. . . and Insomnia is kickin' my ass.
As you may have guessed, OPERATION: Insomnia Sucks! isn't going too well. I've been feeling under the weather, so I have been catching up on sleep this past week. I want to say that it has helped tremendously, but then I would be lying. My cat naps have been during the day, so my nights have been... sleepless.
So here I am, Night #19, it's 2:51am and I'm back at Square One.
Alright. Maybe curing my insomnia in 30 days was a little ambitious. You think I can do it in 60? :)
musings, idiosyncrasies, life and all that jazz...

Holy crap...
. . . is it really December already?!
Every year, I look back on the holidays and think to myself: Next year I'm gonna be better prepared 'cuz I don't wanna be one of those stressful "crazies" running around all month.
Although the holidays have completely snuck up on me this year, I am happy to say that I am almost done with my Christmas shopping :) That's pretty impressive --> especially for me, Queen Procrastination... AND considering the fact that I have 20 children to shop for on my list! INSANE!!
Now my REAL obstacle? Actually sending out my gifts. Last year I didn't even send them out. My family JUST got their Christmas gifts this past October. I'm terrible. But this year I am determined to send everything out in time for the Fam Bam Christmas party :) Judging by my progress so far, it's looking hopeful!
So let me update y'all on OPERATION: I Wanna Wake Up at 4am Every Morning and Not Feel Like Crap...
I tried my best to keep track of all my stats, even though I have been the usual sucky blogger :) My sleep times have been ranging from as early as 10:30am (usually induced by food coma, example: Thanksgiving) and as late as 2am (thanks to Black Friday online shopping and Cyber Monday deals).
Nights #3, #4 & #5 were looking hopeful... I was waking up around 4:15am every morning. :)
Night #6 I actually fell asleep fairly early (before 11pm)! But I ended up waking up throughout the night, every 2 hours until I finally got up at 4:30am. Needless to say, I was EXHAUSTED that day at work.
Nights #7 & #8 were close calls! I completely slept through my alarms! Actually, let me rephrase that... I don't remember shutting off my alarms and going back to sleep. Luckily [PW] was nice enough to smack me awake! If not, I would have been completely screwed. I think that 10 straight days of work wasn't helping the cause. My body KNEW that I owed it a day off! Hahaha...
Night #9 (last night) I don't remember what time I passed out. It didn't matter 'cuz today was finally my day off :) No alarms, my body woke me up at 6:13am. After my initial freak out (What time is it?! What day is it?! Do I work today?! Am I sure that I'm off?!), I went back to sleep and finally got up at 10:06am. :)
I went back to yoga today :) My body is seriously feeling *blah* and I know that I need to dispense energy in order to gain energy. The first day is always hard, but I'm feeling much better already...
Seriously. Could I add any more things to my already full plate??
Oh wait. We start planning for winter guard tomorrow night.
*sigh*
