Sleeping issues

Me, not my kids. I think I have got it all figured out. I woke up at 4:30 this morning and could NOT go back to sleep. I roll over and look at the clock. My first thought: I didn't get the girls clothes laid out last night. And then it continues... what am I going to wear today? Does Anthony have scrubs that are clean. He should, I did a billion loads of laundry. What I am going to cook for dinner? Do I have to cook dinner? Depends on what time Anthony's basketball game is. What time is it anyway? Should I go look? I contemplate a bit, get up and go look. 7:00pm. Well, he gets home around 6:00. Will he want to eat that close to the game? Maybe something light. Do I have stuff to make a salad? Maybe I should just make sandwiches. Maybe I should tell him to pick something up and I can just eat a lean cuisine. I should go to the gym today. Oh, wait, I can't. I am watching Sofia right after work(our neighbors daughter - mommy just gave birth via c-section yesterday and Sofia is really sad and jealous and wants mommy home) Gosh, I remember driving to the hospital to have Abby. I was crying the entire drive because I was so sad for Ruby. Gosh, Abby is going to be 2 this weekend. I'm kinda sad about it. Is that normal? I really need to get cracking on party stuff. Is it bad that I already have all their stuff for their Easter baskets, but not for the party? O'well, I got it early because Easter is a week before the wedding. I need to call the d.j.! I need to go to the reception place and figure stuff out. I need to get my shoes. I need to get my veil. I need to get the girls shoes. I need to write a list of everything we still need. Do we even have enough money? I guess we can charge a bit - NO - we are trying to buy a house. BTW, has the Realtor even submitted the contract to the Lender? Short sales are not short. Why do they even call them short. What time is it ? 6:30! WTH! What is wrong with me? Why can't I sleep like a normal person? I better just get up. I was late to work yesterday, I should go in early today. I am leaving out a bunch of other unmentionables - don't ask:) As I am getting ready, I had my epiphany... STOP THINKING SO MUCH!

Yoga, try a few classes learn to turn that mind off! Easier said that done I know, believe me. The little white pill works well too!:)

If you figure out how to do stop thinking so much, please teach me!! I agree... there is a pill to help that a few days a week, it helps keep you from going crazy the other days!

When I can't sleep because of too much on my mind, I get up and write down all the things that are worrying me and then get down on my knees and pray and usually cry and read the list to God and then usually I start to feel peaceful. (Or try balancing your checkbook-that always puts me to sleep, too.)

I feel your pain, maybe not as bad, but if I wake up I too think of all those things (except dinner of course)......Who the heck is anonymous, it has to be Anthony, tell him to stay away and go eat his cold spagettios!!! J/K

I am so sorry, but I couldn't stop laughing at your post:) Maybe because it's 2am and I'm up feeding hayley and can't think of anything buy go back to sleep!!

But I do remember having those nights being pregnant. Courts right...fox news, but I would add...eat some cereal or something. A full stomach always put me back to sleep!
