I was really tired and exhausted last night.

Wanna guess when I fell asleep last night? During Criminal Minds? No... During the 10:00 news? Nope.

During Hannity & Colmes? Nope..not then either.

During Red Eye? (on FoxNews at 2am CST) Nope.

It was somewhere around 445am...and then I woke up at 530am because my dad dropped something on the floor upstairs.

I finally dropped off to sleep again about 630am.

only to be woken up again at 8am when Shared Solutions called to harrass me about getting a new box of C (I'm trying to catch up there, I've been 2 boxes behind since the beginning because my injection nurse waited 2 months to call me before I got trained) I told them to call me back in 2 or 3 weeks, and to please not call me before noon.

I kept waking up about every half hour to an hour.

I'm starting to wonder if insomnia can be caused by a brain lesion or something.

I. am. so. tired. tonight...and I STILL cant sleep!!!!

It's kind of according to who I am around. When I'm with my kids and husband I try to be very honest. They would know anyway. But my Mom is different. Sometimes I have to be overly peppy or she will drive me crazy with questions about how I'm doing. But then she'll call me and the minute she hears my voice she can tell how I'm feeling. Somehow she just knows. Now my Mother in law is the opposite. I don't think she has any clue what it wrong with me. She has a hx of paronoid schyxophrrnia but is well controlled. Way back in the 60's she had a good bit of shock therapy which I think took away some of her brain cells. But unless I really look or act like I'm not feeling well she thinks I can move the world to take care of her. So sometimes I over excagerate.

Oh the insomnia. I think it must be contagious. I din't sleep at all last night, finally got up at 6 AM. Did you know there is actually TV on at that time? But here it is 11:30 PM and I am in my usual wakeful state that is between 7 PM and 1 AM every day. It doens't matter if I didn't sleep any the night before or not.

For trying to explain the wall, I wish I could have a copy of a scene from "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" with Johnny Depp. It's the one where Willy Wonka is talking to Charlie at his shoe shine job. Willy runs into the wonkavator that you didn't see was there.

It's been hard learning where that line is. It moves everyday, so sometimes I know it's coming - sometimes I don't. Definitely learning to listen to my body. It knows things better than my brain does, LOL.

si, si, Senora!

this morning, I felt my eyelids growing heavy... and my head starting to nod and droop.

looked at the clock, and it's only 9:30 am!

how can that BE?

oh yeah... it must be 'cause I woke UP at 3:30am.

so, I'd been up for the usual SIX hours already, and my BODY knew it!

usually, I get up around 6, and nappy at noonish.

some days, TWO naps... sometimes my body only needs an hour.

yesterday my nap was *four* hours... (which goes a long way toward explaining WHY I woke up before DAWN today, eh?)

oh, and Finny?

it's ALL completely and totally YOUR fault that I'm now singing Olivia Newton John!

'cause you mentioned listening to your body.



Kay wanders off, muttering under breath and singing:

Let me hear your body talk... your body talk... Let me hear your body talk.

ahhhh!!! I cant get that song out of my head now!! *banging head on desk to make the music change*

Last week I had "Waltzing Matilda" going thru my head all the time. (and I'm American, not Australian) That's actually a cool song and much better than having an Olivia Newton-John song drive me nuts.

I found a new theme song for MSers. It's by Weird Al Yankovich. It's a duet with him and Kate Winslet (yes, THE Kate Winslet from The Titanic...she should stick to acting)


The name of the song is "I Need A Nap".

My boyfriend gave me a copy that he bought off of Napster. He told me that when he heard it, he thought of me.

Just now getting back to you.... so sorry about your lack of sleep. How have things been the last few days?
