i should get more delicious sleep

For the past few weeks I have been unable to sleep. Ok...I do get sleep but not restful and it takes me ages (like hours) to fall into sleep. The past few weeks I have been working on less than 5-6 hours of sleep a night...I know that seems like it should be enough but I am a gal who likes her 8 hours and it is starting to take its toll. I don't really know what it is but the minute my head hits the pillow I start thinking about all the work we have to do, all the writing I should be doing, whether we will ever own property.....Clearly I do not need to be keeping myself up worrying over these things but I cannot seem to just let it go. I envy T who rolls over, tells me not to worry about things because it doesn't help (which I get, thank you very much) and then in about 5 minutes is sawing down a whole forest of sleepy trees while I lie awake pondering all the things I should do. I have been told to take the word SHOULD out of my vocabulary, I am trying but this one is a real hard one to remove for some reason.

Last night I decided to say "screw it"...I did not think about work, I did not worry about writing, I did not worry about what I should be doing and miraculously I fell into delicious sleep. It was so needed I hope that I can tell everything else in my mind to take a hike tonight because this lady has a TON of delish sleep to catch up on.

revisiting the teenage years in more than one way

so my weekend went by way too fast, possibly because I slept for about 19 hours of it...straight. went to a stagette on friday night which was fun but i was exhausted as the last week was crazy. and the exhaustion continued as i did not get to bed until 3:30 on saturday morning. t, some friends and i went for breakfast and then i crawled into bed at 1pm for nap. yup that is right i woke up sunday morning at 8am. apparently my parents were right eventually no sleep really does catch up with you.
other than that the weekend was pretty quiet but not in a rejuvenating way so next weekend is for me and t to relax and do nothing. i am hoping it actually happens we both really need some quiet time.
a difficult person has come into my life and it is proving to be a frustrating time for me as i think it is a massive personality clash and i cannot deal with it as i usually would due to the circumstances. poor t has heard me vent but that is all i have done about it....so i hope some down time will allow me to properly think through the options i have to deal with this individual. it is so crazy, i honestly thought that i had gotten rid of this kind of person in my life and lo and behold years later after many bad experiences in junior and senior high, lessons learned and then swearing to myself that i would not deal with this again it is back in a big, irritating way.
