So here I am....3 AM can't sleep.
Thinking...thinking...thinking...
I'm sitting in the dark with the glow of the laptop bouncing off my scraggly bed hair, wrapped in a blanket, listening to the rain drip out of my full gutters.
Every once in a while I'll hear a kid get up and use the bathroom and I close my laptop and sit very still, hoping they don't wander around the house trying to figure out where I am.
Because that would totally ruin my aloneness and then I'd have to switch back into mommy mode.
There's time enough for that in the morning.
I was thinking maybe I couldn't sleep and there was something I was supposed to pray about but I got nothin.
So I'm wating to get sleepy enough to go back to bed.
Waiting...waiting...waiting.

I remember those days! I wish I had them back!

Try Valerian Root capsules (an herb) for sleep support next time. They have a distinct smell but are effective.
I *hate* it when that happens. There is nothing worse than being stuck wide awake all night. Thank heavens for the internet.
don't take a nap today. trust me.
Hope sleep finally came. I had the same kind of night and read an entire novel. I am sure I will be feeling it later!
I did that the night before last but it was because there was a horrific thunderstorm outside. I could NOT go back to sleep. I paced and tried to check for tornado warnings on the TV and computer but the power kept flickering out. I hope that you were able to get some sleep.
