Whenever I see a pregnant woman I can't help but think, ha better you than me. This is coming from someone that spent tens of thousands of dollars on IVF. But my twin pregnancy was so miserable that I am cured from ever wanting another child again. But I long for the days of pregnancy every now and then because it was the only time in my life that I could actually sleep.
Most of the time I'm awake because I just can't turn my mind off. I'm worrying about the kids or our business. Mark gives me more than enough to worry about before I add the other two kiddos into the mix. Here are some crazy things about my insomnia.
- I really only sleep well in my bed.
- I cannot have any distractions. No music, lights, kids, pets, or TV allowed. EVER! Yes my kids have never spent a night sleeping with me. And guess what? They are all alive and well.
- It either takes me forever to fall asleep (think 3am) or I fall fast asleep only to wake up at 2am. And I never go back to sleep.
- I could have a PhD if I used my time awake wisely. But I choose to lay in bed trying to sleep. Hey, I'm exhausted!

Hey, we could all have PhDs for the time we spend up at night! Here's hoping we get some great sleep soon.
