Insomnia

Yep, note the time of this post. It's almost 1 am and after lying in bed for over an hour, I have decided that my occasional insomnia is paying me a visit. Luckily this is not a chronic thing for me, (my heart goes out to anyone who does suffer from this) but it still frustrates me to no end when it does happen. Tomorrow's going to be a long day! Since I'm up, I thought I'd make good use of my quiet time and write a quick post. When I first started this blog, my intention was to have a place to post cute stories and pictures of the boys. Now, I think I want to expand upon this a little. I've decided that I'm also going to use this as a place to clear my head a little of the five billion things that are constantly running through my mind. Since I stay at home with our two small boys, I don't often get the opportunity to share my thoughts and ideas the way I might were I working all day with adults, so I've decided to let it all out here! Now I'm not sure what this may mean sometimes, it might get a little weird, but hopefully those of you who actually do read this (dad) can handle it, and not think less of me! For example today has been one of those rocky days (hence the insomnia) where no matter what I tell myself I can't talk myself out of the cranky mood I'm in. I've been irratable and impatient with the boys for no reason, and that has caused me to feel guilty which has led to me to feel even more irratable. Most days I love my life and wouldn't trade it for anything. I know that I have been blessed beyond measure, but today that knowledge still didn't cheer me up. Luckily however, a bunch of girlfriends and I went out to dinner tonight, and that did the trick. There's something theraputic about being with other women who completely understand your day to day life because theirs is so similar. Going out with the girls always gives me a little perspective and help me love and appreciate what I have! Thank goodness for girl friends!
