You are causing me to lose sleep.
Who cares that you found out something very surprising right before you went to bed?
Let it go...
Who cares that you opened your big mouth (again) and created more stress for yourself (note to self...get new filter...bigger with a better ability to think before releasing information)?
Let it go...
Who cares that you are nervous about how you're going to feel tomorrow after not working out for 3 weeks?
Yes, your muscles will hurt tomorrow...let it go...
Why must you keep me awake in the middle of the night thinking of the most random things that won't get solved right now anyway?
You must shut off when the clock hits 11:00.
It cannot go on like this.
I realize it was a stressful evening...
- two worlds colliding (random IRL person found my blog and I wasn't ready for that although I really have no problem with it...it just surprised me),
- can't talk about things like rational adults (typical),
- must keep mouth shut to make problem go away (classic avoidance, huh?),
- laundry (can't we pay someone to do this?),
- tutoring (love cash...missed my students),
- eating late (yummy eggplant parm), etc.
I get that there were many stressors present that aren't typically there. I get that. Deal with it. You're a brain, right? Function like a brain and work through these things prior to 11:00.
I'm sure it didn't help that Matthew woke up right after you shut off, but you didn't have to wake up full force! You could have stayed in that half asleep mode until I went back to sleep. The fact that you started thinking about everything all over again really ticks me off!!!
So, consider this your notice, Brain. I am not the type of person who loses sleep. I cannot afford to lose sleep. I will not accept this behavior in the future. You are going to find a way to work through all of your issues by 11:00 (EST) and shut off so I can get a good night's sleep.
Thanks, Management

I'm with ya! I got a phone call from a high school friend yesterday...completely out of the blue...someone I hadn't talked to in 5 or 6 years. It happened to fall during naptime, which was good, but I spent waaaay too long on the phone, which wasn't so good. And it gave my Brain waaaay too much fodder for the evening. <>
I hate when this happens. We lay awake in bed with these thoughts running through our heads...so frustrating. Hopefully tonight is much better.
Or worse, (or equally annoying....at least for me) having a song stuck in your head at night. It always prevents me from sleeping. I always dream that I am then responsible for the making of the video for that song. Ugh.
Oh, I hear ya on this. Last night I took Excedrin PM. No headache, just wanted to sleep without laying awake and thinking.
I have had a couple of IRL people find my blog recently too. I try not to edit my writing any differently than I would if I didn't know they were reading, but it's hard. Eventually, I'm sure I will forget they are even reading!
Eggplant parmesan is my FAVORITE!
I hate that!!! I've had a couple nights recently that I've been awake half hte night thinking. Sunday night was an emotional one. Paul's aunt passed away over the weekend and it stirred up some major emotions going back to my brother's death earlier this year. Then last night wasn't any better when my BFF miscarried (we were soooo excited that after several IVFs that she was PG...and now this. just devastating!). Been a rough week...
If you figure out how to turn it off at night, let me know!
How about yoga? No, that's right! Yoga just landed you in the hospital!! Since your mother is such a terrible sleeper, there is no way I can offer an answer. It sounds as if you aren't alone anyway.
I seem to fall asleep well, but damn dreams wake me up! Last night I had a dream the spouse was having an affair with "Opal" whoever THAT is!! I hope you get some rest soon!
ooo ooo oooohhh!! I'm your 100th follower! Do I get a prize???? (jk-well, not really...no, yeah, I am kidding) :)
