Counting sheep

I have not been able to go to sleep for the last week.  I lay there, blinking through the darkness until my eyes adjust enough so that I can see the ceiling, and I listen to my husband breathing.  I can hear Alex in the next room rolling over.  I listen to the cats roaming the house.  Eventually, I usually get up and read for a few hours in the family room.  I don't know what is going on.  I'm still waking up at 7:00 with Alex and I haven't been taking naps during the day. I just can't seem to get to sleep at night.



I suppose I could look at this insomnia as a good thing and take the opportunity for some quality "me time":  Catch up on the History Channel, finish knitting that stupid scarf (it's only about 2 inches long so far), read a book (which is what I have been doing)... It's frustrating is all.  I mean, no sleep at night means a groggy me during the day, which you'd think would make me tired at night, but no, come 10:00 pm, I'm wide awake staring at the ceiling again.  Ugh.
