May 15
In fact, too tired, too stressed and too busy just can’t count. When would at least one of these things not be true? Interesting to note, but not any more relevant than those circumstances would be to my decision to go to work. Interesting that I didn’t get enough sleep last night. Unfortunate even. But not a reason why I would not show up for my job.
Case in point: One of my friend’s grandmother had 16 kids. When my friend had her first baby and was totally sleep deprived during that first year, she asked her Grandma how she had dealt with sleep deprivation while raising 16 children. Her grandmother replied, “I pretended I slept.” Not a bad philosophy.
