Sleep, it's what's for dinner

I wish I had something inspiring or meaningful or even just funny to say, but I'm struggling. I haven't fallen asleep before 1:30 the past two nights. Sunday night I thought it was just because I had some caffeine late in the afternoon and it had been so long since I've had any. But last night too????

Luckily, I'm off work tomorrow and I can sleep late and get caught up. Oh wait - that's not true. That was just me dreaming while I'm awake. Cuz I'm sure not asleep. Arrggg!!!

I know ya'll won't be able to believe this but I do believe this lack of sleep might be causing me to be a tad bit snippy. I found myself almost losing it today at work when I went to use a computer and someone had unhooked the mouse. Nice, huh?

Anway, that's all I've got.

Sleep - I need you...

Sleep, why have you forsaken me again? Don't you know I have to go to work tomorrow? Don't you care that I'm not a young whipper-snapper anymore? Don't you know that I.Need.My.Beauty.Sleep in a BIG way?????

But, I shall look for the positive.

I'm sitting in the living room, glancing over every so often at my Christmas tree (I think I just saw one of the lights winking at me!)

It's raining - hard - and the wind is blowing - even harder. It's going to be COLD tomorrow! I can't believe I'm excited about that, but for some reason I am.

It's 24 days till Christmas!!!

And, I'll leave you with these two precious pictures from Thanksgiving:

Abbie and the hubs

James and his Great-Granddaddy

Family is bliss (most of the time).

Can't Sleep

My stars, it's 4:11AM and I am awake. I woke up a little after two - I think it might have been the bolt of lightning that lit up the universe and the clap of thunder that could wake the dead (or maybe just me) and haven't been back to sleep since. It has literally been raining all night. (I'm not complaining.)

I have much to do this weekend. Bunko is here Monday night and I've got to get the house clean. We do supper before we play. I always stress about what to serve. Any ideas?

And thanks so much to Paulina for The Adorable Blog Award. I love this girl! You totally need to check out her blog.
