I.can.not.sleep...!!!




Why?

Could it be because...

  • School opens in 30 hours and I have about that many hours work to do just to make that happen...?


  • I can't sleep knowing I have all that work to do, and the more I think about it the more awake I stay?



  • Which doesn't help, of course, because I'm not getting any work done right now and I'm going to be worthless if I don't fugging get some sleep!!!!


  • My girl moves to SD on Friday?




  • I've been more busy than I've ever been with work and haven't had the time to do the little extras that I so wanted to do before she moves.


  • Which is why I didn't work as late as I wanted to.... when she called and asked when I'd be home? And so we watched a movie and ate popcorn and m&m's.


  • Don's car is in the shop that requires more money than we should put into it, yet we can't swing a new car?

  • Daughter's car wouldn't start the other day and we have 3 days to get it to her favorite mechanic?


  • My check engine light came on today?


  • Ends weren't meeting before the cars took a crap?


  • I have more medical appts than I care to count in the coming weeks?


  • Don's having some unusual symptoms relating to his new meds?


  • My friends have loved ones dealing with important medical issues now? (((L))) (((M)))


  • Did I mention we're moving my daughter down on Friday?

  • I'm feeling sick to my stomach? again.


  • My daughter is moving on Friday? (If only she were more excited, rather than sad and nervous.) (I know it's great. I am so very happy for her and proud of her. But, it is still an emotional time.) (That's just how we are. okay??)


  • Even later now. Will I function tomorrow?

  • All of the above?

If I had sleeping pills, I'd have taken one (four) hours ago. (four meaning four pills, not four hours ago. well maybe four pills four hours ago)

sighhh....

Guess I'll head up and stare at the ceiling. Or out the window. I'll probably just doze off as the alarm sounds............

Wow, that is a LOT to think about!! I've been having a lot of trouble sleeping lately too--why is it so very hard to shut off our brains! Good luck with the girl and the move--I totally understand that feeling of nervousness and fear, even when you know what you're doing is right, and even exciting. Hope you got some sleep eventually!!

Mmm.. m&ms in popcorn! mel, you haven't lived!! sweet and salty!! :)

that is a lot to think about and soon a lot of those things will be ticked off your list and you'll be back to sleeping, I promise. Until then, though, I'd say you probably had more than one day without sleep.

Today's moving day so I'm sure you won't read this... don't forget that she's not that far away...

As for all the other stuff, I'm sending positive thoughts and vibes your way on the car issues, the money issues, the health issues and the sleep issues. Big hugs to you and yours....

I hope you've been able to get some sleep by now and I hope that D's medication issue gets worked out.

Getting old is a bitch, isn't it? I've made a firm conviction of that sentiment this year.

Oh and popcorn and m&m's sounds like heaven.

I'm thinking of you, sweet friend.
