1:30 again

Funny how at night I lay in bed, can't get to sleep, so I figure I'll try and read some stuff on the internet or play a game on my computer to attempt to make me tired... it rarely works. So I stay up til some ungodly middle of the night hour, generally after 2 but before 6, and wake up at some late morning hour, generally after 7:30 but before 10. Then I go through my day, doing chores, cooking food, taking care of my babes, taking care of my grandfather, just doing what needs to be done. And usually some time between 7PM and 9PM I am so tired I could just fall right on over. It sometimes happens right after I finish eating dinner, other times it waits til after I get dinner cleaned up. At that time I think to myself, it's a bit early to put the kids to bed now, because they'll be up at 5 and I will want to lock them in a cage, so I can't let myself fall asleep now... but I can try and go to bed early, I'll go to sleep when they do between 9 and 10.
But sleep doesn't come. I'm not tired between 9 and 10. However, I get in bed anyway. And I lay here, and lay here, and lay here. Bored and exhausted, but not sleepy.
And the cycle continues... up until 2 or 3 or 4, awake at 7 or 8 or 9.

The one benefit of my insomnia is that my scouring the internet has given me many great ideas for things I want to accomplish.

I think I want a table saw.
But for now the circular will have to do.
