Good morning ladies, how are you doing this Monday morning?
I am so tired, so so tired and have a bit of a headache (no doubt from the exhaustion). I've been up since 1:30am. You know I used to think once my kids were all grown up, I would get good sleep and not have interrupted sleep of any kind. It's not so though, I've been struggling this month with my perimenopause symptoms and insomnia is one of those, but it also doesn't help that when I finally fall asleep, one of the animals deems it appropriate to wake me up.
Last night it was Kaia, she just wanted cuddles, and I couldn't go back to sleep, and then at 3am, our rooster started crowing, wanting out of his coop. LOL
Goodness!
Anyway, that was my night, and that's why I am so tired this morning. We'll make it through though, it will be ok.
Right, let's get on with our post for today. Have yourselves a blessed week!

*** From the camera ***
I
have not been taking photos at all, I think I do have some on my camera that I haven't transferred over to the computer yet, but I don't think I have anything new to share today. That's sad. I have to remedy that immediately.
*** Devotional, Prayers, Bible Verses ***
I am starting my Bible reading again, and this time I'm going to follow a different plan. Instead of starting in Genesis again and going all the way through, I'm going to start in John, then Romans, then Ephesians, Phillippians, Proverbs and finishing with Psalms.
Why that order you may ask?
Well...
John - Story of Jesus' life
Romans - our Christian beliefs
Ephesians - How to live a holy life
Philippians - How to have joy in our trials
Proverbs - How to live wisely
Psalms - Following God's direction for our lives
Your Bible reading plan sounds like a good one! Hope you get a better rest tonight. Insomnia is no fun. I often find if I will start praying for others, or try reviewing a memory verse, I will often go right to sleep!
ReplyDeleteHoping you are able to get a good night's sleep tonight....
ReplyDeleteHello Dearest!
ReplyDeleteI hope you're able to get much better sleep tonight. Perimenopause can be the worst for that - ugh!! And I get the animals things doesn't help. Ruby can have skin things at time and will scratch like crazy and wake me up.
Blessings for a wonderful week ahead. xoxo
Olá Sandra, vou escrever em português, acredito que entenda. Fiquei muito feliz em ler que você vem buscando Vlogs do Brasil, que bacana. Sou brasileira e moro numa região de montanhas no estado do Rio de Janeiro. Seus sintomas tem sido os meus, mas consegui dar uma boa melhorada depois de uma visita médica e algumas receitas de remédios manipulados. Um ótimo dia para você, e descanse um pouco.
ReplyDeleteI love reading all of these and watching you ladies plan your homes so well.
ReplyDeleteHope you are all caught up on your sleep and feeling better today. I go through times where I don't pick my camera up as much either, so odd how the habit is there until it's not. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteGood morning :) I had two of those early morning days this week. Monday morning my husband had to get on the road at 4:00 a.m. so we woke up at 3:15. The next night I was so ready for a full nights sleep and then at 3:00 a.m my dog woke me up needing to go out. He never does that, so I figured he must really need to go, so I had to sit up for about 15 minutes while he was out. Finally last night was a peaceful sleep.
ReplyDeleteI love your Bible reading order. I never can make it all the way through in a year. I do best when I have devotionals to guide me or a Bible Study. My goal is to have notes on every page, signifying that something in the text has spoken to me.
I always love reading what shows or YouTube you're watching :) Thanks for sharing.
Have a great week! Hope you get some sleep :)
Hate nights when you can't catch up with sleep.. and in my case it only gets worse as I age.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week
Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteHi! I use earplugs for sleeping at night, quality ones are very helpful. ❤️

In general, good sleep is a big problem!! But if we manage to calm down half an hour before going to sleep, we will have a peaceful night!
