Thoughts at 5 am…

If you read McMommy’s blog (and you should!) you probably read her post ‘Who Writes a Blog Post at 3 am?”.   I know we’ve all been there and it seems to happen to me a lot. Like today for example. Gracie has been waking us (me) up at the pure butt crack of dawn. Today it was around 5 and it was a Saturday morning. I’ve gotten good at not saying anything. She needed to potty so I helped her in the bathroom then right back to sleep. I was back in bed by 5:07 but then I could not go back to sleep. I hate that.!!Even though it was a Saturday and maybe, just maybe I could get in a half hour-60 min of sleep, I didn’t. Here were my thoughts…

   Why is Gracie getting up so early? I hope she’s not getting sick…

    I need to get sub plans ready sometime soon because I know she’s going to get sick again being around so many germs now….

   What do I have left to do for her party? Do I send out the evite or the cute picture card I made? Oh geez I hope it doesn’t rain at her party. Will worry about that at another time. … (we’re having a park party) Maybe I’ll send out a ‘save the date’ pic and then do the evite too.

  Is that Gracie I hear coming back in our room? No, just Jack… She’s probably going to be back in here any minute…

It’s 5:35 still awake…

How can Kelly sleep so peacefully and now worry about all this kind of stuff??

I think I’ve gotten a good head start on Christmas shopping but I have a lot left to do too.

How am I ever going to write sub plans with the crazy kids I have this year? A sub is going to run out screaming. I can never be absent, what am I going to do?

Rinse, repeat, rinse, repeat of all this same stuff….. then around 6:15 I have a “Mommy, I’m up now cuz it’s not dark out anymore.”

Now I did not get up and actually write this post at 5am but I did around 7:30 when Gracie was all settled eating breakfast.

So, what about you? What is going on in your brain at 3am or 5am???
