a picture a day post FAIL :)

So far I missed day 5, 7, 9 and 10 ....the picture is what really throws me. I ALWAYS have something I could talk about ;) but I don't always have a picture to go with it! I learned getting pictures from the internet can result in the inability to post my blog to FB it will claim that it is spammy :( Well enough excuses on to my post for today...

Don't you miss being able to pass out where ever you are!! 

Children...and men have this uncanny ability to just pass out were ever they are!! I can be exhausted beyond all means and it will still take me at least 30 mins to unwind and fall asleep. My husband on the other hand will complain that he is not tired at all and then three seconds later he is snoring away. Lately my son has deviate from him normal schedule (maybe he is growing). He will be playing away and all of a sudden get really quite and when I look over he is SOUND ASLEEP right where he is! It usually happens right around lunch time which is really unfortunate b/c he goes to bed hungry and only naps for a short time. If I wake him and try to get him to eat and go back to sleep he NEVER ends up going back to sleep. 

This post has been prompted by my recent struggles with the sand man...he seems to forget me :( I go through this cycle often..first I will have insomnia for a few weeks. Sometimes it gets really bad...like looking at the clock at 3:00 am and still being wide awake or going to bed at 2:00am and waking up at 5:00am unable to get back to sleep. Lucky for me as long as i can get at least 5 hours of sleep I am fully functional and feel fine. Less than 5 and I am CRANKY!! More than 8 and I am sluggish.  The next cycle is when I am tired all the time. I finally start being able to fall asleep at a normal time and all of a sudden I start falling asleep at 8:00pm and waking up at 7:00-8:00am (when ever William wakes up) I can also take a nap while William is napping still fall asleep at 8:00pm and not wake up till William does around 7 or 8am . It is ridiculous, but I guess my body is trying to catch up to all that missing sleep. It is truly the worst cycle b/c I can do well with a little amount of sleep, but too much can cause a head, back, and neck ache along with feeling slugish. Of course the last cycle is the normal sleep schedule where I go to bed and wake up rested at reasonable times. I am currently transitioning out of the insomnia cycle and into the comatose cycle hahaha I am SO tired ALL the time! I fell asleep on the couch the other night at 9:30pm woke up at 8:00 am and desperately needed a nap when William went down for his!! Hopefully this won't last long and I can get back to my normal sleeping schedule 

Here's so a good nights sleep and waking up well rested!!
