I swear… I already had trouble falling asleep tonight… So I didn’t get to bed til 130am. Bad bad bad… I know. But see, earlier this evening, I smelled smoke when I got out of the shower. Now… it turned out to be coming from outside, there was a bad fire in town earlier today, so the residual smoke was working it’s way into my house via the air vents and leaky windows. Anyway, the whole smoke thing freaked me out enough to get my adrenaline pumping, so it took a while before I was clam enough to try to get to sleep. Then, just as I’m drifting off, BigBoy comes in, claiming a bad dream. Get him back to bed. Lay down. BigBoy runs in again. Pull him into bed with me, and spend an agonizing 20-30 minutes with him tossing, turning, kickin’ me, and tickling my knees with his toes. Tell him twice, “Go to sleep or go to your bed.” Finally, he’s ready for his own bed. Thank the good Lord.
It’s now 230am. Get him in his bed, get back to mine, and start to toss and turn…. Just as I’m drifting off at about 245am, thePinkDiva yells. Now she has had a bad dream. Calm her down, and have a mini-breakdown declaring “I just wanna sleep! For the love of all things holy I just wanna go to sleep!” She laughed at me. I go back to my bed.
By now I’m figuring, it’s 3am and I have to be up at 5, well… I can sleep in til 630 if I push it… What the heck is the use of getting 2, 3 hours of sleep? I’ll be useless and grouchy no matter. So I say to myself and God, “Ok. If they wake me up one more time I’ll just go out and work on my computer and down a mt dew and pull an all nighter. But please, I really want some sleep!” Not 5 minutes later, I hear a door slam. Adrenaline Rush!! It’s just tPD going to the bathroom… but now I’m way too freakin’ wired to get to sleep… So here I am at 330am geeking away and rocking out (with my headphones) and trying to get my blogs updated and maybe type some crap that I’ve wanted to type but havn’t had time or energy…
Now I’m wired on a Mt Dew Code Red. Ahhhh!!!! I love mt dew! *S* I don’t get to drink it often because the caffeine wreaks havoc with my kidneys (I’ll have to take a cranberry pill for the next few days)… but I love the stuff!! Although my leg won’t quit bouncing right now… *S* but whateva!! *S* Do the Dew! Woo hooo! Ok… maybe I’m getting a little punch drunk or whateva… but oh well… too late to go to bed now…
A little high on caffeine aren’t we? He He. Hope your day goes well with no sleep. TTYL
