I'm still trying to get to sleep. I guess I should just keep lying there, but I'm bored.
Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? Is that the helpful thing to do?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I really need to go to bed. I've got approximately six hours until the kids crawl onto my side of the bed and begin their whisper campaign for sugary cereal and cartoons after a brief period of either snuggling or sleepy kicks to my head.

Skipping (yet again, sigh) to post that, unless my counting-on-my-fingers are mistaken (which they totally can be, you know), today is Frisco's *first* birthday.
Happy birthday, big baby boy! Happy day, Stephanie! With lots of wishes for all your family, as well.

I'm watching the dawn here. I'll get to start driving home when my brother comes to take over Mom Duty. I start evening classes (at least for a little while) on Wednesday so my life will have shape and purpose outside of Finding A Job....

Happy birthday, Frisco!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Happy Brithday, Frisco!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
How is it fair to date someone who only needs like, six hours of sleep every night, when I need like, 8.5?
Preach it. The Boy came to bed at 5 goddamn a.m., at which point I was pretty much up for the day, although I tossed and turned for another 90 minutes until my alarm went off.
I know it's probably the Wellbutrin that's fucking up my sleep architecture, but I swear to Christ, I am going to KILL him if he pulls that shit again. (I haven't been able to sleep more than 6 hours a night -- generally LESS -- for about 10 days now, WHICH HE KNOWS, and I'm about to go on a sleep-deprivation-induced rampage.)
Yes, I take Ambien. It puts me to sleep, but there's nothing to be done when I wake up at 5 a.m. and can't fall back asleep and know my alarm is going off at 6:30. Anything I could take would leave me groggy for the rest of the day (trust me, I've tried that route).

And it's basically a mealy-mouthed version of Rush's "I hope Obama fails". Wanker. Not that I'm surprised.
