pick up in autumn and here comes winter

I can't help being late... What do you mean that I need to set up safeguards?
You can't help me or solve this overnight my friend? I am trying but it is not working...

The time in between my last post and this one has been both humbling, and attacking to my spirit and physical condition. I have been having the darn est time trying to go to sleep at a good hour for a full nights rest. Usually when I sleep it is straight thru with no dreams to recall unless I wake in the morning in one. After being called into my bosses office again and again and a threat of discipline paperwork, I finally concluded that I needed to get help. My nights were 4 to 5 hours long with numerous interruptions from nightmares and noises which never let me get to my full rest cycle. Every morning was a struggle to rise... with 3 alarms set in different places and times, I still could not get out of bed on time much less to work. I made a desperate call to my physician for some sleep assistance and an increase in my current mood meds. Well, it has been about a week... and what a difference a small pill the size of a benadryl can make for me. It takes about 30 minutes for it to kick in but when it does, out go the lights. No more nightmares, and noises are waking me through the night. I still wake from time to time to go to the Lou but much better. The only down fall at this point it that if you don't get a full 8 hours of sleep, you wake refreshed but still abit groggy. Timing is everything with this stuff.
My spouse's run of the 1/2 marathon went great. While I was trying to get the kids up and packed he ran and finished it. He called and asked were I was even... I felt so bad... He finished in the same position as last year too. His next marathon will be in a few weeks. I keeps telling me that he doesn't know if you is ready... I call him on it... every time... I know he is ready and will do a great job...
Our ladies retreat went great, and our fall festival was fun. the turnout was not the greatest but we still had guests. It was a windy one of a day but it did not stop the fun. My eldest dressed in a authentic cheerleader costume with real pom pons and bells in her hair and shoes. She was so cute... My youngest was bumblebee and still continues to wear the mask when he is in the vehicle. He is so funny. Looking at the bodysuit it looked too big, but he had no problem filling it. I myself was a blue ladybug princess. If I get the photos loaded I will post them soon.

Well, that is about it in my neck of the woods. I better go for now... short sweet and to the point... until the temperature here drops lower.... I'll compose again!!!



****DO YOU KNOW JESUS BECAUSE HE KNOWS YOU. God knows every hair on your head (Luke 12:6-8 NIV:Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies[a]? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. 7Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows), and he gave his only son for you John 3:16 KJV-For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.)
