Insomnia Sucks!

When I awoke this mornin'

When all sweet things were born

A Robin sat upon the sill

Sang sweetly to the morn

The bird who sang so sweetly

His breast fire-truck red

I gently closed the window

And squashed his fuckin' head!

Insomnia sucks!  Another night of tossing and turning and wishing to fall asleep.  Lying wide-eyed, body exhausted.  I finally got to sleep at 3am this morning and when the twittering of the birds awoke me - I could've killed every single bloody one of them.

Remember its Blog Action Day 2010 this Friday! 

Go Register Insomniacs!

(even The White House and the UK Foreign Office will both be joining us in blogging about water on Blog Action Day this year)

Another Surprise

Riaan took us girls to the shops this morning and surprised me by buying me my much sought after laptop! My very own acer notebook. How kewl?

I told him we could've used the money for other things - things that we need more than a laptop, things for the house but he said that he's wanted to buy me one for ages and never had the opportunity. I guess it is his money so who am I tell him how to spend it.

You see, Riaan got a kick-back from SARS and decided to spend some of it on me. He said "Call it a belated Birthday gift". If you remember I didn't get a gift this year...well, I did, just a wee bit late.

I am using it as we speak, sitting on the couch under a blanket as I only got 3 hours sleep last night. My insomnia seems to be getting worse. I'm knackered and have been battling all week to stay asleep. Lying wide awake counting the ceiling panels or running through the day's events or trying to count sheep....its awful. Even after two sleeping tablets which did nothing but make me stumble all over the place and feel hungover today.

Got any cures for insomnia??? Any suggestions will help at this stage.
