A restless night…

I seem to have another night of fighting with my mind shutting off.  I should be taking a sleeping pill right about now, but I hate resorting to them.  Despite the doctor prescribing them to me, it makes me feel like I have no control over my mind.  I know it sounds a little crazy, but it just feels like a loss of control in some way.

I knew I shouldn’t have taken that nap after dinner.  However, I don’t think that is part of the problem.  I am pretty sure that I would have still had a problem falling asleep tonight just by how restless I felt all day.  The whole being beyond and overly tired, like I haven’t slept for a couple of days. 

It didn’t help that I downloaded a program onto my cell phone that was supposed to help it, and instead wiped and crashed my phone.  It literally wiped the damn thing!  I had to reformat my phone and it took me two hours to recover everything I had on the phone, between backs and downloads that I had to track down.  The program even wiped my microSD chip I have in the phone.

Note to self: Back up everything!

I finally caught up on grades today before I left work.  I only have what I collected today that has yet to be graded, but that doesn’t count because I just collected it.  Yes, this is what I literally tell myself.  I have more important things to do, like my lesson plans and get my senior portfolio completed for my professor by April 28th.

I cannot believe I am about to graduate and receive my B.A.!  It is so exciting, yet a wee bit sad.  I love to learn, and I am a student by heart.  It has been my “career” for so long, that going to school has become a huge part of who I am as a person!  I enjoy going to classes, learning new things, and creating and writing projects up for my classes.

Yes, I am a school nerd.

I am not ashamed at all!

I have been having a creative flow going through me for ideas on my writing, but nothing has developed from this spurt yet.  I still have to work on my college mom manuscript. 

Oh, and I am supposed to be working on my application for the school district to apply as a teacher.  Loads to do, and the procrastinator in me refuses to allow me to get real work done.  So, this weekend, procrastination will be kicked to the curb to achieve something!  I have to sit down and figure out what needs to be a priority and what can be put off for a couple of weeks.

Anyway, now that I have unleashed what has probably been weighing down my mind to the point of restless buzzing in my head, I am getting sleepy again.  So, on that note, I will be signing off now.  Hope you all have a great Saturday!
