Why am I such a jerk?

Good grief!

It never seems to fail.

No matter what I do. No matter how much I try to unwind and focus on my night time routine so I can sleep, insomnia will inadvertently strike.

I'll get only a few hours of fitful sleep and finally fall into a deep sleep roughly an hour before I need to get up.

Then, Mama Bear really is a bear.

I'm short and growly with my children. I'm growly and yell at my poor sister who didn't know she was calling me before I had my coffee.

I hate feeling like this. Suffice to say, I'm in need of a major measure of Grace from my Lord.

Lord, please help me to get through this day and be kind to others regardless of how I feel. Help me to wake up and be productive regardless of how much I just want to go back to bed. My children are depending on me and they didn't do anything to deserve being yelled at for no reason. Thank you for your all sufficient grace that is ours for the asking. Amen.

 Pray for me, friends. I need it.

Do you all ever feel like this?

Leave me a comment and let me know what you do combat the little sleep blues.
