We don't have what we need to troubleshoot, so I will have to call a computer store, so I will call a friend of mine's computer store.
• Really need to cut out the fast food stuff.  It's gotten a lot harder to cook for my husband as he's gotten a lot pickier, making it hard for me.  I don't have the energy to make multiple meals.
• It's been a hard day in that my sleep was so disjointed.  I feel like in slow motion and thankful despite this, that was able to get all my work done a lot quicker than I had been with enough sleep.
• Really, really need to exercise.  I feel so yucky not working out.  I will carve out time to workout tomorrow so as long as my husband lets me sleep and doesn't mess up my sleep.
• Glad my husband has been going to bed earlier and waking up earlier.
• Since I was having a really bad time sleeping last night, I chose to do a bunch of tapping not using any audios, rather things that came to mind.  Lots of negative identity words.  I use Dr. Pat Carrington's Choices Method on those negativity identity words.  So for example, "Even though I once thought of myself as a loser, I now choose to see myself a Champion, making Champion choices."  Anyway, it would go something like that.  I don't know how long I did that, but I probably on/off did that for a couple hours in a daze, wanting to sleep.  What I found today was having some sugar cravings, which resulted in me getting a donut, which I haven't eaten a donut in quite a few months.  Or, that could be the sleep deprivation.  Not sure what.  We'll see how I am when I get enough sleep.

SLEEP:

• 10:00 pm - 12::00 am, 12:15 am - 12:30 am, 3:00-5:30 am (~approx 4 hrs) - my husband came to bed just before midnight, which is super early for him, then he woke me at 12:30 am, guess he wasn't quite sleep enough.  I think he back asleep probably 1:15 am and I was wide away from then to 3:00.  Surprised I could get up this morning.  I'm probably going to need to take a nap.
