Way to early to be this awake!!

Oh how my life drabbles on! My days are starting to run together and my eyes are open more at night than they should be. While I would like to chalk it up to being a mother of three children, one of which is only 7 weeks old, I can't. It's all me. The baby sleeps wonderfully and only wakes up once a night, which is actually not until about 5 in the morning. This would be perfect if I could sleep. I could probably sleep if my brain came with an off button so that I can stop thinking of all the stresses and ideas of life. I sleep great when my husband is home, but he is gone more than he is home.

The last few days I feel like I am nonstop going and you think with all the going I would be so exhausted by the end of the day I just conk out. Wrong. End of the day, all kids are sleeping, and I am laying in my bed thinking about recipes, school, the next project I want to work on, and things I need to add to my to-list. I just can't shut my brain off. And I can't take those wonderful sleeping pills for I fear I would sleep TOO well and not hear the baby cry.

I wish with all this energy and enthusiasm I could get farther along on my NANOWRIMO. I seriously have 1700ish words. *facepalm*. I am in a major writers block. I bet if I erased 500 of those words and started over I would be in better shape, but then by the off chance it doesn't work, I just deleted 500 words for no reason. Oh the ponders of life as a writer.

My husband has been gone one week as of today. Major suckage. I miss him a great deal...even though he excels at driving me batty when he is home. I get sleep though when he is home. I just curl up next to him and I am out in two minutes.

I wish I had more time to clean my house up. I am starting to feel like an episode of hoarders. My back living room is a disaster with all my craft supplies, papers, the kids home school stuff, etc. And I hate those random papers that you do not want to toss, but where do you put them if you keep them?! I just need to make that a priority today because once I start my online classes in January I will need that space to actually sit at the computer and do homework. Without having to clear a spot first. I would like to try and use my craft table too for homework since I can use the computer chair to sit there and that is a lot nicer on my hind end than the dining room chairs.

I cannot believe that it is November already! It is that time of year for me to get all the Christmas presents going so that I do not have to worry about it. In terms of shopping I am all done. I just have some handmade gifts I want to give out this year and I need to get started on that....but I am having troubles with my damn sewing machine. I am about to stick it in a box and forget about it. Or sell it. Something. I really am too irritated with it now to figure out what is wrong because I have tried EVERYTHING.

I wish my house was this quiet more often. Everyone is sleeping but me....I hate that the baby went right back to sleep after his feeding but I just laid in bed until finally I was so bored here I am on my blog. With nothing all that important to say.

Yes, I am boring today. I will try harder next post.

I am going to raid my kitchen for something yummy for breakfast!!
