I think we figured out why I'm so weak and dizzy. My insomnia has kicked back in full force. It's been such a crazy/exciting week. Hubby is gradiating tonight, it's finally starting to get warmer again, and the countdown has started for us to really buckle down and get ready to move.

The past 2-3 months I've started grinding my teeth again. I've been woken up quite a few times with Jake's thumb pushing down on my jaw to keep me from doing it. I guess it really is that loud. I have a chewie now that I put in when I go to bed. I've been trying to take my "Andrea go ni'ni" pill, but if I do that, I don't get up to be ontime for work.

So I sit around, watch our evening shows, have dinner, and I get quite exhausted. I change, get ready for bed, turn off the lights, plop down, and I become WIDE FREAKIN' AWAKE.

It really irritates me. I'm hoping to get home early enough to take a sleepy sleep pill and be able to get up for class tomorrow. We shall see.

I also got a cryptic voicemail from my lawyer regarding my car wreck 3 years ago. She mentioned she has good news, so I'm hoping that means they've made a settlement and that I'm going to get all my hospital/therapy/surgery bills paid, plus a little extra in my pocket. It's not too much, but enough to go party on, get a new laptop, and help put towards a new house. All I can say is about time!

This may or may not help, but warmed milk (if you can stomach it) really does help with sleep problems. I've had the similar insomnia issues with the kids. They go to sleep, I don't. But milk has the same chemical that turkey does that puts everyone to sleep. If it helps.

Hmm... I will have to try it.

Turkey DOES have the same chemical, but it is in such small amounts it doesn't make you sleepy enough... or it's never worked for me :P
