Good! Let her be a martyr without an audience because you have a lot more going on in your life right now anyway, right?
Quote: But this week, when I have turned off the computer thinking I would watch a film, I have wound up going to bed early instead, only to wake up early too, to think and fret!
I have that problem too. I don't feel too stressed most of my day, so I'm often dismayed when this happens--as mothers, don't we deserve every second of slumber? My friends are pretty much older than I am, and I have the benefit of their wisdom. I was lamenting this very issue a few months ago when my good friend (10 years older than I am) commented, "Bets, you do realize that a change in sleeping patterns and behaviors is a symptom of menopause?" Uh, no, I didn't. I'm religiously taking an herbal remedy for this, and it's improved drastically.
I think we're the same age or thereabouts? I've clinched the process with blood work, but if you haven't, it's something I attributed to my circumstances and not my phsyiology. And I underestimated the power of both... I'm also finding it hard to read longer than 10 minutes or watch TV longer than 5 before falling asleep. Only to wake up at 3:00 am. YUCK!
KWIM=Know What I Mean? I'm sometimes too lazy to type... Sorry!
