In a previous post I confessed my current abnormal fascination with all things Bravo TV. So hopefully when I tell you that the title for this post was inspired by two different Bravo reality stars you won't think I am completely insane. In last week's episode of Bethenny Ever After, Bethenny (who I LOVE!!!) used it when discussing everything she's got going on right now and in last night's season premiere of The Real Housewives of Orange County, Gretchen (who I really know absolutely nothing about other than she's not a big fan of Tamra) used it while talking about everything on her plate.
Today, as I contemplated everything that I have to do with work, the kids, the house, etc., it occured to me that "I'll sleep when I'm dead." is going to have to become my motto as well. There's just one problem: I LOVE my sleep. I do. Sleep and I have a very close relationship. I'm not really sure how its gonna work, but I've decided that we are just going to have to see a little less of each other. At least temporarily. Don't worry. I'm gonna take it slow. Maybe try staying up 30 minutes later one week and then gradually increase to an hour. Once I get to an hour I'll reevaluate and see how things are going. My goal is not sleep deprivation. I just need to find a better balance between productivity and relaxation. Right now relaxation is winning by a landslide. And while relaxation itself is not bad, too much of it could be called laziness. I do not want to be a lazy person, nor do I want to raise my girls to be lazy people. I grew up around a lot of laziness and trust me when I say nothing good comes from it. So wish me luck as I try out my new motto....I have a feeling I am going to need it!!
