•  couldn't sleep

  by jotter on Thu May 15, 2008 at 05:23:18 AM PDT

  •  Sorry to hear

    Fell asleep to the pitter patter of rain on the roof.  We've had a long dry spell here, so it's more than welcome.

    by Land of Enchantment on Thu May 15, 2008 at 06:33:00 AM PDT

  •  Hate when that happens

    Best wishes for a better night tonight.  Thanks for the diary, jotter.  I didn't even check earlier!

•  thanks Jotter and morning

  Sleep is overrated anyway   : ^ )~

  •  I used to sleep....

    by PBen on Thu May 15, 2008 at 05:34:40 AM PDT

    •  I'm going on five years of not sleeping

      through the night. No exaggeration. Pregnancy and babies will do that. By the time the baby sleeps through the night, I'll be a prime candidate for insomnia anyhow.

      •  I lived through that. When son 2 was about 6

        months old, I decided that I had to get 6-8 hours of uninterrupted sleep, so I rolled his crib into the computer room for the night.

        by blue jersey mom on Thu May 15, 2008 at 07:45:04 AM PDT

•  Good morning, Jotter.

  I hope you end up having a great day.

  I'm tired.  I keep waking up at 4:20 and going walking or running.  I can't wait for Saturday!

•  Jotter, best wishes for a good night's sleep

  tonight. Thanks, as ever.

•  What makes a weekly diarist keep typing?

  The wonderful people who stop by and read, comment, and rec...it is so much fun.

  Many thanks to all!!!

  You don't have to be currently reading a book to come by and chat. :)

  Thanks, jotter!!
