I love sleep but sleep doesn’t love me :(

Sleep and I have a rather love/hate relationship.  I love to sleep and sleep hates letting me. Lizze and I are down two kids tonight and I should be taking full advantage of this time to rest. 

Unfortunately, my brain is working and simply won’t stop thinking about everything I have to worry about.

How messed up is that? I get a break but I can’t get the rest I need to be better able to parent my kids when they get home, inevitably overstimulated.

I’ve thought about just running into the wall, over and over again, until I’m unconscious. However, that would likely cause more problems than its worth. Plus, I’m not a huge fan of stupidity and that would be pretty stupid. 

Alright, I’m going to try one last time to close my eye and drift off to dreamland. 

Wish me luck………

My current technique for getting to sleep is times tables until I’m just thinking about numbers instead of the real world, and then once the numbers start to blur together to think of a peaceful landscape. It’s working quite well but sometimes I get up to to about 23 times tables and then I just get confused 😀
