How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

On Counting Sheep & Small Aggravations

in Everyday on 09/18/15

What do you do when you can’t sleep?  When you’re tossing and turning ,and the counting of endless sheep is just not working?
There must be some kind of magic cure to get the brain to slow down so you can enter that sweet slumber that a busy Mama so desperately needs.  I lay in bed last night for hours and could not shut down.  There is no big trauma in my life right now. A couple of minor aggravations but that is life right?
Ridiculous thoughts were swirling through my head….
*I wish it would just rain already so my head would stop hurting.
*What is that cat doing?  Shh QUIET cat!
*How did I forget to buy coffee.  Again.
*I wonder if those damn raccoons will pick on someone else’s garbage tonight.
*Why do girls have to be so mean?  Seriously, I’m so over the over indulgent, non-thinking,  rude teen girl crap.
*How can parents not teach  a little empathy.
*Why can’t I forgive and forget more easily?
*Why do I care what anyone thinks?
*Thank God for my Husband, and that he seems to enjoy my particular brand of crazy.
*Ouch…my ridiculous back hurts.
*Good grief I’m a whiner.
*Back to Dance and Volleyball full force this week, again, how did I forget to buy coffee?
*How can a house be spotless one moment and seemingly destroyed the next?  No really, how does that happen?
*I am so freakin hungry.
*Where have all the face cloths disappeared too? They must be with the odd socks.
*Why is it the one time you run out looking like a bag of toys it’s also the one time you run into two neighbours and some guy you haven’t seen in over a year. Not cool.
*Next week I’m trying that grocery delivery service..or at least make-up before I leave the house!
*And now the fence is falling down on the West side of our property.  That should do it.  All three sides in three years.  Ridiculous.
*Have to get organized for that wedding this weekend! What to wear, must get a gift, does Hubby need a new shirt?
Gee…maybe I did have lot on my mind….
