What do you do when you are just downright tired?

I just want to crawl into bed and sleep!  But I have this responsibility called...motherhood...that keeps me from caving into that urge.  So here I sit...zoning out in the quiet of the familyroom.  I still don't know why I can't fall onto my bed...the kiddos are out and about enjoying the beauty of the day.  I have nothing that needs to be accomplished right now...but my head keeps spinning with thoughts...important and otherwise.  I find myself fighting between rest verses idleness/laziness.  What is it that I have? 
And then that thought makes my head hurt more and tears form...and I know it is sheer tiredness caused by many different things in my life. 
I need to just relax and be still for a time...and not feel guilty about it.  There are times like this that will come...with the ebb and flow of life...and I need to take advantage of the quiet moments.
I like the truth in Psalm 37..."Fret not thyself...Trust in the LORD...Delight thyself...Commit thy way...Rest in the LORD..."  I am thankful for such a restful place...called home.
And then today in Proverbs 27 "Boast not thyself of tomorrow;  for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth."  I know what the calendar holds for me...but I also know that God holds plans for me too!
I am going to take the opportunity to rest today...because there are opportunities coming...and I need to be ready!  It is the weekend...time with my husband, church on Sunday, and VBS starts this week with opportunities to minister and serve others.
A cup of coffee and a good book should help me work through my tiredness...and I won't feel guilty if I fall asleep for a few minutes...because I know the slamming door will wake me soon!
