SLEEP!

I really need to get on a decent sleeping schedule. My fiance has been working 2nd shift for the past couple of months and I find myself unable to sleep without knowing he is in the house. So here I sit, awake, till the wee hours of the night. My mind races with all kinds of thoughts and I just cannot settle. I already have pretty bad anxiety and lack of sleep does not help the situation. I tried calming CD's as well as other methods to clear my mind and it just doesnt work. I am not at all a pill taker, so I refuse to take sleeping pills. I wish he could just get on 1st shift, but that is not possible. On a more positive note, I try to keep myself busy with knitting and other things to keep my mind occupied from the fact I am alone at home with the kids in the house all night. I think I am doing a good job considering my anxiety level is through the roof. Anyways, I am going to try and go to sleep again after I try and soothe myself with a nice hot cup of cocoa. At least blogging this helped for a few minutes...hahaha. Woo! Sleep here I come hopefully ;)
