EXHAUSTION AND QUIZZES DON'T MIX!

What did I learn this week? I learned that exhaustion and quizzes don’t mix well. I learned that when I’m exhausted I don’t retain anything I study or read. I learned that when I don’t get enough rest, my body starts to shut down on me and I get sick. I learned that I am too old for 3 classes in one semester. I learned that I am frustrated and tired and even a little overwhelmed. I learned that I need the Lord involved in my life and my education because without Him, I will never make it. I learned that I want to be an empathetic leader and a person others turn to in times of need. I learned that I am both participative and delegative which means I’m a delegative leader. I’m good with that. I learned that when I am tired, I get side-tracked very easily. I learned that I miss my missionary daughter more than I realized and I cannot wait until she comes home. I learned when I am exhausted I have no patience with anyone or anything. 

In other words, I learned a lot this week. Most of which would fall into the hard lesson learned category and relate to my lack of sleep. I am 49 years old and I cannot run on 3-4 hours of sleep. I just don’t function well. I don’t do well at home or at work or in school. I remember the days when I could go 3 days on 3 hours sleep and run like a champion, but those days are LONG gone. I need rest. I need to find the balance. I don’t know how to find the balance. I guess that means it is time to hit my knees and ask for help. That’s another lesson that I learned this week…it is okay to ask for help from your friends, co-workers, and the Lord. As a matter of fact, it would appear that successful people do just that. 

I am making progress on the $100 Challenge by still gathering clothing to sell.
