Why is it that I slept like a rock last night, through all the storms and tornado warnings, and yet, tonight, I have a horrible case of stinkin' insomnia?? Go figure. I mean, I slept hard last night...best sleep in a long time. Tonight, no can do. Ughhhhh..... Could it be I have just a few hundred things on my mind??? Hmmm....let's see, what could that possibly be? Let me count the things...

1. Baby girl has only three days left of her Senior year. :(

2. Said baby girl is not feeling well tonight. She had a migraine at bedtime.

3. She also thinks one of her lead wires (for her pacemaker/defibrillator might
disconnected). She tells me this right before she goes to sleep, with me.
That also tells me she is worried about it, when she wants to sleep with me,
I know she's worried or scared, or both.

4. I also just find out late this evening that there is an awards assembly at
her school tomorrow. Who tells me this? The school secretary calls me. Have
I been asking Morgy about this for the last couple of weeks? YES, I have. Did
she ever tell me when it was? NO, she didn't. I just hope my boss will let
me take the afternoon off so I can go watch the assembly. They have been SO
understanding, under the circumstances....me missing nine days in a row, when
Morgy had her surgery.

5. So much paperwork to do at school, and only eight more days to do it!!

6. So much packing and cleaning to do in my classroom, and only eight more days
to do it.

7. So much cleaning to do at my house!!! UGH...

8. Morgy will be going off to college in just a few short months. I won't be
there to make sure she takes her medicine. This is my biggest concern. She is
so not there yet, and it's all my fault. I am guilty. I have not made her be
responsible for her own medicine. This summer is our last chance to get this
accomplished. I've told her if she can't do it on her own, no college. It's
a matter of life and death. Most of her meds. are for heart failure. One
CAN'T forget to take heart failure meds. It's just not an option. Teenagers
shouldn't have to deal with that. Kids shouldn't have to deal with that. So,
I guess I dealt with it a little too long. It's her turn now. This will be
the hardest thing to turn over to her. I thought the driver's license was
hard. Lord, help me. Lord, PLEASE help her to remember...EVERY DAY.

9. I feel a great need to get my house in order. Me, Miss Unorganized Woman of
the Century, feels a very strong urge to clean and purge!!

10. I feel over-scheduled already. My summer is already scheduled!! Massages all
over the calendar. That's a good thing, I mean, for my business, however, I
kind of miss my teacher summers. :( I have tried to keep a three or four day
weekend in place though, so I can enjoy a little bit of my summer.

11. Swimming pool...ugh, here we go again....needs to be cleaned, scrubbed, and
refilled. What a chore!! However, my son, Jake, has so graciously
volunteered to help me with that!! It was so nice last summer to have him
living right next door, and so ready to help with the maintenance of the pool!

12. Many, many other things on my mind...lots of things to do, to consider, to
complete, to take care of...what happened to the concept of "slowing down" in
your old age? I think I'm busier now, than I have ever been in my entire
life!!

Now, that I have worked through this and jotted down the thoughts that are possibly
contributing to my insomnia, I am actually starting to get a little sleepy, but, alas, it is almost time for my alarm to go off!! Ha!! I see extra coffee in my very near future!! Eight more days of school, THEN, maybe I can get caught up with most of the things I need to do. Goodnight, all.
