I used to sleep....at least sometimes....but definitely not lately. Truth be told sleep has never been my strong point. When we were kids I would torture Patti every night and make her stay awake with me until our alarm clock displayed 12:34. 1, 2, 3, 4 my favorite time! Surprisingly, she still loves me!
My problem is I just can't seem to turn my brain off long enough to fall asleep. When I do finally manage to fall asleep I can't seem to stay asleep. Many nights I wake up like I've been shot from a cannon...my mind is going 100 miles per hour and my heart is right there keeping pace.
When I was little if I had trouble sleeping my dad and I would head to the kitchen and snack on Sunshine Golden Raisin Biscuits and talk until I felt ready to go back to bed. Do you remember those cookies? They kind of looked like long 2" wide planks of crust with raisins smashed in the middle. They weren't very sweet but Dad and I could eat an entire package during one of our midnight meetings. I haven't seen those cookies in the stores for years. If I do maybe I'll buy a pack and the next time I can't sleep I'll grab them and head out to my Dad's.
I know I should be taking advantage of the time now to get some good solid sleep but there is an upside....I'm thinking I can use the huge bags that are forming under my eyes for a little extra packing room on our trip to China!
