That happens to me but before I fall asleep, then I'm gone....then it's time to actually work on waking up and that takes hours!!
This song you have right now should be banned from the playlist this week. That's just my opinion.
AHhhh....I hate those nights when you can't turn your brain off! I hope that you can survive the next couple weeks and hope I will see you sometime during the festivities!
Is it time for a Jamba or Frogurt????
I hope that your mind finally shut off, that is the worst! I got tired just reading it :) Thanks for getting Olive her milk also, we CAN'T WAIT!!!
You are a really good writer, Gae. I felt so frantic for you while reading that. It reminded me of my pre-Ambien/Ativan life. :) I love you.
