Am I getting old? Or Insane? Hard to tell…
Category: Grumblecakes |

Yesterday, I started waking up around 3am. When I saw how early it was (damn time change) I tried to go back to sleep but it was pointless. I finally got out of bed a little after 4am, which is normally when I’d first start to wake up (damn time change). I don’t remember ever being phased by time changes before, my sleep clock being pretty resilient. But last night? I fell asleep halfway through Heroes (don’t spoil it!) and started waking up around 3:30am. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME. MAKE IT STOP.

Hopefully I can stay up late enough tonight to shift my sleep cycle into reasonable territory. The trick-or-treating and the overdosing-on-candy should help my cause a bit. And hopefully toting around a lobster all night will be enough of a workout to erase the effects of the aforementioned candy eating. Or at least that’s what I’ll tell myself when I inform my family that we’re having Miniature Butterfingers and Candy Corn for dinner.

    You guys are going to have so much fun with NikkiZ looking so adorable. I can just see the adoring throngs. Has LilZ outgrown costumes or is he joining in?

    I, too, have been struggling with the freakin time change. I WANT MY SLEEP BACK, darnit!

    The costume is too cute! Happy Halloween!

    I think it is very important to always serve veggies (candy corn) with your protein(butterfingers). I would say fish(swedish) is an important Halloween food as well. Add a side of jelly BEANS or boston baked beans and call it a full course meal.

    Oh me too! I don’t know what’s going on this time around but I’ve been in bed by 8:30 2 nights in a row, and I’m waking up at 3 am. Yup, exactly one hour early.
    Where can file our complaints?

    I woke up at 1:30 and made chili at 3 a.m. because I was still awake, dammit.

    I hope I can make it through tonight, too!

    Oh, I know just how you feel about the clocks falling back. i’ve felt jet-lagged since the weekend — how is it possible? I’ve no reason for it at all!

    I hope the lobster managed to tire you out so that your system righted itself. (I LOVE that costume! It reminds me of a scene in the Hitchhiker’s Guide [the book], I think in the fourth one… Asolutely brilliant!)
