Why oh Why

    Sleep....How come when you are able to sleep at night, when all of the world is still, your body wont let you fall asleep. There are plenty of times during the day when you have no time to sleep, but...you could just lay down on the couch and catch some precious ZZzzzzzzzzzz's....but then you remember "oh, I have a 1 year old....that is not gonna happen!"  Instead it is 12:30....1:00....2:15 in the morning and you lay there staring out the window , brain running at a million miles an hour, everything you could ever think of running through your head, your body is exhausted, but sleep still won't come. I am the kind of person that normally falls asleep within about five minutes of my head hitting my pillow, so laying there is torture!!! Especially when your husband is laying next to you sleeping soundly and you can hear you son down the hall making sweet noises in his sleep. That was me last night......staring out the window till all hours of the morning.              Thankfully today, I didn't have a lot to do, and Monkey was the best son in the world!!!  He happily played in his room with all of his favorite toys and let his, oh so sleepy, mama get 30 minutes of oh so needed rest. So thanks to you monkey man, my sweet little boy that I love so much, your Mama can now function and feels human again....you are the best !!
