The Tale of the Sleepless Night….
October 2, 2006
Soo…I had the hardest time falling asleep last night, I took a nice relaxing bath, I did some meditation that always helps…but no sleep.
Ok, I just use this free time to knit- right? So I knit until I feel like I am going to drop off, snuggle in bed and go to sl….no I am restless. I get up and check the locks, tuck in the kids again. Lie down in bed to read….I get very sleepy..but still, no sleep. It is around 1:30am…I am in the kitchen eating peaches from a quart jar (wonder why I can’t lose weight? now we all know) when I get that feeling! That run, check now! That deer in the headlights! I run to the bathroom just in time to see my candle sputter and drip and almost catch the shower curtain on fire!!!
The morals to this story are:
1. When you are restless, worried, say I little prayer for direction…this works better than knitting and peaches.
2. When you relax in the bathtub, don’t forget to blow out the candle….D’oh!

Nice save! I wish I could offer you the magic cure for your sleepless night, but I’m yawning a bit this morning myself. Something about a little one learning to crawl who suddenly needs A LOT more fuel in the middle of the night to support the physical effort by day? I just keep telling myself this, too, shall pass!
Sweet dreams!!!

I am just the worst..we should talk when you can’t sleep..I could put ya to sleep..haha. I hardly ever manage to get to bed before 1am. and I really really NEED to be getting more sleep.
I am so glad you used your woman’s intuition and made the candle save..yikes!!
