Scarecrow: I haven’t got a brain… only straw.
Dorothy: How can you talk if you haven’t got a brain? (I ask myself this many times)
Scarecrow: I don’t know… But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking… don’t they?
Boy I crashed today!! Have you ever come to the point where your body says….ENOUGH. And you want to argue, “but I have so much to do”. Well your body wins out every time. I woke up tired, I could not think clearly. I did not go to church because I did not feel well, but I was not sick.
I felt like the Scarecrow in Wizard of OZ, who kept losing his stuffing, and could not put himself back together. I began my mountain of laundry, folded one load, ate a little bit of lunch and then told hubby “I am going to go lay down”.
“I don’t know what is wrong with me but I am so tired” I mumbled. That was around 1pm; hubby finally came and woke me up around 3:45 worried I was going to sleep the day away. I do feel a little better, a little more “put together”. I guess my body just needed the rest, and my mind needed to shut down. I praise God I have a wonderful husband who is there to help me “put myself back together”.
See you tomorrow.

man, I can relate. Sometimes it seems like we stuff to much in a day that we start feeling like we are loseing brain cells. Glad you got a nap:)
So then you’re together now huh? that’s so good to hear and yes, your hubby seems to be a keeper.
Sometimes that’s all you can do - just say, “I’m done. See you in a little while.” I think it happens to all of us. Run, run, run and suddenly you wake up one day and realize you’re so tired you can’t function. So good for you. I’ll bet you’re all better now.
I bet everybody reading this can relate! I’ve found myself unexpectedly crashing during the day sometimes… I’m always surprised (”why am I so tired?”) but hubby is never surprised!
Mark Buchanan talks a lot about this in his book The Rest of God. He points out that sleep (or rest), if you neglect it, will hound you and never let you go… if you keep avoiding it, eventually you’ll simply fall over. Sleep will pursue you until you submit. Interestingly, that’s not how God works. He will pursue you and pursue you… but if you choose to keep avoiding Him, he’ll back off and let you be for awhile. He’ll let you see what it’s like without Him. Intriguing comparison, huh?
I’ve SO been there, too… just gotta LOVE Sunday afternoon naps!

Glad you’re all together now. I’ve had days like those. I try to catch up on weekends, sleeping in as late as I need to. It certainly helps to have an understanding hubby.
This was totally me yesterday. After an overloaded week I just crashed not feeling well at all. I thank God He knows better than me and sometimes He just needs to make me rest. I got that yesterday too!
Where you asking if I was together with my husband or together in my mind? Yes to first No to the second:)
