Laying in bed last night I couldn't sleep. My mind had started into something we like to call "the hamster wheel." Not familiar? It goes a little something like this.
I should have done another load of laundry before I went to bed. I'm sure it wouldn't sour by morning when I could dry it. I wonder how much water I used just on laundry alone. our utility bill was so high this month. I wonder if it would be better to freeze and put on more layers than to have such a high utility bill, but then again I don't want to be a prisoner in my own home unable to function since it's so cold. I wonder what the temperature is in Rochester right now. they said on the news you should feed your dogs more food in the winter since they have to use more energy to keep warm. I wonder if that is just outside dogs, I don't remember if they said or not. I wonder what it would be like to live in a place where that wasn't the news. The kids sure had fun playing with the dogs tonight. I wonder what it would be like to grow up with a dog. My dog died when I was so little I don't remember much about him & then we got a cat. I think I was afraid of dogs for some reason. More people should like cats...I feel like they are such a hated animal. I wish I would have been a vet, I would have made a good vet and really enjoyed it. I would have liked a career that kept me on my feet throughout the day.
I take a drink of water
I wonder how many times I can fill this up with water before it's unhealthy. Which kind of plastic is it that you shouldn't reuse? I'm sure it's only a matter of time before it's any type of plastic they will say is bad...we just don't know it yet....
Maybe I can't sleep because of that light on the VCR.
"John...I can't sleep"
"why?"
"maybe it's because of the light on the VCR"
"why?"
"i don't know, because it's kinda bright and I need it totally dark...hand me the remote"
"I can't, it's recording, it has to stay on"
ugh....why do we have to watch so much tv? shouldn't we be doing better things with our time like playing outside or exercising. I should start training for the nashville half marathon...I've got to do something to exercise more. The neighbors are training. I bet they think I'm a vampire or something since they always see John & never bump into me. oh Edward. :) I wish I was a vampire right now and didn't require sleep because this lack of it I'm getting tomorrow is really going to ruin my day. Although I do love food. I wonder what I'll make for dinner Th. night. K&M will need a baked potatoes & some veges. for the Daniel diet. I wonder if there are certain foods I should avoid since A is breastfeeding. I was thinking poppy-seed chicken, but can you have poppyseeds when you are breastfeeding? Doesn't it make you not pass drug tests? That can't be good for a baby right? Wait, maybe on mythbusters they said that wasn't true...

"John...i really can't sleep"
"why"
"I think it's because I can't stop thinking..my brain is going crazy and I can't turn it off, but I'm really tired"
"what are you thinking about?"
Oh...you will be sorry you asked that & I continue into all the things running through my mind like a crazy lady.....a few minutes of silence pass
"now I can't sleep!"
"really!? why?"
"all your chatting has got me thinking too"
"really!? what are you thinking about?"
"hunting tomorrow...."
"man... that must be rough!"
"I just can't get comfortable" as he slings his body around pushing and pulling covers.
I rub his back for about 60 seconds before I hear the snores start....ahhh, the sweet bliss of a man's less complexed mind. If we could only be so lucky!
Sweet dreams,
Lisa

Haha. Awesome!! You did a good job portraying the "hamster wheel." BTW - been kind of concerned about the plastic thing myself. I've been drinking out of this gatorade bottle for like...oh I don't know....6 months?? Or longer??? Yeah, that can't be good. Oh well...as you so eloquently put it one time, "EVERYTHING gives you cancer!!" (Remember that??!) :)
hahahahaha...that was too funny!! We have all been there :)
That was funny! I think you captured every woman's hamster wheel and therefore I totally get why people drink themselves to sleep! Sad we missed dinner last night. Sunday's are hard in this line of work. Oh, and could you send me your new mailing address?
That was so funny. I can't tell you how many nights I've gotten mad just watching Edward sleep peacefully while I've worried and thought about everything.
Loved our dinner. We had such a good evening.
