Sleepless in Seattle

1. Is it age catching up with me?
2. Is it the shoe box of an apartment I'm living in right now? My kids purring away, my kids fighting in the weeee hours of the morning. The A/C kicking on 5 feet from my bed. The refridgerator doing its thing. Or maybe the lights from outside glowing this room.
3. Is it the anxiety of being away from my baby? June 15th was one year, off and on with all the traveling.
4. Or is it the crappy bed I sleep on here? Let me put it this way: remember those horrible dorm beds in college? Well, this makes that look like a Luxury Sleeper.

Whatever it is... I'm sick of waking up everyday between 5:30am and 7:00am, regardless of when I go to sleep.

I had a hard time falling alseep last night. Usually I'm out like a light 5 minutes after I turn the light out. But, last night I was twisting & turning, not thinking about anything major.

My eyes open, gotta go pee, then can't go back to sleep. The sun's not even up yet!

Well, I'm closer to getting outta this shoebox. I'm closer to sleeping in a new bed that we bought a couple of weeks ago and closer to being with my baby.

And, no, the kids won't be sleeping with us anymore, at least not on a regular basis. My sanity is more important. Besides, they will have a larger place to explore. They can wander the pooldeck while we sleep.

Time for some coffee, and another smoke.
