"I'm Tired" She said

Yes, I heard those two words that a teenager likes to say during the summer, and I think that she has a valid complaint, at least some of the time. Her working hours are not very much so it allows her to have free time along with days off to have some summer fun. The best of both worlds, especially when the paycheck comes in and she has something to deposit into her account. Getting a good night's rest is very important to a teenager, especially when they are working or having other activities that draw alot of energy. I try to make sure that she is getting enough protein in her diet as well as enough to drink so that she stays hydrated. At least I have NOT heard the words "I'm Bored!" Thank goodness.

Today's Monday--Get Out Of Bed !!!

This weekend went well and we stayed really busy with the football game Friday night, going to the horse stables and shopping for groceries on Saturday, but Sunday, we took a very relaxing day to rest. There were times that we were almost bored out of our skulls on Sunday because there's really not much to do except watch football games on tv, which is something that occurs at our house as much as possible (hubby, of course). This morning it's time to get up and go to school and get back into our weekly routine. Dear daughter of mine, I know you hate getting woke up early, but school is important. Try going to sleep a little bit earlier or taking a nap on Sunday so you will be well rested. Getting plenty of rest is very important. Wake up and get ready for school......and by the way, you might as well smile, because you got the whole day ahead of you.
