Insomnia-- Why?

It's 2:30AM and I have insomnia. When this happens I used to lay on the couch and watch tv in hopes of going back to sleep. Usually that doesn't happen so I've started getting up and trying to accomplish a few things -- sometimes that's harder than you think with a house full of sleeping bodies. In talking with my siblings, insomnia has come up several times. We all call it the Jackson Insomnia. All of us, brothers, sisters and my dad, have this problem. Not every night and no rhyme or reason to the nights it happens but after a few hours of sleep, we are wide awake until about 4 am and then we can go back to sleep. It drives me crazy!

I'm happy to report that my to do list for this week is all accomplished, except for watching basketball on Saturday and one of the items will be a work in progress for several weeks. It's been a busy week but a good week. At Activity Days on Wednesday, the girls were full of energy and a lot of fun. I think they enjoyed decorating the cookies (and eating a few) and then delivering them. It's always fun to surprise people with gifts of love.
