Perpetually Chasing Sleep

I'm writing early in the hopes that I can actually get some decent rest tonight. Seems as though I'm perpetually chasing sleep these days. Usually because of my own faults. Today it's because I stayed out late, then got up early to see the kids off to school. Today was their first day back, and there's no way I wasn't going to be awake for that! Once everyone was on the bus, I was fully awake (albeit miserable, and slightly hung over) so Snookums and I decided to go grab some coffee, lunch, and he wanted to go find some cargo pants for work. The weather is about to turn and he's been wearing shorts. We had no luck (because he's so tall). I'll wait another week and see if the Big and Tall section in JCPenney's gets some in, or I may have to look online. I hate online shopping, but sometimes it's necessary.

On our (somewhat endless) quest for Snookums' pants, we found ourselves in Gig Harbor at Marshall's. I like that store. I wish it wasn't as far away as it is. Gig Harbor isn't all that far, but it isn't exactly close either. Snookums found me a vegan cookbook, and I got Kiki some little crop top/sport bra things. She's starting to develop, but not enough to need a real bra. I found a cute tunic, but no pants for Snookums. I felt bad from him, he doesn't exactly enjoy shopping. Knowing what you want and not being able to find it is the worst. By then it was getting close to the kids coming home, so we headed back to Poulsbo.

All evening I've been struggling to stay away until a decent bedtime. If I go to bed too early, then I'll wake up at 4am for no good reason. But tomorrow I'm meeting up with Selena at 8am, so I do need to get up somewhat early. I really hope I'm able to get sleep tonight. I'm not feeling as sleepy as I was a couple of hours ago, which is disconcerting. I guess I could smoke, but I haven't been doing that lately. I'm still torn about it.

I just downloaded the my-diary app, so there may be a test entry at some point tonight. I'm curious to see if it makes writing entries on my phone easier. Every now and then I have a thought I'd like to jot down, or a thought I'd like to expand on, but I forget by the time I sit down to write at night.
