I am awake. It is 5:45 AM. Now I’m pretty sure that some people choose to rise at this time each day. Me, not so much. I have been awake in bed since about 5 tossing and turning so I decided to get up read blogs about Haiti and hopefully I would get so tired of looking at the screen I’d go back to sleep.
I have been having such a hard time sleeping this past week. Not sure what is going on, but I wish it would stop. I can only think of one night I’ve slept good in a week. This is starting to catch up with me.
So, now that I’m awake at a time of day that I’m not normally up, what shall I do? Read? Watch TV? Lay in bed? Organize something? (my label maker ran out of labels last night!) Eat? Make coffee?

I was up at 4:45 this morning- and I don’t have adoption stuff running through my head anymore….
usually when I can’t sleep I figure that God has me awake for a reason- so I pray… anyone and everyone that comes to my mind gets middle of the night prayers sent up by me from time to time….
most of the time I can’t fall back asleep… so that stinks… ’cause the next night at like 8 I am falling asleep on the couch!
just a warning… it probably will not be better until your kids are home…
you might have to try a night time sleep pill occasionally so you can get a good night of rest every once in a while!
Sounds like the perfect time to go running ! You can be up early and beat that TX heat.

you should have mowed the lawn, or washed the cars, or cleaned my office.
I’m sorry to say that you will not sleep well again until your children are home.
My lack of sleep started in April – I was well exhausted by the time we arrived in Haiti the morning of June 1, 2009 but I slept good from that night forward. Now I just stay up entirely too late!
I, too, had a rough night. Couldn’t fall asleep, then woke up way to early—my mind just won’t stop.
I will keep you in my thoughts & prayers.
I too think God wakes me up early in the morning to pray, usually while I’m praying I end up falling back to sleep.
