Tired. So Tired!

So I am following the trend of previous pregnancies and have sleep patterns from hell. I woke this morning at 5:30am to pee and could not fall back asleep. I got up with the kids and got the Bear off to school. I then came home and literally could not keep my eyes open. Hubby was nice and was able to take Smiles with him on his work runs today which meant that I got to sleep in till noon. Ugh! I still feel tired. Unfortunately, we had to get some groceries done (this being 10% off Tuesdays) and so we all piled in and went to Safeway. By the time we got home it was past both kids bedtime and I was wanting to go to bed to. But...... I could not sleep. So here I am blogging and not sleeping despite the fact that my body is incredibly tired. Also I have been finding my mind gives me those weird dreams that BabyJail was commenting about on her blog. Only mine have nothing to do with kittens. Yet. Mainly they are nightmares and/or were going to be nightmares but I woke up first. Only to find once I am awake that my mind refuses to stay away from the nightmare consequences and usually takes it down to a very gritty and horrible end. Needless to say I can't sleep when this happens. Like this morning. I won't go into details because I would rather not remember them. Suffice it to say I was glad to get up with the kids because I could then focus on other things. Like real life and not nightmares.

On the other hand I do have a nice new pillow that was lent to me by Raven. It is a memory foam one and her husband didn't like it so she's giving it to me for a trial month. So far I like. The only problem I have encountered so far is that is not quite thick enough for me. So I have found a flat pillow and am going to see if putting it underneath will help. (My old pillow is now a barrier between my husband's stinky breath and me.) Anyways thats my life so far these days. A constant lack of energy from the first trimester of pregnancy that I try to get around by exercising and then getting tired and sleeping. Sigh. I wish I could sleep right now but all that would happen would be me tossing and turning and probably kicking Hubby (accidentally - Honest!). Anyways I hope everyone else has a good night!

Good Night.
