It's 4 am do you know where your kids are????

Oh yeah, I know where mine our. My oldest is downstairs sleeping away in HIS OWN BED, my baby boy is downstairs sleeping away in HIS OWN BED....where is my middle child you ask? Oh yeah, laying right beside me snoring away, and on the other side of him lays my darling husband, oh yeah, snoring away. Aren't I the luckiest girl in the world?

It never fails, I get woken up in the middle of the night, no matter what time, or what wakes me up and I can not fall back asleep. No matter how tired I am. I tried laying here for the last hour almost, just tossing and turning and of course my mind going a mile a minute on all the things that I need to do before the realtors come on Monday and Tuesday. Things to add to my to do list below, and things to add to Bruce's list of things to do. Things to have the boys do today when they all wake up, oh I don't know in like 4 hours, if they are lucky.

I hate when I'm so tried that I can't fall asleep. It makes no sense to me how that is even possible. How can my body be so tired, but not my brain. I wish I had an off switch so I could turn off all my thoughts so I'd fall asleep. Because let me tell you I have the wierdest thoughts in the wee hours in the morning. For example, in the past hour I started thinking of why my husband has so many gloves, why does the Army issue so many really? Then I remember, hey we are in the north country that's why. Then the whole glove things makes me think of this movie Serendipity, which has been on cable a lot lately I guess, and they are trying to match a set of gloves throughout the movie finding the love of thier lives...then I go from that movie to Pearl Harbor with Ben Affleck because I'm trying to figure out if the same lady that was in Serendipity was the same woman in Pearl Harbor...then I start playing scenes of the movie in my head...trying to think of the characaters names in the movie....which then makes me think of Hollywood people and thier crazy names for thier children....I'm thinking oh what a pretty name Ben named his daughter...Violet, pretty flower, pretty little girl...then I think why did Madonna name her kids Lourdes and Rocco...then I think why do I care what these people are naming thier children? Why can't I just go to sleep? UGH!!! So I start with a pair of gloves, and end on Hollywood people and thier crazy named children.

Shut my mind off please.....
