There's only one way to stop a MAD WATCH. -- The March Hare

Oh boy--so over an hour ago, I was tucked away quietly in my bed. I had on my Zen-ish music which has succeeded in lulling my stressed self to sleep ever so peacefully the last few nights. It's been great. Well, tonight nope. It didn't work. I've tried it all! The nice music, the deep breathing, happy thoughts, counting sheep. I got nothin'! The MAD WATCH that is quickly counting down these few hours I have to sleep is racing by me and somehow I feel like the joke is on me.



And that is just not right! Dangit! So, here I am. One a.m. Wide awake. Suffering from that icky, I can't sleep, but I'm exhausted feeling that makes your body kinda tingle everywhere. Why? Why does this always happen when I'm at my most tired and craving sleep like . . . sigh, a piece of Godiva chocolate cheesecake maybe?




Mmmmmmm, I think I'm starting to drool on my keyboard (don't judge me, I know you are too). Maybe I should count cheesecake instead of sheep. At this point I am willing to try just about anything! I don't even care if my dream reality self gets bigger hips from counting cheesecake. Seriously, you know it's bad when you are willing to give up your perfect dream bod to get some Zzz's. But . . .



Yeah, I feel a lot like this guy. I really hope that this doesn't become a consistent problem. Pray this is an isolated incident or things could get ugly. I may have to take more desperate measures to get myself to sleep, and I have never really considered myself a desperate, irrational person. But hey, crazier things have happened, right? I mean there is only ONE way to stop a MAD WATCH!





Alright my sleeping beauties, I love you all. (Tangent- I gave up on the relaxing tunes, I am now listening to Any Way You Want It by Journey. Gotta love Journey). Okay, it's back to bed, deep breathing, and counting for me. Thanks for listing to my late night rant.

XOXO

  1. Ah, bummer... those nights are the WORST :( Maybe some hot cocoa before you go to bed? Hmmm... and a Tylenol PM? xoxoxo

  2. They really are terrible! But I'm determined to work through the day without a much needed nap so I am completely wiped out tonight. However, I may take a tylenol for good measure. xoxox.

  3. Next time that happens, let's get the godiva cheesecake together okay? I had that last night and it was awful. The not-being-able-to-sleep thing, not the cake. Obviously.
