Yesterday was a day with no margin. I had traffic duty, no specialty, recess duty and a BYU practicum student to talk to if I did have any sliver of time.
After school I went from one thing to the next, finally standing still about 9:00 PM. My body was sizzling with over stimulation and I didn't sleep well, which is a fun part of my personality after a hard day.
At 3:00 AM, when I was feeling frustrated, I remembered that sometimes when she can't sleep, Olivia gets up and reads the scriptures.
I wrapped up in a blanket and sat in my chair with my laptop and watched my favorite podcast, Follow HIm. I had my scriptures balanced on the arm of the chair next to me so that I could take notes if I wanted. I was there for maybe an hour when Adam wandered out of our room and said, "Come back to bed, I'll help you sleep."
He rubbed my back and I went back to sleep, thoughts of the daily replaced with thoughts of the eternal.
Olivia's pretty smart.

What good sisters I have!
All 3 are good sisters. And Adam is a good husband to help you sleep.
I listened to Ali's Yoga Nidra that you told me about last night to help me sleep. It worked like a charm. You're the smart one!
