"Sleepless in Prudenville"

Yep, I've been tossing and turning all night and finally got out of bed at 4am!! Did the dishes, cleaned the bathroom, took out the trash, fed the cat, etc.... Now here I am . And I have to be at work at 8am! Oh well...what do you do when your mind just won't shut off? I think it's because I work in elections primarily, and of course these past few weeks I've been on fast forward with absentee ballots, scheduling, verifying, etc., right up to my 15 hr. day Tuesday. (Let's all say "Wahhhh" and have a pitty party for Theresa) But now that it's over, I'm thinking I can get back to my regular 8 hours of sleep a night! So anyway....anyone out there in OH - Land awake and bored ????? I would guess not! You probably are all like I wish I was! Well all, have a great day and see you in the daylight! Hugs, Theresa 100, 99, 98, 97, 96 ......

I've had that happen to me several times of late, so I hear ya loud and clear!! It happened to me yesterday morning and I think I finally got tired at 6am and slept about 2 hours. Then I dreaded getting up because I knew I had to go and get my blood drawn - not that I dreaded the drawing, just getting up!! I too get bored quickly and am afraid of eating when I really don't need too........

Well, there IS somebody else up!! Hope you're not having trouble sleeping Rhonda, and that you're up cuz you want to be! I'm gonna hop in the shower and see if that revives me to get this day started. It's almost 7am now. Just finished writing some correspondence, etc., so at least I get ALOT done this morning when I couldn't sleep! I haven't eaten anything yet today, but I've downed almost 32 oz. of crystal light!! That's good for me, as of late! So I have a good start... Now it's off to work, and rather than being able to sit at my desk and vegg out in a sleepless stupor, today we are moving all of our computers, printers, desks, bookcases, files, etc. to have new carpeting laid! At least I won't have to concentrate on anything important! The new carpeting will be so nice...we need it badly, but boy, am I going to be a busy little bee today (I have this song running through my head: ..."Life in the fastlane, just about to lose my mind. Life in the fastlane, ahuh....Life in the fastlane, everything, all the time...Life in the fastlane, ahuh...." (Then of course a great guitar lead follows!) KP, can ya guess the song???? Anyway Rhonda...sorry I got off track! Have a great day and thanks for responding to this nutcase! Theresa

If someone were to say I don't work, I'd probably give them a swift kick somewhere important! Granted, I don't have a job, but when the parents are in TN, I'm the one who gets ALL of the responsibilities!! I'm going this morning to see my psychologist at 9am and this should be interesting! Then I might do some things that need to be done for ME!! No, I don't feel that you were getting off track - just saying what was rambling thru your mind! Some times we need to do that, and it helps us! FYI - you may be nutty at times, but you are NOT a nutcase!!

Hi Theresa, Good job on the crystal light!! I've been sleepless a lot lately, there's too much running through my mind .....i've just been worried about a lot lately. My pcp gave me a low dose of some kind of anxiety medicine that he said is non addictive and has shown to relax and put you to sleep . I haven't tried it yet, but will let you know how it is. With all you're doing today, you should be able to sleep tonight. Hugs Linda

when i'm like that i google every little stupid thing i'm curious about. it gets out of hand sometimes and i learn way too much trivia.

My goodness woman, I hadn't even turned over yet at that time! But you know, I get the same way when I can't shut my brain off. Hope you get some sleep tonight! Looking forward to meeting Toni and her group this Saturday w/ Dr. DiNick. I know they will be as wonderful as your group. Take care, Carey

Hey Theresa, I hope you're sleeping beter tonight. Lord knows I'm not lol God bless, Annette
