Top Ten: Reasons I couldn't sleep last night

I'm tired and don't feel very good... so here's the short and sweet top 10 reasons I couldn't sleep.

10. I've been sick. Wah.

9. The cold medicine wore off. You see, I fell asleep at 9:30... but only slept for an hour before waking up. Drowsy medicine my ass! Double wah.

8. Lucy hogs the covers. For a 10 pound dog, she makes her presence in bed known.

7. I was freezing.

6. I was hot. It was one those situations where I would just get comfortable, and then I was hot. So, I would stick my leg out of the covers, only to get cold 2 minutes later. The fun never stopped.

5. Garrison couldn't sleep either. He kept walking around and shaking his collar (Manda calls it his "necklace"). That crap is loud at 2am when its dead silent.

4. I had to pee. Only once though. Not that big of a deal. Manda went three times. (just in case you were curious)

3. My pillow kept sliding up the headboard... so I would wake with neck pain, only to find one cheek against my shoulder, the other smashed into the pillow. Good thing I have good chiropractic coverage.

2. The clock on my nightstand seemed a LOT brighter than usual. I could see what time it was through my eyelids.

1. I didn't want to go to work today. Whenever I don't want to go somewhere, I always stay up the night before thinking about all the reasons I don't want to go... This is counterproductive. I realize this. But it can't be helped.

Peace Out.

Do you have pink eye, too? I hate cold season, even if it's not really cold in Arizona. I hope you got to stay home from work, cuz you sound really sick and if I were getting a lung transplant, I wouldn't want you for my surgeon. *yack* And please do something about that rash...

Okay... Emily, your comment made literally laugh out load!

And I thought the rash was getting better!

Ummm....who wakes up three times a night to go pee? I thought just pregnant women.

When I can't sleep even the light from the firealarm is too bright with my eyes closed, so I totally hear you on the clock issue.

I hear you on the "thinking about all the reasons why you can't do something" shpeel. I too do that. It's amazing all the things that can go wrong with you when you're trying to get out of something. And then once you're out of it, instantly cured! HA HA.
