Insomnia

Ever have one of those nights? You swear you haven't slept, but you must have slept. Surely, you must have slept! I went to bed at 10:30 and I was there! Nanoseconds from great sleep, when something woke me. I think it was the sound of my 45-year-old husband hooping & hollering while he played "Hide-n-Seek-In-the-Dark" with all the neighborhood kids. Don't get me wrong, there's no sweeter sound. I love kids of all ages having fun. Love it! But, unfortunately, I have this handicap which makes it impossible for me to sleep if I'm disturbed during that one nanosecond before I drift off. Damn! You know the feeling: checking the clock ever half hour, hearing every sound in the house and beyond, the feeling of mounting frustration because you know you can't sleep in, and finally...finally falling asleep just in time for the alarm to go off.
