Help me sleep
Last night the planets aligned, and the stars moved into the right quadrants of the sky, and as a result, my kids were in bed at a reasonable hour. I was so excited to get a little extra sleep. I fell asleep right around 10:30. I just knew I was going to get some great shut eye. Then at 10:45 my wife gets a text message that startled me out of my blissful slumber. CRAP!!!!!!! Now I am up, because I got that adrenaline rush and was wide awake. So I toss and turn until about midnight. Still not too bad can get a solid 6 hours. Then at 2:32 am my oldest daughter comes into my room and says she is hearing thumping noises coming from down stairs, and she is convinced that some one is down there. GRUMBLE, MUTTER, almost CURSE. I go down stairs and of course there is no psychotic killer, no rampaging ghost, no one at all except my two youngest kids asleep in their beds. Walk back upstairs muttering incoherent sentences, about wishing someone was down there to kill me because then at least I would get some rest, knowing that I will want to die when the alarm goes off. The alarm goes off and sure enough I want to die. I am so tired when I touch the screen on my phone to silence the alarm it isn't working so I keep tapping it, finally it shuts off. Then I hear voices coming from my phone. I had dialed a phone number in my contact list, not exactly a butt dial but you get the picture. UGH!!!!
