I Need Sleep!
I've been staying up late these past couple of nights and today the lack of sleep hit me hard. All day I was yawning and closing my eyes. I was so grumpy towards Audrey ... any amount of noise she made I scolded her for when in all reality I was being uber sensitive.
Yet, with all my sleepiness, here I am and the clock on my computer says the time is nearing midnight and I am still awake. I originally laid down at 11pm, but my brain kept thinking new ideas or reviewing old events. My body was tired and craving sleep, but my thoughts wouldn't allow rest. I wish I were one of those people that could lay their head down and in an instant be asleep. That is never the case with me. The only time I am ever able to crash is after a long flight either to or from Alaska. I cannot sleep on flights, so by the time the 8 hours of confinement are through I am ready to instantly be in dreamland.
Speaking of dreamland ... my son did the cutest thing this morning. After his 6am feeding I laid in bed with him to better lure him back to sleep. As I held him in my arms I suddenly heard him start giggling which was then followed by an "Ah goo." Cole was definitely asleep during his sounds. I nearly giggled myself at how adorable he was. He must of been dreaming about me. :)
Just a side note on a totally different topic, but I wonder if Barak Obama ever gets sick of his supporters chanting "Yes, We Can!" over and over. I was watching his victory speech tonight and the man was interrupted so many times by the crowd reciting the phrase that I half expected him to yell back, "Shut the hell up ... I'm talking here!"
