insomnia

Me.....not Rachel.

I've been awake since 1:50 this morning. At 4:30 this morning I cleaned the bathroom and mopped the kitchen floor. At 6:30 I was vacuuming. Yes, I know, I'm crazy.

Of course, I did go to bed at 9:00 because I couldn't keep my eyes open (and because we had no power all evening), but still, that's not even 5 hours of sleep.

I am hosting a playdate at my house this morning for the mom's club I'm in, and since the power went out at 5:30 last night, and I wasn't done cleaning, I had a ton to do. The power didn't come back on until sometime between 9 PM and 1:50 AM when I woke up. Part of why I couldn't go back to sleep was because I was stressing about everything I had to do this morning to get ready for the playdate. So I finally decided to get up and do something about it instead of stressing about it.

I'm glad it's done, but man, I'm exhausted.

In napping news, things have improved a bit. We've been putting her to bed closer to 2:00 for the last few days. She's gone right to sleep each time, and I've been getting her up at 4:30, and she has been cheerful, not grumpy, like I had feared would happen, waking her up before she was ready. 4:30 is still a little later than I would like her to get up, but she's still going to bed fine at 8:00 pm, so I guess if it's not affecting that, it's not a huge problem. We'll see if things continue this way.

Hopefully I'll also be getting a good nap today!
