It was a long restless night as my brain zipped all over the place trying to solve the problems of the world instead of actually sleeping. WoW, I feel like life will be slow like moving through mud today. These are the times I want to call a Mommy Time-out and go back to bed for the day.
I think I need to give myself a cut off time when I work at night. I was up late doing research and writing pitch letters. My brain was all fired up and not ready to stop even though my body was. If I am going to be doing work after Mina goes to sleep maybe I should figure out a decompress and shutdown routine so I can move from Active working to inactivity.
It’s so funny what you think about and how fast your thoughts switch channels from one subject to another. The imaginary conversations between people, scenarios of interaction, to-do lists, start popping up as if in a contest to see which tangent will keep me awake the longest.
My brain has two voices: the Parental Half and the Child half. Around 3 am the internal dysfunctional dialogue sounds pretty much like this story.
Hopefully lots of coffee and an afternoon nap will quiet the voices and let me rest….Must go re-fill my coffee now, cup # 2, and make a fresh pot
