im exhausted, but cant sleep
dont you hate it when something haunts you on the edge of sleep, a bit of your past, maybe, or something you wished you had accomplished at one point or another.

damn late night thoughts. ive lost more sleep to you...

7. I've had those thoughts, too...
"If only I'd done this instead of that." It doesn't help.

9. Hang in there. Keep on trying. That's all I could ever do...
I've raised my two kids and three step-kids. I'm alone, but I earned a retirement. You just have to keep working at it.

2. All my life
It's one of the reasons why I'm a night owl. I know it sounds crazy, but it's good to have those thoughts come out at times; as long as they don't overwhelm you, it's healthy, at leat that's IMO.

Everybody needs to see their darkness every so often.

4. thats why im up and about
rather than lay there letting them take me where they want to go, i do that, but i limit it to an hour or two at a time... then i need to get up and check the reality of things... make sure that im not just going crazy like my subconcious tells me i am.

10. To quote our last legally elected President, "I feel your pain"
I haven't really slept since Saturday night. Tonight I haven't even bothered trying. In my case I can't even blame it on haunting thoughts or any thing like that, at least not consciously. I simply can't fall asleep and have no idea why. I just know it sucks.

On the positive side, I finally get to hear what "Morning Sedition" sounds like. They're good, but I'd still rather sleep.
