I go to bed at pretty much the same time every night. I wake up the same time every morning. I STILL CAN'T SLEEP when I crawl into bed! Some nights are worse than others. I just don't get it. I don't nap during the day. I have put myself on a schedule, if you will that does not seem to be doing the trick and I can't stop thinking at night.
It's like a nightly ritual that my mind performs. I am awake all day. I am by myself all day. I am bored all day. Why can't I think during the day?!
I am the furthest thing from a morning person and I love to sleep, but I just can't. When I do finally sleep, it seems I can't get enough of it and want to sleep my life away.
Here's how my night went down...
9:00pm- Went to bed and read my book
10:45pm- Reached a stopping point, but the book is so damn good, I couldn't put it down.
11:04- Forced self to put book away. Succeeded.
Lights out.
Stared into darkness.
Tossed and turned.
Removed clothes thinking maybe it was why I couldn't comfortable.
Realized I needed to shave my legs.
Thought about ideas for a blog that I will post Thursday.
Realized that I need a new blog name. "This Little Family" just seems... boring... Any brilliant ideas?
Forgot that I needed to get the girls' blankets for school out.
Took large drink of water.
Toss. Turn. Throw blankets and pillows on floor.
Gave up, grabbed my phone and browsed Facebook. Then took to Twitter due to lack of excitement on FB. Twitter is always my late night, can't sleep, have nothing else to do guilty pleasure.
Twitter failed to work for me last night. Put phone down. Rolled over. It is now 12:22am
What's the weather going to be like tomorrow?
Crap! Forgot to take my makeup off... Forget it. I can go one day with forgetting.
Wonder why Dr. Pepper makes me poo. (Yes, folks. I learned that this week. Lol)
Thought about texting Beth and telling her happy birthday, decided it was too late. Which then lead to me thinking about what to get her for Karson. She's only got five weeks left! :)
Toss. Turn. Grab pillows from floor.
Then lead to thoughts of another great friend and wishing she'd find out what she's having already!
Christmas is coming quickly. Probably won't be able to afford a tree this year. The tree really isn't a problem I suppose, it's the lights, and decorations too among gifts that still need to be purchased.
Tell myself not to worry because the kiddos won't even notice!
Toss. Turn. Turn pillows to cold side.
Did I unplug the laptop and glade freshener before I went to bed?
Decide I really need to wax my snatch, va- jay- jay, monkey cage, twat, who- ha. I'll stick with snatch.
Giggled because Jonathan said "Watch this. *mumbles some nonsense* Yeah, with the bolts." Wondered what the hell he was dreaming about.
Thought about what to make for dinner this week, which coincidentally lead to "Shit! I need to go grocery shopping."
I need to polish my nails.
Need to finish my homework. Ugh!
Wish I could go to sleep.
It's 1:04am
I feel my boob (Yes, I do that to get comfortable, especially when reading. Lol) and think, "Hey. I got really nice boobs."
Roll over onto stomach. It's always the best position when trying to sleep.
Next thing I remember... Waking up... Tired! Going to be a long day...
How was your night?
P.S.
To answer your text last night Joshua, yes, I was awake, unfortunately. I keep my texts silenced at night so I don't have to bother waking at 3am to get a friggin forward! Was there something you needed?
Love and well rested wishes
