Put on bedsocks - hand knitted for me personally by nuns.
Take out teeth and place in glass of water, followed by glass eye. Glass eye doesn''t go in same glass of water - I''m not uncouth Say my prayers Kick Mr Gailey for snoring Watch BBC World News to find out what''s happening in the world. Kick Mr Gailey again and pray harder If I can''t sleep, I run through all the names of people I can remember on PS. |

My ritual is very much a ritual. If I miss a step, I can't sleep.
I put JT to bed and then go into my room (which has the door closed during the day to save on heating) and start up the portable heater on HIGH!) Clean kitchen, fold laundry and straighten living room because I can't stand to wake up to a mess. Lock doors twice. Then I either read or watch TV for a bit. Turn off all lights except those that DH will require. Peek in on JT and say a prayer. Go to bathroom and take out eyes (as I call my contacts) wash face, occasionally mask, and moisturize. Brush teeth and gag on the toothbrush. Bemoan the wrinkles and gray hairs that have no right to be on my 30 yr old body. Pee and turn off heater. Climb into bed with another book after meticulously straightening sheets. There are to be no wrinkles!! Also turn on small heating pad in bottom of bed with auto 30 minute shut off. After 15 minutes of reading, get up and pee again (I'm pregnant.) Get back in bed and pray. Smack pillow around a bit to show it who's boss. Sleep. Then comes the fun part. DH gets off work late and arrives home about 2:30 am. Door wakes me up, creaking floorboards irritate me. DH whispers "Honey, I'm home" I roll my eyes. DH gets in shower and smells up the place with his shampoo and deodorant (that I currently can't stand the smell of) DH gets into bed. I pee again. DH will usually rub my shoulders ( I take back my eye roll) DH falls asleep and snores like a chain saw. I kick, nudge and beg DH to roll over. Sometimes he does. Now I start the "I only have 4 hours to sleep" countdown. Pee again just hoping that I'll get an extra bit of sleep. By the time this is done, I've started at 9pm and ended at 4am. I'm so tired.  |

Wow. Uh let''s see. Brush teeth, try to find my way to bed from the bathroom in the darkness. Bump into things, trip over things, find bed. Determine where chihuahua is in bed under the covers. Move her so her nails are pointed at DH not me. Toss and turn a few times. Try to get DH to give up part of his share of bed so I have more room to toss and turn some more. Adjust chihuahua a couple more times. That''s about it.

Take dogs out.
Make sure all is clean in the kitchen, run dishwasher Let dogs in and give them a treat... Make sure all doors are locked. Check on the bird, Put the blanket pver her cage.. Ear plugs for hubby that snores then pick up Casper who sleeps next to me, and always has to be at my side, sooooo cute. Callie, is being a pain, she hits me upside the head in the moring, so has be deprived of being on my bed... She is awake at 6:00, and wants to play.. It''s very cute, but day after day , it gets old. Guess she didn''t get the memo on the time change.
