Want to go on a coffee date?

If we were going to go on a coffee date today ...

I would have to apologize for still wearing my pajamas and slippers.

I would tell you to be careful as you walked in the door because I have been doing laundry and four baskets are sitting on the floor.

I would offer you a coffee while I drank both coffee and water. I need to increase my milk supply.

I would encourage you to talk to Little Miss because "talking" is her favorite.

She may fall asleep while you are here on a blanket her great grandma Dee made for her daddy when he was 10.

I would tell you that Christmas is always difficult each year when money is tight and your children want really big gifts.

I would ask you if there is anything you would like me to pray for you this week.

I would ask you to tell me your story.

I would thank you for spending time with me because being a stay at home Mom can be lonely sometimes.

I would ask you to come back because I enjoy your company.

Insomnia

I can’t sleep.

Day after day I cannot wait to lay down but the second I do every possible list or problem is running through my head.

*What are we going to do about moving?

*Will we get this condo?

*Will we be able to come up with the money?

*Grocery shopping list

*How will I pack the moving boxes?

*Will I be able to get a moving truck in time?

*Will I be able to change the gas, electric, and cable companies to come out right when we move?

*Will the district approve our request for transfer of schools?

*How am I going to buy my school books?

*The summer is almost over … did I spend enough quality time with Jacob?

The list just keeps going.

I have tried natural sleep aids and I swear that just increases my anxieties.

I normally don’t worry about things but this whole move needs to take place in a little over 2 weeks.

It is starting to feel like I can’t breathe.

I just need sleep.
