And ...I LOVE that last "pic" - too funny. And you said this very well. I think most Moms [well, women in general with children or not] have these same thoughts and fears. And they can keep us awake.<br /> <br />I like your plan and it being full of prayer. I have tried that [God KNOWS I have tried that] but my prayer usually goes something like a bargaining chip, as in "Okay God, if you just let me fall asleep in the next 30 minutes so I can get at least 4 hours of sleep I PROMISE to go to confession this week. Because, like, I know you're too busy for little ol' me right now" - And I know we shouldn't get angry or threaten God, but my prays start to get to that dark side where I finally understand where the "So help ME GOD" line actually comes from. heehee<br /> <br />This can go on for a couple of days until acceptance finally settles in and I blissfully pass out where I am sitting. giggle In fact Pooldad told me I fell asleep mid sentence tonight. I got a whopping 2 hours of sleep, sitting up with the dog in my lap. I am going to be a peach in church, in oh....about 5 hours.<br /> <br />I am luckier than most Mom insomniacs tho' - I don't work outside the home, so I can sleep when I am able to and my family is extremely accommodating so I don't worry too much that they may starve while I am out during dinner. Let them eat cake! ::wink:: <br /> <br />I hope you were able to fall asleep tonight. And if you find anything else that works, besides meds or prayer - please let me know. God will thank you. ::grin::SkippyMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479661523059481730noreply@blogger.com
