Insomniac


Little known fact about me I can’t stay asleep.  I am the type that if I wake up I am up for the rest of the day.  That is why the dog next door may mysteriously disappear one day.  The damn thing starts barking at 6:30 every morning.  But my hardest time for sleeping is really some time around 1:30.  This is usually they time I wake up and can’t fall back asleep.  It is 3:13 now and I have been tossing around since 1.  I have no problem falling asleep but I just can’t seem to stay asleep.  Usually I have to turn the tv on and fall asleep to a monotone sound.  That usually stops me from thinking. 

I just can’t stop thinking.  And I think of absolutely nothing important.  Like Jamie Spears.  What was she thinking….what kind of a role model is she….what did her mother do wrong to have such screwed up kids…..Will or should Nickelodeon get rid of her?  Or I think about Noah and all the funny things he has said or done and how I have to get all this on video tape….then I think OK where is the video camera which of course switches my mind to …..I need to better organize the house and get it cleaned up a little more which leads me to…I need to hire a house cleaner now where did I put those flyers they were leaving on my doorknob.

Yea it kind of starts with one thought then progresses to another.  Again it is nothing important I just need to shut my mind off!!

On a side note, we have signed our lease and I am meeting with the designer and contractor at our location on Friday!  This is so exciting.  Our location is only 2.5 miles away from the house and Noah/Cooper’s school is right on the way in our subdivision.  I’m very excited to get started.  Things are going to get real busy after the first of the year.  I will have a lot to do.  Eric and the Jungle Java gang have set us up nicely.  I have everything I need to get started and they have been a tremendous help.  I will take you all on my journey of opening a business.

OK I better try to get to sleep now.  Only 3 more hours til that damn dog starts barking.  Bon Huit!

    So what do you listen to that late at night? I usually put on the Discovery channel and listen to The New Detectives. The narrator has such a monotone voice. Or I listen to CNN.

    I hate to tell you Nikki, but that must run in the family. I mean the not being able to go back to sleep. I finally got up about 2:30, read my Bible reading, read the paper, had breakfast, and have been scouring the internet since. Your Mom got up to make a pit stop and went back to bed. She will love that I passed that information on. We are having a great visit. I just wish I had all the energy she has. We shopped till I dropped yesterday! No big plans for today. Have a great one and enjoy your new adventure. Love.

    I really can’t say what I listen to, since I fall asleep amost immediately, but I am a Howard STern fan and pretty much listen to him all day and right before bed too! I have to say I have some strange dreams with that show going on in my sub-conscience all night!!!

    We don’t want to come back to Detroit. No money in the market would lure me back. I love it here and we are 120 days from opening our business. After this gig Gregg probably won’t do terrestial radio again! I think he likes the freedom and fun of doing the internet radio instead.
