Insomnia is so last night

Not my sheep.  Not my photo.

I’m not sure how it happened, but I didn’t sleep last night.  Ok, I maybe slept for 5 hours straight and then was awake for a solid 1 ½ and then …well we don’t have to get all technical or anything.  We’ll just leave it as I’m rather cranky today.  Oh and my eyes feel like they are filled with sand.  I’m trying to find a positive way to spin this and the only thing I can come up with is that there are much more worse things that could have happened than to lose a good night of sleep.  Now if I can just make it through the day….(I did make it, but just barely.)

Not me.  Not my photo.

Last weekend was the first for me in months that didn’t involve a volleyball tournament.  I almost didn’t know what to do with myself and all the free time.  Except that a good chunk of Sunday was spent in the car, picking my girls up from their dad’s house. 

Not my tunnel.  This IS my photo.

A six hour round trip…too bad the scenery stinks.

Oh, today was supposed to be my big comeback at the gym.  At 4 am this morning, I gave myself permission to skip since I had been up and awake since 2:30am.  I think that’s finally what allowed my mind to drift back to sleep...giving myself permission to skip.  Then I woke up at 5:30am instead of 6 because I was mad at myself for letting myself skip.  Had I gotten up to run anyway, would I still be this cranky?  WE WILL NEVER KNOW!!!

Movin’ on!

So check this out.  I bought this really awesome book called “One Yard Wonders.” And in an effort to USE the book (rather than let it just collect dust) I have challenged myself to making something out of it each month.    This month, I kind of cheated.  It WAS in the book but it didn’t involve any sewing. 

This used to be my tv stand way back when.  That hole was for the card.  I was such a handyman!

Awesomesauce!

So, a yard of fabric, adhesive spray, some poster board, and some packing tape.  I'm pretty happy!  It wasn't rocket science and was a super easy and quick project that had I not challenged myself to complete....I'd still be looking at that stupid hole.

The end. ZZzzzzzzzzzzzz
