Do I know what time it is? Yeah, I do. It’s the time of the night where I should be happily sleeping alongside my darling husband and son. Instead, I’m wide awake with a throbbing headache, restless legs and a brain that won’t stop thinking.
I’m making lists, recounting the days events, trying to figure out what to do for dinner and Brent’s lunch, all the while it’s 1am and I know I should be sleeping because I have to be up for a 9.30 Strollersize at the mall. And I have to put on dinner in the crockpot before I leave the house {plus have a shower, do my hair and make-up, get the munchkin ready and still eat something}.
But I can’t stop my brain from working. It works overtime at hours such as these. This is the Witching Hour in which {ha!} I get my best ideas, inspirations and stories. I’ve already decided that I’ll write two children’s stories, alter two maternity dresses and a sweater I bought, sew a quilt for Shannen to play on and some new pillows for the couches.
Could I manage anything else in this restless head of mine? Probably. Will I ever get sleep? Maybe. How do you help yourself settle when you’ve got too much on your mind?

I am a horrible knitter….just awful…I have come to accept that lol I am doing a calendar for Children’s Hospital Cleft Clinic for charity and would like some knitted items as props. Some little characters and some cute baby hats. Willing to pay! Let me know if you’re interested
I figured with Shannen you would be far too busy however it doesn’t hurt to throw the idea at ya!
