I miss sleep

So much for updating the blog daily. I'll be lucky if I can write once per week! I have more homework than I know what to do with, and with the long commutes, there simply aren't enough hours in the day. And I am exhausted! This week has been particularly rough because my husband, Steve, is away on a business trip. I don't sleep very well when he's not around to begin with but because this was the first time I've had to be alone in a house (as opposed to an apartment), it simply isn't possible for me to relax enough. The first night he was gone, after laying in bed for an hour with the light on and startling at every little noise I heard, I gave up and went to sleep at my in-laws', where I've been sleeping every night since. But I'm still falling asleep late and then having to get up at 5:00. I don't know how I got through high school on five hours of sleep a night because I feel like I'm dying.

Thankfully, tomorrow is Friday and I can stay in bed until whenever I want! And Steve is coming home tomorrow. I'm so excited it feels like Christmas Eve. Unfortunately, my sister-in-law, whose bed I've taken over this week, is coming home from college for the weekend. So tonight my options are to sleep on a couch with the comforting illusion of safety provided by being in the company of others, or to sleep in my warm, spacious bed that I miss so much with paranoid delusions of boogeymen coming to get me. It's kind of a gamble. Not sure what I'm going to decide.
