I slept better last night, but still...

Usually I fall asleep with the t.v. on and many times my dreams interact with what ever is showing. Last night it was Comedy Central and I ended up dreaming that Jon Stewart from the Daily Show was hunting me with a deer rifle. Arrgh.

okeydokey
i decided not to bother whineing and complaining and trying to sleep. instead, i researched local campground info, cleaned out the fridge, cooked two suppers, prepared four different kids lunches for tomorrow, and now i'm waiting for a banana walnut cake to finish baking.
now that i have to stay awake, i'm forsure gonna fall asleep and the thing'll burn to a crisp

One of three things are going to happen. My neighbor's dog has a sudden illness which leads to death, my neighbor has a sudden illness which leads to death, or I move away from my neighbor and her barking fukcing dog. I'll give ya hint though, mortgage rates ain't good enough for moving...

So is it going to be the dog or the neighbor???

That is entirely up to the neighbor. The worst thing is the neighbor feels the solution to a barking dog is to yell at it. So then I have to hear the barking dog and the barking neighbor.

It may end up being both...

i learned about this when I was in school for my job. i do not like the shock collars, but this is good. (this is not the same thing we got but darn close)
we got a sample of the spray to carry around.


disclaimer: DO NOT TRY PEPPER SPRAY ON DOGS. IT DOES NOTHING BUT P!SS THEM OFF MORE!

LOL....well of the 3 we rescued I am left with one...the female who is under going heartworm treatment. We brought our older female (Morgan) out there....at night Morgan snoozes on the bed right next to me....Isabela spend the night padding around the house.....

Mapes...would the heartworm treatment make them prone to sleeplessness?

You insomniacs stay up too late. I can't hang! (as the expression goes) I've got to get my beauty rest or I'll scare small children on the street tomorrow.

3 pills of benadryl, 1 glass of port for each pill. take this combination once every 4 hours until asleep. LOL.

not sure if i qualify as an insomniac, but i'm running on somewhere around 12 hours of sleep for 4 days..?

I hate taking pills... I hate working midnights. When I am not working them, I can't get my body switched back around. But when I am at work, I can't stay awake!!! Figures...

I used to work (2 yrs ago) more then 100 hours a week on all 3 shifts. Quite often I only had 2 hours of sleep a night for days on end. Now, I work 40 hrs on midnights & get a lot more sleep, but have a LOT more free time. I sleep when I'm tired & get up (at any time) when I'm not.

I was awake most of the night. I should have just gotten out of bed and done some artwork,cleaning or something instead of listening to the snores and getting pissed.
