Bye Guys!

Hey Everybody! I just wanted to say BYE!!!

I'm leaving in the morning for 8 days so I won't be able to update for at least 9 or 10 days! The trips worth it though! I'll have lots of stories when I get back!

SIDE NOTE: I got my haircut today for the Locks Of Love program and donated a foot of hair! I didn't know I had that much hair! It's soooo short now! I like it!

SLEEP!!!!!!

Ok I'm sorry if at any point this post begins to not make sense at all. It's like 11:30 at night but I just felt like I needed to write something......

I've just had one of the weirdest days. Not in the sense that something has gone bad but it just felt really really weird. I think that it is the lack of sleep I have had is finally catching up to me.

Ever since the school year ended I have been having a very difficult time sleeping at night. During the school year I would fall asleep and not wake up 'till morning or if I did wake up it would only take a matter of minutes until I was out cold again. But now if I do wake up in the middle of the night(it happens almost every night) it takes me a good three to four hours to fall back asleep! I listen to music(calming stuff like Josh)and try reading but nothing seems to help!

The worst night was last week Thursday! I went to sleep around eleven like I normally do, (I have to stay up to make sure my brother and sister lock the house when they come home from work) and was out within a few minutes. Next thing I know I am waking up again. I looked over at my clock and see the glowing 1:13. I rolled over and tried to sleep but it didn't work. I tried listening to music that didn't work! I even went upstairs and got a drink but that didn't work. Finally I decided to try reading. I had just gotten a new book that day and was saving it to read that weekend at Polish Fest but I really wanted to sleep so I decided to start it. I read almost 3/4 of the book that morning. I would have finished it but when I saw the sunlight start to creep through my blinds I knew I needed to try sleeping again. Especially since the clock now said 5:45 and I could hear my dad upstairs making coffee before he or my mom had to leave for work. I did finally fall asleep, I think around 6:15, but was woken up 45 minutes later by my utterly annoying sister!

I have had other similar nights but none that left me so sleep deprived! I seriously don't know why I can't sleep all of a sudden! I don't like it!

If anyone has any suggestions on what might be wrong/how to sleep better...PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!!!
