Sharing Sleep Habits
How many times do you wake up during the night and find that you can't fall back to sleep? Don't you hate people that can just go to bed and sleep all night long?
I have always been a very light sleeper, the littlest noise wakes me up and then my head starts thinking so I can't fall back to sleep. It really is just the way I am, I don't find there to be a cure for me. I even take Tylenol pm, it helps, but I still wake up frequently.
Now my husband is another story, he goes to bed and is out in a few minutes waking up the next morning. I envy him, wish I could do that even a couple times a week.
I dream a lot too, some times one dream after another. I think that is because I wake up and when I finally fall back to sleep it is with a new dream.
Sleeping habits are hard to break, they are also a habit that would contribute to having a better day. A certain amount of sleep is required but I am beginning to think that different people require different amounts of time that they need sleep. I require about 6 hours of sleep and actually I function very well during the day. My husband requires more sleep and when he doesn't get it he needs to make up for it the next day.
They say that older people require less sleep and that is kind of scary because I can't imagine sleeping any less than I already do.
I would really like to hear from some of you out there on this subject. Let me know about your sleeping habits? What you've tried? What you have found works well for you? What annoys you about how well others sleep? Even if you are just like me and except it as the way you are?
Let me know

Together For A Stressless Easter
Here it is April 6th and here in Pittsburgh we are waiting on snow. Do you believe this! With the holiday weekend coming up I am sure you all have plans as I do and would love some wonderful weather. Most of the clothes advertised for Easter are summery and if the weather remains this way we'll all be in sweaters!
Holidays are sometimes very stressful for people, especially the people that are the ones who always do everything. Easter is the one holiday I have changed in my life. You see, I too, am that person that always hosts the holiday meals and functions.
A few years ago, I decided that I deserved a change and now we meet at a restaurant for a big breakfast all together and then everyone has the rest of their day to do as they please. I love it! No spending too much money, no cooking, no cleaning up, it is wonderful. You get to be waited on and share quality time with the family and still have the day to do anything you please. We even meet our friends at the place we eat, very enjoyable.
I also found that I was not the only one that this arrangement helped. My oldest daughter is married and it gives her time to spend with both families and not be in such a rush. I understand and remember too well how hard it was when my husband and I had to eat two meals on holidays to please everyone. My sister in law has two children and it makes it easier on them to go between families and functions. All in all, everyone is very content.
Money being like it is right now for a lot of people I think you may find this to be a cheaper way to get together and enjoy you day. By the time that you buy your food, drink, and supplies you need the cost can be very high and you still have the shopping, preparing, and cleaning up to do.
No matter what your preference is for your holiday, enjoy and Happy Easter!

Decisions, Decisions, Decisions!
I was watching this commercial last night and it questioned on how many times you question decisions that you have made. It referred to having money problems and whether you would send your child to college or not because of those money problems. It talked about if you gave your child a correct punishment that was deserved because of an act they had participated in and so fourth.
It had really nothing to do with what it was advertising about but it really made me stop and think of how many times we doubt the decisions we make every day. I think as much as we believe in what our decision is that there is always that little piece of doubt if it was the right one.
We hope that decision has the conclusions we are picturing it to have. No matter what the situation is we have to take the person or persons involved, the situation at hand, and combine the two to see how we see it all act out. What we see isn't always the way it plays through but we learn from that.
Not every decision we make has to be the best, that decision doesn't have to have the perfect ending. No matter how confident you are there will always be some doubts of your decisions. We are not made to be perfect people and we will not always make the perfect decision.
Don't put more pressure on yourself than you need to. If you have put thought into your decision and feel good about it, you have done your part. If things don't work out the way you had planned you can always make a new decision, now I'm talking the normal every day decisions.
Say that you are having financial difficulty and your child wants to go to college, of course look into any programs that can assist you, maybe have your child live at home and go to a community college, or have them hold off a year and work to save some money to attend the next year. As long as you are honest of the reasons for that decision with the people involved you are doing the right thing.
We put so much pressure on ourselves every day and we need to stop or at least give ourselves a break. This is just a thought for the day, the commercial just got me thinking.

Spring Has Sprung
The weather is starting to improve outside which brings a rejuvenating feeling to many people. Spring is a good time to start making changes in your lifestyle. Taking a walk at night is always a good way to unwind after a filling dinner. Walking also gives you time to think and let those thoughts go for the rest of the evening.
Spending more time outside rather than in the house seems to give people a healthier personality. There is so many little things we can do to pass the time outside, we see and talk to neighbors that we haven't seen in a few months. Spring is like a beginning, a new fresh day. Don't you notice that people seem so much happier when the weather is nicer?
Use this time to start new habits in exercise, eating, things you have put off. Spend time with your family. Go on picnics, participate in outside activities, encourage any activity that can bring your family out of the home. We have all been inside for many months sitting in front of the TV, computer, mainly sitting. Time to make a change people.
How about making a commitment right now while you're reading this. Make a list of accomplishments for this week and do them, next week make another. If you take it week by week and you see you are heading in the right direction, you will push harder the next week. If you just sit there, though, and don't start anything, nothing will ever change.
My goals are to start exercising just a little bit every day and my husband and I have many projects to complete around the house outside. We work on them together and we still manage to have fun. We don't put any pressure on, just do what we can each day. We like to go camping in the summer, so in order to be able to do that we have to get these things done soon.
