    Are you sleeping?

    It's 10:45 pm here in CA, and I don't see Abbey, or wynter, or the other members of the "Up All Night Club." Hope that means you ladies are getting some much needed and well deserved peaceful sleep! I'm heading to bed myself...good night! Sweet dreams!

    Re: Are you sleeping?

    Well HECK! I'M up!

    I've actually been getting to bed before 11pm the past few nights. Not sure what's WRONG with me!

    Now that we know DH's head isn't going to explode any time soon, I have had less to worry about. Although Gfg2's behavior citation today and the detention he earned for tomorrow, not to mention that his afternoon meds just aren't cutting it, now have me in a tizzy.

    So yeah, where IS WG... and Abbey?

    Re: Are you sleeping?

    I've been trying to wear out the spazz-o-matic that is Buster the Yorkie so he could be put to bed (his crate) because when Wynter goes to bed, he goes to bed. Otherwise, he wouldn't let her sleep. But, he had gotten this sudden burst of energy for some reason. He spent a lot of time outside today really interested in the grass around the flower pot. I'm thinking he got high or something. Whatever it was he was *really* interested in it.

    Gcvmom, I'm glad that you have been able to have peace of mind with DH's health issues and can sleep. It feels good, doesn't it?

    about Buster, Heather. Gosh, I remember the days when I'd sit at my computer desk tossing a bone for 45 mins or more to Molly to wear her down for bed at night. Hard to think of her now as ever being that energetic. lol But now she plays with her "herding" ball in the yard all day and is exhausted when she comes inside.

    For me, school is back in session. (the reason I'm up at 7 something in the morning) Which means earlier to bed for me if I can. Doesn't mean I always sleep though, but I try.

    No, not sleeping, but trying to do house stuff because I've been working so much. I'm a 2-3am person...I'll probably be back on tonight.

    Re: Are you sleeping?

    Its 4:40 and I have been up for an hour already cruising the web.. Have been forcing myself to stay up late so I can sleep for more than a few hours, but its not working ..

    Its bad enough I am up, but I gotta tiptoe around in the dark so the darn bird doesn't think its time to get up and start singing and whistling and wake everyone else up
