I wish I was sleeping

I hate these nights, the ones when I’m completely wiped out and can’t sleep.  I doze off for a second and as soon as the feeling of sleepy bliss starts to set in, I wake up.  I drank so much water today (my new habit, sort of, just started it, we’ll see how it goes) that I didn’t even want a cup of coffee this evening.  The funny thing is, I drink one almost every night around 10pm and have no trouble sleeping.  Maybe it’s a withdrawal, yeah, that’s it.

The moon is gorgeous tonight, a very round and almost full and cream colored wafer in the sky.  It’s got the house illuminated in that creepy glow that somehow points out all the stuff sitting around that shouldn’t be out…so at least I have my to do list for tomorrow done.  Does that count as an upside?

“Who Moved My Cheese?”

Does anyone remember that book?  I never read it because I thought it didn’t apply to me.  I thought I was impulsive (which I am, but only when shopping), didn’t mind change (which I don’t, as long as it’s the kind in the bottom of my purse), and liked to be foot loose and fancy free (which I’m not anymore).

SO much change is in the air and I’m not handling it well.  Not just with us but FIL moving too….I don’t know why it bothers me so much, I guess I just hate the thought of all of us being so spread out.

So, I’m off to the library to get the book and figure out how to get my cheese back.
