Once again I find myself wide awake

Nothing cures insomnia like the realization 

that it's time to get up.

At my age, you'd think that I would have gotten used to having the occasional nights where I cannot fall asleep.  I even took the usual Benedryl around 10:00 tonight and nothing it working.  I imagine that I have got too many things on my mind, once again.  Those things that are piled up around me waiting to be done....the insurance billing to be filed for my office, the completion of the new forms that I'm creating for my work at Bost, the VHS tapes that I'm slowly working my way through to converting everything to DVD format and of course, there's always some filing and organizing to be done!

Sometimes I just feel really stretched until I can go no more....one would think that would be my sign to slow down and get some rest!  But no, I forge on like the world will come to a complete standstill without my presence.

I am trying to think of the things that I've accomplished so far.  This morning I was able to finally turn in my tax information to the accountant for my business.  Last year, I think it may have been August before he finally got it all!  It felt good to have that all entered into the neat columns and rows on the spreadsheet.  It was amazing to look at how much was spent in various areas.  Advertising.  Who would ever thought that it takes so much to just run an ad in the yellow pages???  My house is actually clean tonight...except for this office and my bathtub.  Tomorrow night another realtor is coming to meet with us about selling our house.  I have mixed feelings about leaving this house.  But then, I've always had reservations about leaving ANY house I've lived in.  I think I get really attached to houses and the memories that we have there.  It seems that I am always able to fall in love with another one though....perhaps it's what I find IN the house much more than the house itself.   So many things change while so many still remain the same.  The love I have for my husband, my children and their spouses, and my parents will never change.  It likely will only grow over time as those memories grow. 

In any house that we are in.

Time to get some sleep.

Good night.
