Sleep

To Sleep or not to sleep-- is not really a question. There no one that would argue that sleep is overrated. We all need sleep it is vital for normal healthy life. It is the time our bodies recharge and mend. That is after all why babies sleep so much- they are growing and rebuilding the little cells that make them-- them. Sleep evades me tonight as I lay hear listening to Kaden and Kelsie soft snores. Kelsie does not usually snore but she is not feeling well. Kaden since almost birth has had a snore, it is a cute Kaden snore. I am watching the first 3 Kinikini kids as number 4 starts the journey to earth life. What an incredible time to be in the home with a new arrival hours away. Meanwhile Scott is in a sleep lab for the second time about 45 minutes from where I am. Aunt Sue is up until 3am reading, Scott is all hooked up to wires struggling to sleep and I am wide awake. I have enjoyed great sleep over the last month. That is the up side to Mono I figure. Fatigue even my insomniac body can't resist. It has been sweet to lie down and fall asleep, like a normal person. Who would think me normal! Yet yesterday I woke up with a nasty headache. Scott said it was due to my stuffy nose from the yucky air outside. It has been stormy, but with the stormy a nice refreshing cool air as the companion. We love cool air. Scott and I do not like the heat. I read that is will be in the 90's with in a few days. from snow to 90's-- that is Utah in the spring. I got to watch Kaden play in his tee-ball game. If you can call it play. It is more like a very humorous comedic routine. Even I know that when the ball comes your way get it and that there is a certain order to running around the bases. I then played for an hour with Kenna on the playground. She was such a happy camper. I was thinking about how her life will change so much in one day. She will not be the youngest anymore. She will become an older sibling. It will be good for her in the long run but for the shock of sharing mom I think it may be a difficult transition. I finally took some headache relief meds which makes it impossible for me to sleep for about 48 hours. that is good with the kids and I can get some work done on the book. Marlene has been carrying the load (no pun intend there) while I wrap up the play and YW never ending list of Stake events and all the family health crisis we have had. I'm excited to get back in the saddle and work againand actually create some pages too. I love the recent Challenges Marlene did for the month of May. You can check them out by clicking on Weekly Challenges on the side bar. Aunt Sue has been lonely. She misses Mungo just like we do. We are looking into getting another kitty as a companion for Aunt SUe. I think we want the same breed as they make kitty dogs. It is the best of both worlds... lap dog but without having to take for walks and potty trained. I am hesitant to get another pet. The loss has been very painful. We did get Mungo's remains back. I have always been afraid to be buried. I don't like it outside, neither did Mungo. Now we will keep him (or his body that is) with us until I die and then Scott will bury him with me:) I'm not planning on kicking the bucket but when I do I now feel fine to be buried in mother earth. AUnt Sue is a sweetie, we sure love her in our home and hearts.
