Forgive me if the following seems incoherent, I am working on very little sleep these days. Actually it started about eleven and a half years ago when I got married....just kidding. Seriously though, the past few nights I have not been able to sleep! I am totally exhausted, but as soon as my head hits the pillow I am tired but not sleepy and I can't seem to do anything to remedy it. Matt says I need to find my "off button", but at my age if I haven't been able to find it yet I probably never will. Which leads me to my next question, why is it that guys seem to be able to fall asleep as soon as their head hits the pillow? It is so frustrating, and admittedly it makes me a little jealous. While I am laying there pondering summer plans, budget worries, fire escape routes, homosexual marriage, and frustrating new cell phone laws, my darling husband is snoring next to me. How rude! And I know that if by some miracle I am able to fall asleep, my kids are going to end up getting up at night and needing something.
So, if you have any suggestions for getting a better nights sleep let me know. However, please take note of the following:
Warm milk - yuck, gag. Hard to fall asleep when I am throwing up warm milk. Nasty! I would rather be awake for the next ten years.
Exercise - if running around after my kids all day isn't exercise than I don't know what is. I have tried going on long walks in the evening, but it actually wakes me up more than makes me sleepy.
Taking a shower - this kind of works, but lately I am too tired to think about taking a shower at night. And I have to take one every morning or I feel gross and greasy all day, so if I have to take one at night too then I know I am just going to sit in bed and worry about my quickly climbing water bill.
Hitting myself on the head with a large blunt object - I am totally open to this, but for some reason Matt objects.
