Jennifer, so similar a story! Yes, that kind of tired is something I am not interested in ever experiencing again. I realized the hard way that we MUST sleep in order to form memory. So much of my children’s childhoods I don’t remember. Luckily they do! They make fun of me (sweetly) when I don’t remember things. My son get a little worried, but I now realize its all because of the trauma of the marriage and the lack of sleep for years and years and years. I hear you. Mine always had books…and he actually got to read them!! I read at night as well, until I fell asleep. I never read a whole book on vacation. Until last year. Thanks for your thoughtful comment!!
