Sleep?
i sleep a lot.. probably too much. but i've always needed at LEAST 8 hours a night.
the last few weeks, i've been getting 7-8 a night, and not able to go BACK to sleep but then feel really tired in the afternoon, or earlier in the evening the next night.
last night i was really sleepy. well for one thing - aunt flo is supposed to show up ANY TIME NOW... and hasn't.. so i'm crabby and tired because of hormones in general.
so last night about 8:30, bri & i got done watching the previously recorded thanks to DVR episode of Jericho, and went to the bedroom alone cuz the kids were actually entertained by a DVD downstairs...
i decided about 9:15 that i wasn't movin - just gonna go right to sleep - and brian, since he was WIDE awake - was gonna watch the kids.
so we did that - he left the room and i slept hard. till 4 am. when my elder daughter comes into the bedroom. "I'm scared!" she says. i told her to go back to her room, turn her pillow over for better dreams (heard that trick on TV, and it works to get 'em back to bed!) and go back to sleep.
brian wasn't there.
hmmm... i assume he's asleep on the couch downstairs, which is where he spends plenty of weekend nights.
he comes into the bedroom about 10 mins after beth left - i assumed she'd woken him up too. Nope. he'd been out on a fire-run. turns out a couple of 16/17 year old males decided to take daddy's buick for a joy ride. at the high school. on the administrative office's lawn. but there's a catch. a big one - about a 2 foot rock ledge that they failed to see. so they beached daddy's buick. and then the car started smoking so they called 911. turns out that the car wasn't on fire - it was the exhaust just steaming on the ground because the ground is saturated with water. but then daddy showed up and saw his beached buick. and let's just say that the firefighters sat back and smirked at the boys when they heard daddy yell obscenities and words like "boot camp" and "boarding school" .
so brian is awake at 4 AM - and i'm awake at 4 AM, but soon he starts snoring. only i can't. so i come to the computer. and am awake till 6 am. when i finally decide to TRY to go back to sleep. go back to bed and cant get back to sleep - till about 6:30 i think. then i did sleep a couple more hours.
i was really honestly just trying to catch a few more zzzzz's to make up for losing the hour tonite with dst kickin in 3 weeks early.
uh-huh. that's it. that's my story & i'm stickin to it. ;)
off today to take beth to a girl scout cookie booth (where we sit outside of walgreens and try to sell G.S. cookies to unsuspecting customers) - and then to gymnastics for her first time :)
fun fun.
