Zombie Mom
We have quite a bit going on in the next couple months...Kyra starts new things, trying to prevent Kyle from climbing on top of the roof (he has reached the top of everything in the house, so that is the logical next step), Super Saturday for Enrichment, another Enrichment in September, vacations, a wedding, a family reunion of sorts and just everyday life. So all of it great things, that I'm super excited for....But I AM A PLANNER! Probably a planner to a fault. I think about every detail (and drive Karl crazy). So lately I've been going to bed at 10:00-10:30, but then I lie there thinking until 2 AM! I can't get my brain to shut off. And if I didn't have two munchkins it wouldm't be a big deal. But Kyra comes in to snuggle at about 4 AM (and I don't really sleep once she's in our bed). But luckly that magical gene, that allows you to function without any sleep (often expressed during college) has kicked in, and I am fine getting up in the morning. But then around 2 PM hits. And that magical gene disappers, and I'm tired and cranky, and very impatient with the kids. Short of drugs, I think I'm out of ideas. Do I go to bed at 8 and hope I only lie there until midnight? Do I stay up and do things around the house until I feel tired? Do I keep the kids up later, with the hope that they will sleep in more? Any suggestions?

What helped your husband sleep on the mission? THat's a good place to start. I"m sure he's full of ideas.
How has his sleep been by the way?
What makes you relax?
Figure it out, then try it.
Exersize at nights.
Every now and then I"m the same way.
I hope you figure it out.
At the moment with us moving in 2 weeks I'm all up the walls as well.
Sorry Sara no suggestions...I do the same thing! lol! I can't seem to turn my mind off and actually get some sleep which means a nap during the day and then I can't sleep at night for 2 reasons now! Whew!
BTW - You are a great Enrichment Counselor...but some of the ideas were mine! ha-ha! :)
I hope you get some rest! I have the opposite problem where I lay down and fall asleep fast from pure exhaustion. My mind does ramble on and on like yours however and I know how frustrating that is.
