Ah, elusive sleep...

Okay, I admit it. I did a lot of sleeping over this last holiday weekend. I owed it to myself to catch up on some well needed and highly missed Z's. So I made a point of NOT setting my alarm for two days and sleeping in as late as I could. I even took naps. It was great!

What's not so great is that last night, when I needed it most, I could not fall asleep for more than 45 minutes at a time all night long. It was maddening. I even tried turning on a fan just to hear some white noise in the background. I was awake every hour, on the hour.

So, here I am at work, Monday morning. I've had two HUGE cups of coffee and I'm asleep at the wheel. I feel like crap! I started the day with a two hour meeting that seemed like ten hours. It's not even 11am yet and I could lie down right here under my desk and sleep.

I don't know what makes me not sleep well some nights. Most nights, I sleep like a baby. Seriously, I sleep and I have great funny dreams. But every once in a while, I just can't make myself sleep no matter how tired I am. When I went to bed last night I felt tired. I mean, after all, we had been celebrating Easter all day. I even had a couple of drinks so I really felt ready to call it a night. But once I hit that pillow, it was not to be!

I don't do well when I'm tired. I get cranky. I get whiny. I admit it...I'm a big pain in the ass when I'm tired. So, to my loved ones...I apologize in advance for my actions today. To my coworkers...best stay outta my way!
