Tick Tock
I am so glad that I don't have a clock in my house that chimes out the hour and the half hour, because it is bad enough laying in your bed .......... waiting to fall asleep but to be reminded of the fact that you are still awake every half an hour must be worse than when peeping with one eye at the digital clock on my bedside table, I check the time, hoping that I fell asleep and didn't realise it and that it was time to get up............. that the dark would go away and the day would break.
My bestest friend Dawn is convinced it is because I am on iron tablets again, and my normally high energy levels have gone into the red and are now looking to explode on the world....... or some unsuspecting friend who lives in another time zone, and has time to chat...... don't you just love facebook, it is true the world is so small that you really do never need to be alone....... ever.........
The last two weeks have been hectic at work....... I think I must be quite "demanding" at the moment, because as I leave my office door and go into the main office a look of horror comes over everyone's faces and their eyes cry out............. not me please don't let it be me...... They just hate it when I am in mission mode.............
So....... after these hectic days, I am finished, I watch a little TV 100 channels and nothing to watch, I go to bed and read my bible, and read my inspirational book, and read my story book, and count 100 sheep jumping over a fence, and then jumping back again, I think happy thoughts of fields full of sunflowers blowing in a summer breeze, I pray for all the people in my life, I send love to those who have hurt me.......... and then some more for good measures, and guess what I am not even yawning........... nothing.........
Next night, I play on the computer for a while, watch a little more TV I go to bed and read my bible, part of the Old Testament and part of the New Testament, and read my inspirational book about how I can be the best person I can be, and read my story book the few pages that I left the previous night, and count 100 sheep, jumping over a fence, and then jumping back again, 100 cows jumping over the moon and back again, I think off all the cutlery in my draw running off with one another, I think happy thoughts of fields full of sunflowers, I count the rows blowing in a summer breeze, I pray for all the people in my life, and all those people who were in my life, and all those people who are going to come into my life, I send love to those who have hurt me.......... and then some more for good measures, and yes even more just in case the rest didn't get through, and guess what I am not even yawning........... nothing.........
Next night I...................... ideas anyone.......

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream
Make him the cutest that I've ever seen
Give him two lips like roses and clover
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over
Make him the cutest that I've ever seen
Give him two lips like roses and clover
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over
On Friday I was exhausted, the week was really busy, with an endless stream of queries which no matter what, always seem to end up on my desk, which I might add is beginning to look like a paper recycling plant, maybe I should change my name to Sherlock Holmes............
I took Kayla for supper and we chilled , which is the new word for sat and relaxed and has nothing to do with the weather because it was actually still 25 degrees at 9pm....... why we needed a new word I am still not quite sure, anyway we relaxed in front of the TV and I nodded off, TV has this effect on me, I am not sure whether it is the boring programmes or the fact that I am sitting still which is not something I do very often, I woke up at 10pm Kayla assured me she was not asleep and was just resting her eyes....... anyway off to bed we went................
And there I lay all comfortable in my bed ready, willing for Mister Sandman to come and send me off to dream heaven.................. and I waited................ and I waited.......... maybe he was busy with all the fireworks maybe there was a whole load of children who couldn't get to sleep I mean he has the whole world to look after............ so I decided to help by counting some sheep, flocks of sheep, I counted every sheep ever born or that ever will be born I counted them jumping over the gate, the moon I counted them on the hillside climbing up mountains.................
Right tea time, and back to bed with a book, I am reading it first, to make sure it is suitable for a young guy at work, who is a new Christian who is really under attack, and I have heard some weird, reviews about this book, I transgress again, I read for about half an hour and tried again................ the sandman was obviously still busy.............. I sprayed mood enhancer in Lilly, in Coffee and one my bestest friend gave me which sends her on her way to sleep land when she uses it .................. nothing............. my mind was like a racing car................ like an automatic machine gun that never runs out of bullets like those perpetual motion balances that swing backwards and forward for hours .......... how do you stop your mind from thinking, it is almost as though it has a mind of its own............ surely I am in charge, surely I can tell it, it is time to switch off the lights and go to bed, it has worked for my children for years...............
Right it is now 2 o'clock and time for tea my answer to all evils............. and I switched on the TV, took my pillow and blanket this time, because my neck is still a little stiff from earlier on in the evening, hoping that it it would send me to sleep, it worked before maybe it will work again, hoping it would bore me to tears and send me off to that unattainable land of sleep.............. well it was a really good movie which I watched until 3.30am called For the Love of Grace one of those girlly movies that men hate, which leaves you feeling all glowing and restoring your faith that somewhere maybe there will be someone who will one day love you that much........ now I am sure that on this feel good note I can get a couple of hours of sleep.................
NOW the cat decides that the mouse who shares our house has lived here long enough, NOW he decides that he has gone too far............ being "wary" please note not "scared" of mice........ I lay in my bed and heard the little thing squeak as our champion hunter chased him around the house ....................... it sounded more like a lion and a buffalo than a cat and a tiny little mouse............ eventually it was quiet and all I could thing about was Peroni eating this tiny little mouse and praying that he would not feel the need to bring it to me as a gift............................
I can feel my eyes closing .......................... sleep is on its way..................... and then the jangling of bells ............ I forgot to switch my alarm off it is 4.30am so I get up make some tea...............................................
