A night of insomnia...

All it took was one super wet diaper...

If I wake up in the middle of the night, as long as I can resolve whatever issue has me awake within 5 minutes, I can fall back asleep. However, if I cross that ever important threshold between sleep walking and cognisance...I'm just up. That's what happened tonight/this morning.

So...

I checked my blog, my facebook, my email...not much happens between 10 pm and 1 am apparently, I looked for middle names for my baby, I decided to change up my blog (I'll probably hate it in the morning, but A for effort ;), and then of course, I had to tell you all about it.

I have realized over the past couple of years that the quiet is a breeding ground for my crazy mind to rehash unpleasantries. The other night I resorted to falling asleep to Jay Leno at 3 am just so I couldn't think. In my defense, I tried BYU-TV first, but some dude in a 1987 brown christmas sweater and a beard that belonged to one of the Beegees was having a hard time keeping my attention. So instead, I fell asleep, and dreamed of Jay talking to Jimmy Fallon in my dining room over dinner. Weird, but good conversation.

I should probably be working on my talk, cleaning the house, or even heading to wal-mart to do the shopping I have to get done before Bryan leaves in the morning for work, but why be productive when you can tell all 5 people who read your blog the pointless facts about your night of wishful sleeping ;)

And yes, the picture is random, but let me explain. Zerin found Bryan's motorcycle helmet in the garage, so of course, he spent the day pretending he was an astronaut on a strange planet searching for signs of life. We thought he would take it off, so we let it go...dinner came and went, scripture study, family prayer...still wearing it strong. Even at his own prayer time. There was no way he would stay in it once he laid down (or so we thought), yet a few short minutes later, this is what we found.

That really stinks, but the picture of Zerin is great!
Your house looks amazing, btw

I think that my mom had the same insomnia issues as you do. I remember waking up at 3 am to catch her vacuuming! I love the pic of Z btw - what a great story!

I love that picture of Zerin! He is hilarious! If you ever have a bout of insomnia again, you should let me know. Surprisingly enough, Emee and I are usually awake at 3 am. :)
