I had one of those nights last night. I should have crashed easily-I'd been on the go since 7:00 that morning. The kids and I headed out to run some errands and then headed into the zoo with some of my in-laws. But once I went to bed my brain jumped around to all the stuff we'd been up too lately, plans for the future, making sure this spring went smoothly with all our craziness, etc. It took a lot of reading to distract the brain. I would have been fine for the rest of the night except my sweet girl woke up and got scared at about 2:30. She needed a late night cuddle. Unfortunately for me my brain woke up and wouldn't turn off. I hate it when my thoughts run wild in the wee hours of the morning. I think my sleep deprived brain while busy is still sleep deprived and not functioning. As a result my thoughts focus on my own insecurities, panics, fears, and off the wall thoughts. Those things that don't make sense, aren't really helpful, etc. But they keep you awake even more than anything else. You sit there and just wish your brain would just turn off.
PS as a result of sleep deprivation this post will probably have even more errors than normal (as a few of my readers like to point out). Please remember in this case I'm very, very tired.
