Who Needs Sleep?

I DO!!! I don't know whats wrong with me but I am having a huge problem sleeping, I think its a combo of being really excited about all the new things going on in my life and some restlessness due to the crappy weather over here. I have really had enough of crappy weather and then hearing about all the nice weather everyone else is having. Istanbul is teasing me, literally it will get nice for maybe a day or two then rain or SNOW for a few days at which point the temperature drops to almost freezing and I am not able to enjoy my runs let alone go on them. Which frustrates me. I am doing good at staying calm about it, since the only thing it seems to be effecting is my sleep. 

I have tried everything, I am seriously thinking someone has a voodoo doll out there with a lock of my hair and is pushing pins in it so I don't sleep.... I sure wish they would stop it. On the brighter side of not sleeping I am reading even more then normal. My friend Sarah gave me a book to read called "The little Friend" I have mixed feelings about it since the book captures me and bores me at the same time. It goes back and fourth from something happening to what the heck is the author doing here. I want to know how it ends so I keep reading. Its about a little girl whose brother died when she was a baby, one summer she decides to find the killer at the age of 12. It involves a bunch of snakes and those parts of the book I skim over. 

I got new running shoes but have yet to use them due to the rain. I am up at about 3:30am since I decided laying in bed struggling to go to sleep was unproductive and I could be doing something else like facebooking or blogging (which are both equally as unproductive.) I am just glad to not have a day like Sunday again. 

Today I was going to take a nap while Ege was napping but even though I was on the couch right next to him it was impossible to fall asleep. I can't sleep when the kids are sleeping and Huma is not home, I  know I am a light sleeper but I am deathly afraid something will happen to them and I will be sleeping. I have some issues I know I am curious if this is the same feeling (which is probably is) that new moms get when they have infants. Oh boy I can't wait! (absolutely just kidding!)

  1. Hi Ashley, about the sleeping - you will get to a point when you are just going to sleep very deeply for a while and open your eyes the minute the children make any kind of noise - us women are genetically programmed like that!
