Well I'm dealing with my good old insomnia right now so instead of laying in bed for another hour I figure I'd get one thought off my nagging mind of things i want to get done-updating my blog. Tomorrow morning I will once again drag my sleeping body out of bed as Terry leaves to go teach so that Ian doesn't chase him out of the house. Somehow manage to make some coffee with my eyes glued shut. Turn on Sesame Street and get breakfast ready for Ian, then watch him as he once again doesn't eat it. Then I'll have to wake Heidi up just in time to rush Ian to preschool. Rush home, give her some breakfast, lather on the sunscreen and make it out the door by 8:31 to meet my friends for our 8:30 walk. I'm wide awake the next 1 and 1/2 hours but afterwards I crash again. If I just keep moving I seem to stay awake but if I stop then I feel like I'm going to fall asleep. Basically all day long I am ready to sleep. I hope for the days the kids actually nap at the same time and I can get a quick nap in, but then I feel the guilt that I have so much that needs to be done and the most efficient time is when they are sleeping, especially Heidi who likes to cling to my leg nonstop. I am so scatterbrained all day becasue my mind is so tired that I don't get much accomplished, then just like clockwork I put the kids to bed at 8 pm and "presto" I am wide awake. And here I sit at 11:30 pm. Why oh why can't I sleep?
Well enough of my rambling. Maybe if I vent I can free my mind of something and get to sleep. Here are some pictures of Ian and Heidi at Poway Lake a few weeks ago. We were there for an outdoor concert where the kids had a blast running around, dancing, and rolling in the grass. It was one of those beautiful summer evenings.
