I have had two nights this week that I have woken up around 2:30-3:00 in the morning and could not go back to sleep. I have many nights I get up about this time to go to the bathroom (I think that habit is one still left over from pregnancy or something) but usually I go right back to sleep. Normally when I wake up and can't go back to sleep I have a strict fight getting up policy but the last few times I have quit and gotten up to watch reruns of the Cosby Show, the news, or something that I have DVR'd (the best invention of the last 5 years). Last night after fighting rolling around and knowing I was awake up trying to pretend I was asleep I decided I couldn't lay in bed anymore so I hit the couch and turned on the TV. After I watched a few infomercials about work out videos and almost buying one set I decided to watch Project Runway and Private Practice. At around 5:00 I decided I needed to try to sleep even if I didn't think I couldn't. I turned off the TV and laid on the couch in what I thought would be dark. Nope...there is a blue light on our DVR that shines...really bright. It isn't a normal blue light....it is neon. I put my hand up over my face and close my eyes thinking if I just close my eyes it will go away. I guess it did for a few minutes but then...it happened. Something got in my mouth...not sure what that something was...praying it wasn't a spider....and made me cough. BLAH!!!!!
Eventually I made my way back to my side of the bed and tried to go back to sleep. I listened to Geoff's alarm go off, asked him if he slept, and then listened to him grunt his way through his workout, shower, and fumbling for clothes. I think I might have dozed off a few times but nothing significant to speak of.
At 8:00 Madison came in and tapped me to remind me that I would not be going back to sleep for good and my day must start whether I wanted it to or not. Apparently this week is trying to teach me sleeping is for the weak or children under the age of 20. Yawn!!!
