Meh

I haven't slept well in a week.

Hubby watched a scary movie and we've slept with the lamp on for days. Ugh. I'm not saying it didn't freak me out (I should follow my own advice - no horror movies!), but I can definitely sleep with just the night light (like usual).

Parker is doing her best to wake me up right as the sun comes up, and since I'm a light sleeper whenever Stu gets to bed I wake up, but it takes me another hour to go back to sleep.

My mom said manual labor makes you sleep better. Does anybody have some firewood they need chopped and stacked?!

I have no one to blame for my lack of sleepy, it just kind of...sucks. I'm exhausted and then I have to be at work all day and then I come home and the house is a mess and I just feel like laying on the couch and sobbing. Which might happen tonight. I don't know.

Anyway, I'm considering taking melatonin (I have a healthy fear of sleep aids)...caffeine will make me sleep too long, and as far as I can tell, exercise is the only form of "manual labor" I'm going to get right now (other than washing dishes, but those are ALMOST DONE!), so...have any of you taken melatonin? Something else to help you sleep?

I think part of why I don't sleep during the week is because I'm staring at a computer all day...I try to stay off it at home/during the weekends, but I want to play with my new Bamboo, so I've been playing with that some.

It's just several things that are keeping me from sleeping. I need to eliminate as many as possible. Maybe a night or two on the couch will help?

Meh.

How did I get this old already?
