My daughter’s first sleepover

It’s my older daughter’s birthday today and all she wanted was to spend the day with her best friend and have her spend the night. I haven’t been sleeping well this week. Last night I took some anxiety medicine and night but it didn’t help. I’m so tired and exhausted but I can’t sleep. And I can’t sleep if I know my girls are awake without anyone awake to help them if they need. So while they are too excited to sleep, I’m getting a headache from needing sleep.

Such a hard place to be. I am the same way with my little ones. I always feel so bad when I don’t do enough for them. I pray that you will be able to sleep soon. I have also had insomnia in the past and the lack of sleep thing is just no good.
