Insomnia doesn't work well for me. I finally fell asleep sometime after 3am, only to wake up before 6am. Whyyyy? It leaves me feeling like a zombie, only I crave coffee instead of brains.
Apparently yesterday was Paula Abdul Day at the gym. I was there long enough for two rotations through the same CD! Lucky me. The day before that? Happy Hardcore Horror Day: I heard Alphaville's Forever Young turned into a kicky, bubble-gum, poplicious song. Also? The song from The Neverending Story redone at 180 BPM. Eeep. This is my punishment for neglecting to bring earbuds.
We're still trying to get back into routine now that we're back from Santa Fe, but it's slow going. I've been busy scheduling all of our summer activities, appointments and such-- suddenly the calendar is full through mid-August. I have to remember to take one day at a time, because if I look at the whole summer I get overwhelmed in a hurry.
One of the activities we're doing is a weekly story and crafts time at our local library. It's absolute chaos and I'd like to never, ever go back again... but the kids love it. So I guess we'll keep going (grumble). Max has joined the summer reading club (I know! He's reading! For real!) and if he logs ten hours, he'll get a prize. It makes me go all gooshy inside when he reads to Khai-- but I can't let him know that or he might stop doing it.
I'm running about a month behind on photos for the boys' gallery, but if sleep continues to elude me then I'll have them posted within a week. I'm behind on so many things that really, I don't think I'll ever catch up, sleep or no sleep.
kids,
insomnia,
