Insomnia, and Other Lovely Things

I've been suffering from absolutely ridiculous insomnia lately.  Nothing helps.  And I mean NOTHING.

I have done relaxation yoga an hour before bed.  I do breathing meditation.  I read.  I pray.  I knit.  I toss.  I turn.  I toss and turn some more.

You get the picture, right?

I'm hitting a point of complete desperation.  Homeopathic remedies don't work.  Herbal remedies don't work.  Lifestyle changes aren't helping.  I thought that as my kids got older, my sleep was supposed to improve, not get worse.

No such luck.

So instead, I spend my time between tossing and turning thinking about blog posts, my Etsy store, and knitting projects.

Right now, I have four projects going which is totally contradictory to my post earlier this week about knitting monogamy.  I am very organized however, and am making steady progress on each one.  I'm working on Citron, Saroyan, Garterlack Dish Cloth, and The Dumpling Bag.  I used to joke that I got everything done that I do because I don't sleep... but I did sleep a lot more then than I do now.  So now I should be getting even more done, right?  Yeah, that's not really the case.

In other news, I'm trying to plan out what handmade craft shows I will be a vendor at this year.  If you are in the Southeast and have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them!  I'm trying to arrange my workload and decide what I am going to offer.  Hopefully I'll have some new things available in my Etsy store too!

I said hopefully, people.  Don't get too excited.

Last but not least, I'm glad to finally bid Adieu to the month of February.  While there have certainly been many beautiful events this month, we have also shed more than a few tears.  Thank you to everyone who has offered prayers and wishes of support and love not only for my family but also for those I love who have experienced pain over these last few weeks.

And with that, I'm very excited to see what next month has to offer!

Love, hugs, and blessings,
The Mama
