Need. Sleep. Please.

Today was so tiring. I haven't been able to sleep for the past couple of nights because my brain won't shut up. I'm either thinking about Kaleb, starting a women's Bible study group, the $8000 the IRS didn't give us (but owe us), if I'll continue taking Masters classes, etc. Nothing that can get solved at 3:15 in the morning, but it's on my mind anyway. Eric started the first of three weeks of band camp this morning. He left the house at about 6:40 and Kaleb woke up at about 6:45. That was way too early. I decided that since he was just talking to himself in his crib, I'd let him and I'd snooze a little longer. I guess he got really hungry at 7:10 because he started fussing. I reluctantly got up, made a bottle, changed him, and fed him in the living room. After he ate I laid on the couch while he pulled out all of his toys...eventually settling on the drumsticks. He was acting sleepy so he took his morning nap a little early - 8:30. It was only an hour nap, but I laid down, too. Unfortunately, my insomnia problem happens during the day as well. He got up around 9:40 and we played until Eric got home for lunch at 12:30..then it was naptime. I love naptime! Especially long ones (3 hours) like he took today. Eric's parents were coming down for dinner so I had to clean up a little bit, take a shower, and try to have some "me" time. When Eric got home he watched Kaleb so I could finish the laundry, put up the dishes, and pick up all of the babe's strewn toys. We went to Las Fuentes where Kaleb pulled over my glass of water, emptying the ice in my (and his) lap. He cried because it was cold and scary and I went outside to warm up. When we got home I put Kaleb to bed and fell onto the couch unable to move...except I wanted ice cream. Caramel Kettle Crunch...yummy! Now I'm blogging in bed, preparing to read Twilight for the 100th time, and hoping I can fall asleep.
