Insomnia

What's the deal with all the insomnia lately? Last night Gman was up most of the night saying he couldn't sleep. Tagging along with his insomnia would be my "non-self-imposed" insomnia because I kept chasing him back to bed. I went as far as to crawl in to bed with him and sleep there so I could feel him when he got up. Finally at 5:00 a.m. I gave up and just let him get up for the day so I could survive on the small amount of sleep I could get between 5:00 a.m. and 6:30 when I wake up for the day.
The day actually went quickly and smoothly for the most part. I enjoyed a little nap when I got home and now I'm tired but not tired enough to sleep. For some reason I'm anxious tonight. I'm feeling a little unrest and bored with life right now. Spring break is on the horizon and I'm sure that has something to do with it.

I firmly believe that in a past life I was a gypsy or some sort of wanderer. Even though I am rooted in one place, I often feel like I need to explore somewhere new. I've had this need since I was a child and have fulfilled this need within me since I took my first trip alone when I was 18 years old. Often times the place I migrate towards has some sort of significant source of water.

I often find myself browsing travel websites for affordable deals to destinations I've often thought I'd like to see. Last year I took Gman and traveled to San Francisco. We were there for 5 days and didn't see nearly enough of the city. I'd have taken him and gone to the ocean again this year but the need for a different car overshadowed funds for travel. So I sit here tonight, dreaming of a far away new and exotic place. As I close my eyes I will pray for some really affordable hotel\airfare combo as spring break approaches so I can satisfy this urge within me to travel.

I'm hoping with summer approaching that I will be able to find an appropriate summer job to perhaps fund an end of the summer vacation with my kiddo. Until that time, I will immerse myself in books with lavish scenes of faraway places.
