We all hear people say this but you know what: I don't want to sleep when I'm dead, I want to sleep NOW. I am exhausted! Not just because it was a holiday week and I was doing a lot and went out the night before Thanksgiving (and had a blast, by the way). No, I'm more exhausted because I got virtually no sleep last night and had weird dreams that kept waking me up. Like I had a dream that there was a dragon in my basement, and when a friend and I went down there the dragon came out of hiding and blew fire at us as we raced back up the stairs. There is no basement here...
Then I had another dream where I was moving a couple of boxes, and I saw where there was a hole in the wall near the floor. So of course all I could think about was that something had chewed a hole and was going to come through there. I moved a box back in front of the hole; and then I realized if the thing could chew through the wall, chances are it could chew through a cardboard box. Even in my dream I knew I was screwed...
Then when I was trying to fall back asleep, I felt like I was falling so I kept waking up. This game got old around 7 a.m. so I turned on the TV, like that was going to help. I figured that maybe since I was so tired I would get an excused absence from church; but when I called my mother she said she wanted to go so I got up. No rest for the weary!
But it was good for me to go to church. I managed to catch a nap this afternoon while I pretended to watch the Falcons game (I know we're on the east coast, but dear Lord can we please get a Raiders game once in a while???). So right now I am still pretty coherent, but my butt will be in my bed by 9 p.m. Only half an hour to go!
And guess what? My Christmas tree is up and decorated! It looks so lovely: I am very pleased. So I have a good long while to look at it and enjoy it :o)
Goodnight...hopefully there won't be any "falling" tonight!
