Yesterday I woke up at 4:45am and couldn't go back to sleep. Not a huge problem. It actually made for a nice, relaxing morning. Today I woke up at 3:00 and was pretty stoked because I had time for three more hours of sleep. But I couldn't get back to sleep because I was really hungry.
So I got a snack.
And after lying in bed for another hour with thoughts and project ideas running through my head, I gave up and decided I should try writing my thoughts here to see if I can clear my head.
So, the AC unit in my rental house went out this weekend. Not the house I live in, but the house I'm responsible for. I spent all yesterday evening trying to find someone to get out there and take a look at it. By the end of the night, I was able to find someone to head out there, but not until tomorrow. Air conditioning really is an essential here, and especially in the house, because the damn windows don't open. The good news is that Miguel appears to have finally got himself under control and he already transferred a good deal of money to use for repairs. Because not only did the A/C go out, but some of the wood around the unit on the house has rotted out and need to be replaced. And apparently the house's electricity needs to be grounded. Not to mention, the beautiful flooring that I installed last year is providing perfect living and breeding habitat for roaches. Freaking awesome.
Because of all this, when I'm trying to sleep, I keep finding myself drawing out ideas in my head for a shelter for the A/C unit. That's something Miguel and I were going to work on ever since we bought the house.
And I keep thinking about work stuff, and things that I need to tell people... riding my bike... silly stuff.
I'm in the living room, and I can hear the girls "sleeping." Geez, they are restless sleepers.
... and Chloe just started crying. I have no idea why. I better go.
...turns out I just have super-awesome mom powers. Chloe has a fever of 102.6. That's why she was crying, and I'm going to just tell myself that I woke up because I needed to care for Chloe.

OH no... is Miss Chloe better now?
You probably DO have supermom powers.
I hate it when I wake up like that though.. it usually means a couple of days of feeling like crap too.
Hope your sleep is better and that the troubles at your old house get fixed without too much hassle!
I think you DO have awesome mom powers. Most of the time you don't see it. But you are a fantastic mom. AND you do pretty darn swell on projects and work and well. you're just pretty amazing.
I know you're going to say I[m prejudiced because I'm your mom - but I'm pretty sure I can get back up on this!
Love you!
I hate it when I have trouble sleeping because I seem to have alot on my mind. Sadly it happens fairly regularly. I stay awake thinking of the same things over & over again too! I feel your for you totally.
Hadn't visited your blog in awhile (since I often see you on Facebook--yes it's true I am a facebook stalker as Spencer likes to call me or maybe it's a creeper he calls me--whatever). Anyway it was fun to see all the pictures of the girls, your wedding dress, etc. It is fun to keep up with you!
