Well, I have to admit that I needed and had a sleep day on the farm, it is interesting to me the difference between a town sleep day and farm sleep day..

When we lived in town if I felt unwell and really needed to go to sleep, you just go to bed, there is not much that can’t wait, If there is a sink full of dishes, they will still be there when you get up, if you need to water your plants, they really can wait till tomorrow, even if you garden in town, were as things might be ready to be picked that day, they will hold till the next.. and the same can be said to a point for house pets, o sure your kitty may think she is “so hard” done by because the water is still the same as it was in the morning when it was done, or that the food didn’t get its fresh topping up but in truth, she can either drink the stale water or wait for you to get up in six hours and then sit by the bowl and howl her protest..

But sleep days on the farm are different, they require you to get up, get dressed, slog your way out and do the chores before you can come back in the house, get undressed and crawl back into bed! Farm hounds and house purrpots all seem to be able to read the warning signs better then they did in town, they will all curl up and sleep with you, trying their best to be quiet and hoping that by pressing their warm bodies next to you, that you will get better faster!

Sleep day’s in the kitchens don’t change much from town to farm, not really.. its still fast food, open a can vs open a jar, or hubby you are making supper tonight, I guess it’s a little different in the fact that there are bowls of eggs to be used on the farm, where as they would not be seen in the same way in town.

Now for all your folks that have little ones, I imagine that it all changes again, depending on age and if they can help you at all or not.. All I know is that I really needed a sleep day yesterday and I took it, I slept the whole afternoon away, and it was lovely to say the least..

Hopefully I will be able to make up a few things that didn’t get done yesterday today, but even if I don’t, even if it takes me a couple days to get caught back up on the same level that I was at before my sleep day, I am not going to feel bad about it.

The farm will still be there when you wake up, and as long as everyones basic needs are meet before you went to sleep, then sleep a honest sleep and know all those extra’s can hold for a day!
