Things to do when you wake up at 3 am and can't go back to sleep:
*Lay there for over and hour and try to convince yourself that you are sleepy.
*Get up quietly so you do not wake your very light sleeping 4 yr. old!
*Check the time! (I know you are not suppose to do this when you can't sleep, but kept wondering when everyone else was going to get up!)
*Pray! (Usually puts me right back to sleep, but not this time!)
*Check the time!
*Read your Bible for the day!
*Listen to a bird sing its heart out right before dawn!
*Check the time again!
*Play on the computer!
*Contemplate watching some news, but decide to wait a while longer for a good dose of depression!
*Fix coffee! (Use real sugar, not honey! Something about disrupted sleep makes me think less about being healthy!)
*Check time!
*Make a to do list, and the first three entries say............ TAKE A NAP!!!!!!!!
*Watch the sunrise!
*Think about hollering, "HEY, EVERYBODY, TIME TO GET UP!!!!!!!"
*Read some complete stranger's blog! (Hey, they were adoption blogs with very cute kids!)
*Hear alarm go off!
*Wait for someone else to get up! (Took him and hour to get up and he's not downstairs yet!)
*Get another cup of coffee!
*Check time, and realize it is almost 7 am!!!!!!
Hope this list can help someone else out there in insomnia land!!!!! Raising my cup of coffee to a very long nap today!

You forgot to say... be like Samuel and say "Speak, Lord for thy servant heareth". Sorry for the sleepless night... so miserable! Surely your prayers have helped someone that you were not even aware of... :)
Lol...it is opposite for me. I am a night owl, so during the summer, it is easy for me to want to stay up all night (quiet time!) and then want to sleep in but, with a new puppy and Viv, they don't allow me to sleep in. How do you do it??? :-)
No fun but, hey, you got a cute post out of it!
Good job turning it in to a post. ;-) I pray you got a nice long nap in today!
loved the post!!!! :) heehee sorry for the insomnia! I SO understand at times! :) You could have put look on the face of all those beautiful children!
hugs
