rainbows and kittens...i swear!

Good morning!!!! Thanks for checking in today.....

Have I told you that I think you're wonderful?
I'm not trying to suck up....really....I think you are!
Have a great day! Here's rainbow that was in my backyard yesterday!



I thought I'd give you something sweet and lovely to look at.....cuz this morning I just want to complain......just for a minute.....I promise.

Ughhhh! I can't sleep!
Blast! this getting old stuff!
I got about 3 hours last night.....!

The worst part is I have a big night planned tonight.....taking the train into the city with a girlfriend....lots of exploring....food....a show....more food....planning on closing the place down....well at least staying as late as the last Metra.

And I'm exhausted already.....

Every night it's the same thing.
I crawl into bed dog tired, tuckered out, outta gas, bushed, spent.....you get the idea....and then I lay there....wide awake for at least an hour.

Then I wake up in the middle of the night because of something.....may be a train....or one of my cats jumping on my head....or Hubby's dream where he is falling and suddenly jerks awake (Dog gone it! I hate that!...then he falls immediately back to sleep while I lay there!)....

And I lay there.....and I lay there....and it takes me over an hour to fall asleep again!

I've tried all sorts of things.
relaxation techniques.....sitting in the hot tub.....reading.....not reading....emptying my mind (ha! that's a good one for someone with ADD!) ....drugs.....

Nothing works.

So I've just resigned myself to this is the way it is....for however long....


Thanks for listening.....here's a cute kitty picture (I don't have any puppy pictures)
Ahhhh....look how cute he is sleeping (I'm just a little jealous)......
Have a super terrific day!

I try to use my sleepless hours as praying time. I usually fall asleep mid prayer.

I think the person above has the right idea. Thank the Lord for the blessing you had today even bad days have blessings. KT

I can so relate to the not sleeping thing. I usually do Bible reading/study or pray. It still may take hours to get back to sleep but at least I have used the time for a good purpose:) I love your blogs- you are a great writer!! Keep them coming:)

Everyone beat me to it! The first thing I do when I realize I'm not going back to sleep is spend time in the Word and in prayer. The house is quiet. No distractions. Some of my best time with the Lord is the middle of the night. Then I get to sleep later in the morning too!
