Frustrating Night, Frustrating Morning

It is only 9:20am and it is already one of THOSE days. Started off with a bad night, and sadly I have no one to blame but myself. I have been waiting forever for September camping reservations to be open since Matt is so booked the rest of summer, and I knew they went on sale on March 1st. So, despite the fact that I was tired and ready for bed at 9:00, I waited up until midnight to try and get reservations. Being the dork that I am, I didn't check the website earlier to find out that they actually don't open reservations until 8:00am. That was the beginning of my bad night.
I have always had nightmares. They occur all too frequently in my opinion, and there is problem some explanation that involves me being insane so I try not to think about it too much. Last night after waking up from a nightmare, I had an amazingly acute realization. The only nightmares that I have had that involve my kids all have to do with Kendall. There have been 3, all incredibly vivid and unfortunately memorable, all about her. What does THAT mean? I wish I had an answer for you, and considering I couldn't go back to sleep forever because I was thinking about it you would think that I could have come up with something. To top it off, after I finally managed to get back to sleep I was awakened to Camden screaming like someone cut his foot off only to find him upset because his blankets were messed up. Aahhhhh!
So, after my wonderfully non-restful evening, I plopped myself in front of the computer at 7:45 to again attempt some camping reservations. Apparently there is a trick to this that I am not aware of because despite the fact that some of September was already booked even before 8:00 I couldn't make a reservation until 8:01, when practically everything was taken. I ended up with 1 night in probably the least favorable campsite on all of the west coast. I think I need to hire someone to do this for me next year because there must be some computer trick that I obviously don't know.
Wishing I could go back to bed right now....

I'm so sad about your terrible night on this night! But I'm also really curious about the reservation site. Where are you booking your camping trips??
