Giving In to Sleep
Wed Feb 02 2005

It’s one of those mornings. I really want to go back to bed, but know I should stay up.

I’ve got the twins home this week. I have taken them out of their current school and enrolled them in the schools out where we will be moving to. The new semester for those schools starts on Friday, so the boys will start out there with the new semester. It should be interesting for the next month. As soon as #3 gets on his bus, the twins and I hop into the car and drive out to their school. At the end of the school day, I drive them back here and should have about an hour or so until #3 gets back from his day. This will all switch once we move, and #3 will get taxied at that point.

I know if I stay awake this morning, I should be able to get a good chunk (if not all) of my reading done for class, as well as get a good start on doing the work that needs to be done. On the other hand, I’m sleepy and my mind is foggy, so I’m not sure how well I would be able to concentrate on my studies. There is no doubt in my mind, that should I go back to bed I could easily sleep for another 3 – 4 hours. With the twins at home, I would likely be woken up after an hour and a half to 2 hours, which would still give me a good chunk of rest time.

I like to think that if I were to stay up this morning, I might be able to fall asleep earlier tonight. I know the truth though, and that wouldn’t happen. I think in the back of my mind I already know I will be going back to sleep, I just like to think that I actually might stay up.

    Calm down. It's a little early for starting plants from seed. Unless you have some sweet peas you want to plant. They are pretty cold hardy. :-)

    Here is my vote: PLANT IT!
    You will never regret a garden. Such joy! You have to break up the soil a bit.. sometimes you have to add some food/vitamins.. Like throw your peelings and egg shells out and make a compost heap.. bury it and then work it into the soil the next year.. It is great for flowers, veggies, fruit, all of it..
    anyway.. You start the seeds in a flat deal.. Then transplant into the earth when the sun is not too hot or directly on them. Or they will not survive.. Some will, but.. oh when they come out of dirt and when they grow.. And then when they bear flowers, and attract the birds and bees. And the final harvest in fall. YES
    DO PLANT!!!!
    It is the most wonderful thing..
    Right up there with dogs and grandkids

    You have a really neat way with discipline.

    Getting all excited about the move, are we? Well, your readers are too.
