So tired

I am so tired of being tired! I can not seem to catch up on my sleep, no matter what I do. I didn't get up on Saturday until 11:00, and only then because dad called me. On Sunday, I woke up at 7, but then went back to sleep at 9 and didn't get up again until noon. I thought that would have helped me this week.

But, no. I am so exhausted all the time. I feel like I could sleep a week and still not feel awake.

However, I must admit that it may be my diet lately. Having no money for groceries makes whatever is cheap and easy the only choice. I have eaten a lot of sweet rolls lately, (there is a resident here that buys them a lot from the Church Office Building and sends them home with me,) cereal, and bags of donuts from Maverick. (Hostess donuts have been on sale, buy one get one for $.49 for several months now. It's hard for me to pass them up.) I know my stomach has been feeling it, so it's easy to say that my energy level will suffer also.

Now I know why people in poverty (at least in America) are so often overweight. It is way too easy to stop and grab 5 roast beef sandwiches for $5. I have one sandwich for the kids and I for dinner, and one for lunch the next day. Breakfast at McDonald's: 2 plain biscuits and a med Coke for $3. A box of cereal (usually kids type) for $2. Fruits, vegetables, and other healthy foods are expensive! It is so much easier to gain weight (or not loose it in my case) when you are on a very tight budget.
