I’m so tired I can’t hold my eyes open, but I lie in bed awake.\u00a0 Hour after hour.\u00a0 Bubby is purring next to me, under the blanket.\u00a0 I can’t relax completely because I know that if I move, he’ll scratch me.<\/p>\n
George is snoring on the other side of the bed and I’m jealous.\u00a0 Any time, anywhere, he’s out like a light.<\/p>\n
So unfair.<\/p>\n
I shift my body ever so carefully.\u00a0 Phew.\u00a0 Did it without a scratch.<\/p>\n
In the morning I have to remember to take Prince to Paw Pals to board for the night so he won’t bark his head off while George and I go out for the evening.\u00a0 Crazy dog.<\/p>\n
I wonder what news Jen wants to break to us this weekend.\u00a0 God, please help her to feel better.\u00a0 Pregnancy is hard.<\/p>\n
Why won’t she tell me her news now?\u00a0 Are they moving?\u00a0 Having twins?\u00a0 Triplets?<\/p>\n
What to have for dinner tomorrow night\u2026.\u00a0 Oh, that’s right\u2026we’re going out\u2026.<\/p>\n
Has anyone read the story I just posted on my blog?<\/p>\n
It’s midnight already.\u00a0 (Groan)\u00a0 I’ve been in bed two hours.<\/p>\n
Why can’t my feet be still?<\/p>\n
I want to roll over, but, the cat\u2026.<\/p>\n
It’s supposed to snow tonight.\u00a0 It’ll be cold in the morning.\u00a0 What should I wear to work\u2026.never know with this crazy weather.<\/p>\n
I wonder when Chris and Jen will have kids.<\/p>\n
Security cameras are being put up all around my office.\u00a0 If I so much as scratch a boob, someone will see.<\/p>\n
I need to bake some Loveless Caf\u00e9 biscuits before the buttermilk goes bad.<\/p>\n
Baby Hannah is so cute!<\/p>\n
What drawer or closet should I tackle next in my decluttering?<\/p>\n
Could it be restless leg syndrome?<\/p>\n
(Trying to pull down PJ pant leg with other foot.)<\/p>\n
I think Jen wants to have a baby.<\/p>\n
My hair is getting too long.\u00a0 Can’t keep it out of my face.<\/p>\n
I hate sudoku.<\/p>\n
Hope Kip had a good birthday.<\/p>\n
That video with the cows jumping for joy is so fun.<\/p>\n
George went to bed at 8:00 tonight.<\/p>\n
I’m an accountant but don’t like numbers.\u00a0 That’s dumb.<\/p>\n
It’s 1:00am.\u00a0 Already?<\/p>\n
(Moving from side to stomach.\u00a0 Moving Bubby’s foot away from my mouth.)<\/p>\n
Ick!\u00a0 Cat hair in my mouth!<\/p>\n
A pet goat would be so much fun!<\/p>\n
I love the Benjamin Franklin puppet Jen made in grade school.\u00a0 I should take it to work to show Jacqui.<\/p>\n
Amy’s returning my typewriter that she borrowed.\u00a0 George will want to give it to Goodwill.<\/p>\n
I love Ann Patchett’s book.\u00a0 I want to express myself so well.<\/p>\n
Can’t get comfortable (moving from my stomach to my side.)<\/p>\n
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me!<\/i><\/p>\n
God, please comfort Jenna and Jeff after losing baby Stella!\u00a0 I can’t imagine\u2026.And be there for Alta, Steve, and the rest of their sweet family.<\/p>\n
I should get up and read.<\/p>\n
But I want to sleep!<\/p>\n
The clock is chiming the half hour.\u00a0 Is it 1:30? \u00a02:30?\u00a0 3:30?<\/p>\n
Insomnia or ADD?\u00a0 Don’t know.\u00a0 Don’t care. \u00a0Just want sleep.<\/p>\n
Chirrrrpppp.\u00a0 Chirrrrpppp.<\/i><\/p>\n
Not the crickets! \u00a07am already???<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
