Today I'm having one of those days when I wish I could crawl back in bed, make the room as dark as possible, and just SLEEP until tomorrow morning! I went to bed around 10:30 last night with every intention of falling asleep within 15 minutes like I normally do. But nope, I was wide awake. Around 11:30, I got up, walked around, laid on the couch, thinking maybe a change of scenery would make me sleepy. Around 12:15 I went back to bed, convinced I would be asleep shortly. Just as I was about to fall asleep, Gracie gave me a wake-up call... LOUDLY! I ran up to check on her, and she wanted milk. We haven't had a milk request in the middle of the night in a loooong time. I head downstairs to get it, and as I get back to her room to hand it to her, I hear Lainey's little voice, "Don't forget about mine!" Nice, both girls awake. I go down to get her some milk, then very sternly tell them both to go back to sleep.
I head to the guest room to see if maybe I can fall asleep there, and if she does wake up again I'll save myself the stair climb. But that didn't work either. So I go back to our bed... and toss, turn, and sigh for the next 2 hours. At 3:00, I decide to turn off my 5:30 alarm and choose sleep over working out. It didn't take me long after that, and before I knew it my eyes popped open at 6:00. Three blissful hours later, but I didn't feel so blissful. I gave myself 5 minutes to fall back asleep, and if it didn't happen I was getting up and going to the gym. The latter happened, as I was thinking about the group of girls I work out with already there, and felt totally guilty for skipping. So off I go to the gym.
The group had already started working out, so I went to a treadmill to warm up. In my 3 hours of sleep daze, I didn't notice the one treadmill I chose was ON. As in, running speed and I stepped on it. Then tripped, fell, and tried unsuccessfully to get back up. I hardly noticed the pain in both my chins as I was more worried about who saw me do it! Bleeding from one leg, and the other scraped pretty badly, I turn the thing off (I called it something else at the time) and got on another one and tried to save some face and warm up for a few minutes. What I really wanted to do was get off, drive home, and go back to bed. And I might have, but after so many hours of being awake in my bed last night, I didn't care to see it again till tonight.
Now, I'm keeping busy cleaning the house as we (I) get ready for Gracie's birthday party this weekend. The couple of times I've sat down, I almost fall asleep, but it is short lived as I get called to either break up a fight or fix some lunch! So, I think I'll be okay as long as I stay on my feet and try not to dwell on it. I'm definitely watching the clock, but I need to stop that too as it is still a LONG way away from bedtime.
To end on a positive note, I did find my rings the other day. Actually, Lainey's photographic memory came in handy and she went right to where she had last seen my rings. And this morning I finally found the garage door opener (not sure if I mentioned I had lost that this week too:)
I will have lots of pictures after the weekend as Gracie turned 3 this week and is SO excited about her wiggles party! We're having the grandparents over for hotdogs and wiggles cake... keeping it small as Gracie will want it. Lainey's already asking how long till her birthday because she knows hers is after Gracie's. I'm getting ready for two months of that question!
Have a great weekend, will talk again soon!
