I can't sleep
I've been waking up at 5:30ish almost every day for the past 3 weeks to bake at Cupcake Chic and it's catching up with me. I'm fine in the mornings once I get there and start working but the getting up is hard and then later in the day I get tired. I usually can take a nap after lunch when all 3 kids do, but the problem is I've been having trouble falling asleep! Talk about frustrating. I FEEL like I could just pass out if I hit the pillow, but I don't. My mind is just swimming with thoughts and it's hard to tune out. I'm thinking about cupcakes. Thinking about work, and how much fun I'm having there. I'm thinking about my Etsy shop- Laura Barnett Handmade. (which is way too long of a name, but oh well!) Thinking about new products to make. How to market myself. How I'm way behind on making things to fill my shop. Thinking about how I really should clean the kitchen instead of crocheting or sewing. I'm thinking about this blog and how I need to write and photograph more. I'm thinking about moving. Convincing our landlords to let us make improvements with out raising our rent. Getting excited to move and then thinking about all we have to do to lead up to that. Packing, cleaning and unpacking. I think about how busy Kart and I have been because we're both working two jobs (I count motherhood which is really 24/7) and how we only see each other when we're too tired to do anything but sleep. I think about all the other little things I want to/should be doing but don't feel like I have time for. You see now why I can't sleep! I'm hoping writing this post will get it all out of my head so I can rest! I should tell you I sleep just fine at night, it's just the day time hours that I can't unwind from. Plus there's that nagging feeling that if I sleep I'm not getting anything productive done. Well anyway. Thanks for letting me brain dump for a minute! Now you have a little insight to my world currently. Talk to you later. Hopefully more rested!

I can so relate! Every time I wake up to feed G at night I can't go back to sleep for like half an hour or more. So frustrating.
ReplyDeleteSounds familiar to me. I swear I had to fall asleep standing up before I could ever take a nap! I hope the landlord doesn't raise your rent. That would not be fair. They didn't want to paint at all, but I think they should. I know it wasn't painted before we moved in. I just don't get them. They painted, re-carpeted, and put some plastic corner things around all the corners of the walls. Oh, and they got new blinds too. That place was empty from October until February, and they weren't working on it the whole time. Hang in there. You are doing a lot, but I'm sure it will help to be close to Hillary.
ReplyDeletethis is late, but i know what you mean! motherhood is such a strange mix of contradictions. i hope things are going better now, and i can totally identify with your range of emotions and thoughts!
