For a week now, I have been so tired, I am falling asleep really early, and then I can't sleep and I toss and turn and then I wake up super early.

It becomes a really good week when it also contains friends, music and beer.

This week contained chocolate (courtesy of my children - Jazzy girl picked out the JB Chili Lime Caramel, which was perfect), music (singing with u_must_b_joking and Paul) and beer (which was really a beer/apple cider blend ( Read more... )
