Ok so maybe they're not completely sleepless...They just feel like that when I try to get up in the morning.
These nights start off alright. I'm laying in bed, closing my eyes, rolling over...so far so good.
Then all of the sudden my mind is flooded with a bunch of tasks that need to be done the next day...
Oh no! Maybe I can't drive those people to the lake on Sunday, I might have another commitment! But I can't check that until tomorrow morning at work...
Oh no! I can't remember what I needed to bring to work tomorrow for our Jr. Church project! Maybe it'll come to me...nope, oh well...
Oh no! My Mom and brother's birthday is this week! I need to remember to get them a cake!
Oh no! I don't think I have anything to wear tomorrow morning, well, yes I do, it'll just take a bit of time in the morning to put something together.
Oh no! It's already 11:30pm! I can't get my full 8 hours of sleep!
Ok, ok Jess. Stop worrying, things will be alright, God is with you. It's time to just close your eyes and relax...some more rolling over happens...
It's not working! Ok, new strategy...think about those boring sheep who can't jump over that white picket fence...
And all of the sudden I am waking up to my alarm, feeling like a dead weight, but having to drag myself out of bed anyways.
I have no idea how this all happens but so far a possible pattern could be eating and/or exercising less than 2 hours before bed...if that's the case, tonight is going to be another one of those "sleepless" nights...*yawn*.
