Mouse in the House and 150 Other Reasons Why I Didn't Get Enough Sleep Last Night!!!

Tweet

If anything could interrupt my sleep last night it did. The cat kept jumping from the vanity to the bed, to the little's bed, and then run to the living room. Little one whimpered in her sleep. She tossed and turned. It took her quite a while to fall asleep herself last night. She stayed up until 9:00 and I thought she would fall fast asleep. It was almost an hour later when I realized she was finally asleep. I joined hubby in the living room and browsed the sale ads to see what we couldn't live without. Thankfully our freezer and pantry is pretty well stocked. So my shopping list will be quite short today. After a few short minutes I stacked the papers neatly on the stand next to my rocking chair and went to bed. Hubby came to bed a half hour later. Of course I couldn't get right back to sleep. So I lay there trying not to think of all I had to accomplish by the end of the month. I woke at 1:00 to the gnawing sound coming from within the room. Not sure if it was the mouse that Dusty let loose in the room a couple of days ago. It could have been another that had gotten in the wall and was nesting. When I finally located where the noise was coming from, I tapped on the wall in several places hoping to get the dang thing to stop. Well, that only worked for a few minutes. I couldn't get back to sleep. It was nearly 2:00 and I was getting a little worried that I wouldn't sleep the rest of the night. Little Miss woke up and wanted to snuggle. So, I brought her out to the love seat/recliner and tried to get comfortable. Guess who seems to have grown a couple of inches? I couldn't get comfortable to save my soul. I did fall asleep, but woke up with my back and shoulders aching. We heard the hubby's alarm go off so we made our way back to the bedroom. Someone thought it was time to get up and play. No going back to sleep this morning! So, I am hoping that she will be ready for an early nap and I will join her for at least an hour so I can relax my tense muscles and rest a little bit. Lack of sleep can lower your immune system and I don't want to get sick. Can't afford that one. Time for a cup of ambition and make out my shopping list. Housework needs to be done too. But, not before coffee. Good morning/day everyone!
