Eviction Notice

Dear Insomnia,

I think it's important to tell you that I haven't missed you. Not even a little bit. It's been a while since we last ran into eachother and since then, I've been fantastic. I have no idea why you decided to come waltzing back into my life (ok, so I do know why but let's not get into that right now) but it's time for you to leave.

Three nights of tossing and turning. Three nights of counting sheep and counting specs on the ceiling. Three nights of rolling over to the alarm clock to see that you've taken hours of precious sleep from me. Three nights of watching infomercials. Three nights of trying to read another chapter in my book only to discover that I'm too effing tired to comprehend any-effing-thing so I just keep reading the same effing paragraph again and again.

I tried to reason with you last night but you hung around, keeping me awake until somewhere around 3:30am. Well I've got news for you: it's time to go. I've pulled out the big guns tonight...

High thread-count sheets on the bed? Check.

Hot bubble bath? Check.

Super soft jammies? Check.

Lavendar vanilla lotion? Check.

Sleepytime tea? Check.

Sleeping pill? Chiggity check.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

Hugs and a swift kick in the ass,
Kendra
