Because I seem to have caught an insomnia bug, I’ve had a hard time falling asleep at night. That makes things a little fuzzy in the morning because the kids are up and ready to go. No rest for the weary.

This morning I fell asleep sometime after 2a.m. which is earlier than I have been. No caffiene keeping me up. No worries, troubles or concerns. Just can’t sleep. Annoying. hmph! I think my body may have learned this from when we were all so sick with the stomach flu. For the whole week combined, I slept a total of probably no more than 10 hrs. Then came the trip to California with the 2hr time change and coming back to our time zone.  Hopefully this will remedy itself soon. If not, I may have to explore other options.

Well, last night J.C. fell asleep right in the middle of the living room floor once I brought him in from the truck where he fell asleep on our way home from the store. It was 8pm, but I figured his nap wouldn’t be long because the other kids were so noisy. Wrong. Even when I moved him to the couch he stayed asleep. He stirred a couple times, but didn’t wake. Then, when it came time for the others to go to bed, I moved him to his bed. I changed his diaper which he briefly woke for. I thought for sure he’d be up for a while. Wrong. Rolled over and went back to sleep. I assumed I’d have an early morning, but sure didn’t plan on 3:41a.m. Yep. He’s wide awake after a nice restful sleep. (must be nice to be a baby. lol) He insisted on..I mean..requested chocolate milk. I tried convincing him to wait, but that brought about crying. I didn’t want to risk the others being waken so I dutifully served him. He is now playing with cars on his mat while watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse dvr’d shows. We have mass in about 3 1/2 hrs. so I’ll just get stuff ready. Later this afternoon, hubby and I are going to see GuitarGirl in a Vive Les Arts production of All Shook Up while our kids go play at her house. Looking forward to it as it’s supposed to be a really good show and it’s the first one I’ve had a chance to see her in.

Aside from all that… Why are all the ants moving in to my house?  Really.  I’m tired of being bitten.    Oh yeah.. Hubby put pest control stuff outside last week but forgot to spray inside as he usually does.  I just remembered he mentioned that the other day. Note to self: remind hubby to spray inside.

For those that had prayer request in the last couple days, please know that I am offering prayers up for your needs.  Of course there are others that have long-term needs, I’m still praying for those needs as well. Especially healing of baby Matthew’s heart.  May you all feel God’s loving arms around you.  God bless!
