Sleep

Sleep, sleep...oh how you elude me. Why is it that I am not seeing enough of you? Why do I find you so hard to meet up with?

Why do I put you off? Why do I say that I will come and visit you by 10 every night, yet I continue to be over an hour late for our appointment each night? Missing out on these visits is causing me problems. My eyes are closing on the drive to work. My lesson plans are getting done a day at a time. My caffeine intake is rising exponentially.

We have to do something about this. Send your friend, discipline, to get me into bed earlier. He can be in the form of my friends, asking me if I made it to bed in time. He can be in the form of my husband, brushing his teeth and saying he's ready for bed. He can be in the form of my students asking me why I'm grouchy, which will remind me that I need to be in top form for them. He just needs to remind me...GET TO BED!!!

Oh, is it 9:50 already? Let's see if I can do it tonight. Sleep, I'm coming. I promise.
