Insomnia

It has been long enough since anyone posted anything new on this blog that I think it is safe. The chances of anyone reading this is pretty much nil. That way I can feel free to ramble on.

I am sick with a cold and cannot sleep. I actually went to bed around 7:30 this evening, thanks to my loving hubby, but woke up to some boisterous sounds coming from the basement and a voice saying "you get a free vibrator with that" in a fake indian accent. Fully awake and confused, I listened closer and realized it was Nialle, Andrew, and Rob watching hockey in the basement. It was 8:45.

So now it is midnight and I'm still awake. Partly from my evening nap, but also because I have a lot of things on my mind.

1. Moving. We are moving into Andrew's house in a month. There is so much to do. I do not have a lot of extra time on my hands, as a general rule. Endless lists of things I need to pack and sort run through my head...

2. Christmas. 25 days after we move Christmas is happening. I am trying to home-make all our presents for people, but time and money is short. So much to do!

3. School. It takes a LOT of effort and time to keep school going for the kids. There's the planning and the getting the kids to do it, and the little kids that need my attention while I'm trying to get the kids to do it.... Never forget the ever present feeling that I am probably forgetting to teach my kids something really important and they will be messed up forever. Ha ha.

4.Money. We never have enough. I am losing one of the kids I babysit due to her dad being laid off. Things are tight everywhere and we need to replace that income...

With all these things running through my mind it's no wonder I cannot sleep. I pray about things as I think of them, and God comforts me. Why don't I have the faith to just let it go and believe God to take care of things? Who does?
