Normally, getting enough sleep is difficult for me.  I’ve suffered from insomnia for as long as I can remember, and I usually get by on 4-6 hours of sleep a night.  Lately though I can’t seem to get enough sleep.  I’m crashing shortly after the kiddo goes to bed at 8, and then sleeping until he wakes me in the morning (between 7 and 8 most days).  I take him to preschool and then odds are good that I’ll come home and go back to sleep for at least 3-5 hours before I go pick him up.

I don’t know if its a diet issue (am i getting enough iron?) or something else medical, but mom was really worried when she heard how many hours I’m in bed a day, and I promised to see the doctor. I made an appointment for Thursday morning.  It was the only time available this week, so sadly, I’ll have to skip the kidlet’s preschool trip to a pumpkin patch.  I went last year to help chaperone and he really had fun.  Those pictures were some of the ones I lost in a computer crash, and I was going to tag along this year and get updated ones.  Ah well.
