I Can’t Sleep
So, it’s after one in the morning, and I can’t get to sleep. It probably has something to do with the fact that I slept until ten this morning, was up for an hour, and went back to bed until two. I don’t know what was wrong with me, but I woke up with no energy. So, now, here it is one in the morning, and I’m still awake. I went to bed, but after laying there for nearly an hour, I decided to get up.
What I have been thinking about, lying in bed, is having a get together with some old friends from school. Since Chris is going to be gone for six weeks, I have been trying to think of some things to occupy that time. I thought it would be so much fun to get together with the girls from back in the day. So, Cindy, Vanessa, Rebekah, Carrie, and Misty…if any of you are reading this, what do you think? Cindy emailed me this morning to tell me that she was pregnant, which is what got me thinking of all the girls. I miss them so bad. It’s been ages and ages since we’ve all been together. I think we all need to get together and catch up with each other. Kind of like a re-run back to Vanessa’s slumber parties, eh? Oh, it sounds like so much fun.
I’ve also been thinking about changing my hair again. I know that’s, like, really abruptly changing the subject, but I thought about a lot of stuff in bed. So, anyway, I’m going to go lighter red this next time, with blonde highlights. I’ve been putting away money to pay for it, ever since I got my hair colored to begin with. I need to call and make a hair apointment. I want to have it done before Elijah’s birthday party on the 26th.
I’m taking the kids tomorrow to have Easter pictures made. I was going to do it Monday, but I put it off. Elijah got a great big bruise on his face at church Sunday, so I’m going to have to put make-up on him, or something. Their Easter outfits are so cute. I can’t wait to see them in them. I hope they cooperate. Elijah wouldn’t do what we wanted to do when I had their Christmas pictures made. Chris is going with me this time, so maybe that will make it go a little smoother. Then, sometime next week, I’m going to take Elijah to have his one year birthday pictures made. I’d do it at the same time, but I want a different outfit and lots of prints. It gets to expensive if you buy more than just the advertised package. I’m such a tightwad.
We got Elijah’s birthday presents Tuesday. We got him a little sports thingie, with a basketball hoop and a baseball thingamajig, and then we also got him a little toolbox thingie. I have got to go through their toys before his party, and get rid of most of them. They have more than they need, and they don’t play with half of them. I’ve got to get rid of them to make room for new ones. It’s ridiculous how much stuff they have. I recently went through all of the clothes that Kyra has outgrown, and I gave most of them away. A lady at church told me tonight that she knew someone who desperately needed clothes for a baby boy, so I’ll probably go through Eli’s stuff he’s outgrown, and take a bag of stuff for that little baby Wednesday.
I’ve got so many things that I really need to get done. I feel like the most unmotivated person, most of the time. I am definitely not type A. I don’t know what I need to do, but I need to do something to kick my butt in gear. I procrastinate too much. Anyway, I guess that’s it for now.
