So, I have been at 5 births in the last week and half and I am completely drained of compassion and wisdom. I was telling hubby that I think I am hung over from birth. It takes days for me to recover from the lack of sleep. 3 of the births I was at were over 15 hours, one lasting an amazing 39 hours. Of course it is all worth it when you see the look in mom and dad's eyes the first time they hold their baby. But I feel like I am walking around in haze. This makes me feel so old. If I was 20 I would have the energy for this. Being gone from the kids for this long makes me feel like I need to reprioritize a little. I am going to spend the day at Marco's school tomorrow, volunteering in the class. He is very excited about that.
I went to a dinner and movie lat night with my mom and sister. The Secret Life of Bees. It was a good movie but I cried at least 5 times. I probably should have gone to bed early, I am still exhausted.

You know I'm training a lot now, Kung-fu, Parkour, Jedi, etc, I'm in some physically demanding class or another five days out of the week, and my Sifu says sometimes the best training is resting.
People who are motivated and loving what they're doing often forget that resting is as important as acting.
Try to keep that in mind, you well rested, or as well as can be, are much better for people than not.
