Tired ( actually more like exhausted...)

This morning ( for some reason), i woke up feeling very tired.  Not i went to bed too late tired, but honestly and truly TIRED.  Physically, emotionally, and spiritually...all wrapped up in one neat little package. 

I thought the coffee might help. 

It didn't.  ( well, maybe just a little bit).  I try very hard to wake up in the mornings and be present for my family.  I am admittedly not an "early" morning person which generally does not mesh well with having two children under the age of 4.  Try as I might, i will NEVER be a wake-up-at-5-am-exercise-then-read-the-paper-before-the-rest-of-the-house-wakes kind of gal.  I am very jealous of people ( or moms for that matter) who can do this.  But I digress.....

So, the coffee didn't work.  The cold water splashed repeatedly on my face didn't work. I think i maybe I'm just TIRED.....

I am so grateful for all things in my life...wonderful husband, healthy children , great family...but i wonder sometimes where "I" went in the process. 

Maybe I just need a nice, long, nap....or maybe I am just anticipating my 2 week vacation with my husband and kids...the good parts of that , and the bad ( uhhhhh...come on, who doesn't like riding in an airplane with a screeching 2 year old.?).  OR, maybe it's packing for 4 people that's got me feeling "tired". Or maybe it's the MOUNDS of laundry waiting for me...did I mention that they were MOUNDS?  *sigh*.

I'm not complaining...really i'm not...( ok maybe just a little). 

How do you ( doesn't matter if you have kids or not) ladies deal with feeling "tired"?  I KNOW you all know what I mean...
