Turkey burgers with blue cheese or cheddar today. *flips burgers*
I used counting to fall asleep last night. I didn't count anything in particular, just needed to focus my mind on something else. I got a thought in my head about work and it wouldn't go away.
I need to call my sister and see how she is doing. She's finally figured out that working as a preschool teacher isn't going to provide for her and the boys long term, and that she can't be a great parent if she's around other kids all day long. She hasn't job searched for anything other than preschool and daycare jobs. Ever. But she's ready now, and I need to support her.
In other random news, I've been reading a lot lately. My three most recent reads were My Friend Leonard (Frey), The Camel Club (Baldacci) and The Mephisto Club (Gerristen). I guess I'm into clubs. I'm now reading The Book of Fate (Meltzer). I think I need some non-fiction next. I've toyed around with having a quarterly book club with my local friends. Quarterly seems very doable for people. That way, we still have plenty of time to read other stuff on our own, and nobody feels too rushed.

This blog is a collection of things on my mind. Could be serious, could be rambling idiocy. I invite you all to read, debate, ridicule, *whack*, and even give me a little love.

I get work thoughts in my head that keep me awake fairly often. Sometimes I have to get up and stretch or get a drink of water to make them go away.
I love burgers with blue cheese. I've been avoiding blue cheese, but after my doctor visit yesterday I decided to splurge, and had a lettuce wedge with blue cheese dressing, which I figure isn't really blue cheese anyway. It tasted so good.
Good for your sister taking a step toward being a better parent. Good for you for being there to support her.
I haven't been reading as much as I'd like, lately. I think I need to find a book group to join, because I like to discuss. I read The Kite Runner along with OT last summer and enjoyed following the discussion (but I started later than most so I didn't join in.)
Mmmm. Cheddar for me, please.
Now I'm hungry for a turkey burger from Ruby Tuesdays.
I count to fall asleep a lot. My mind races at night and I need something to focus on. I count from 1-100 and then back from 100-1. Many, many times. I also practice saying the alphabet backwards.
Good luck to your sister. I hope she finds something that will make both her and the kids happier.
I go through phases of reading. Right now I'm in a non-reading phase. I have a Stephen King book that I started, but I haven't picked it up in quite a few days.
Anything rote helps me to fall asleep. Sometimes I think of all my clothes, naming the pants (not real names, it's by color) or the shirts or socks. Or I'll name all the contestants on Survivor or TAR.
LOL, Puffy! I've never heard those before!
If I had to count anything at all to sleep I would never want to lay my head on a pillow! Counting anything is the last thing I would think of or do. I have a couple of happy fantasylands I go to.
Preschool & daycare are not well paying jobs - that's for sure. I guess I never thought about it reducing one's ability to be a good parent. The teachers I know are pretty darn good parents. Maybe this is just another proof that your sister should be in a different profession?
I just finished reading Lisey's Story by Stephen King and I loved it! His best book in quite a while.
My sister is just stressed from being around kids all day and then coming home to the three boys. I think she's spent so much energy focusing on other people's kids during the day, she lets the boys do whatever they want at night.
Good for your sister. I wish her the best of luck. It's never easy to convince a prospective employer that you desperately need a career change and you can do the job they are hiring for.
I've been reading some lately. Most are just fluff type Nora Roberts and Luann Rice books. It's been a good escape.
I think that focusing your mind on something boring instead of everyday problems helps to fall asleep.
