I couldn’t sleep last night, my mom said maybe it is menopause. I could only be that lucky.
I woke up and couldn’t sleep. So I went downstairs and watched a movie on the laptop. I thought I could hear Gentry up in his room playing, or something, and went and sat in his room for a while. He wasn’t and I couldn’t hear it anymore. I guess the house was just settling.
Eventually I fell asleep again around 5, but my alarm started going off at 6. So really no sleep, and the tired is just starting to kick in. I am so tired I am reminded of college all nighters. The ones where you are so tired to kind of feel like throwing up. Do you get that? Just weird throat tired feelings.
Sigh.
I didn’t even have any diet coke yesterday. I don’t know what could have kept me up unless it was pecan pie, which I did eat late. But to my knowledge there are no stimulants in pie. Right?
The other day Gentry went to bed with his toy table saw and drill. He was up for about 2 hours after we put him to bed. JJ eventually went in and asked him what he was doing, he replied, “Building a table.”
