Sleepless in La La Land

My mind just races some times. I've gotten used to lack of sleep. In six years, it's rare that I see a full night of uninterrupted sleep. That's part of the challenges that we face with our son. Oddly enough, he's finally started sleeping through the night over the last few weeks, as relieved as I am, I find that it presents a set of unique problems for me, now that I am facing sleep on a regular basis. Tonight, or rather this morning, the sounds of my teenager arguing with her significant other, combined with my concerns about the upcoming school year for my son, have created a lot of wandering in my mind and try as I might, I can't go to sleep. To make matters worse, my husband is going to be returning back to his duty station on Tuesday... I can feel my sense of nervous anticipation as his time with us dwindles down. He's not going to be home again for another 6 months, and again for only just a couple of weeks. This is not the way I would like to start this journey, writing about insomnia at 3 am in the morning. But, it's a start... Now that it's quiet.. I may just try to lay down again.
