I couldn't sleep! (vent)

DH had to work today.  His alarm went off at 4 am.  I woke up too and was laying there making a mental list of everything that needs to be done in the next week.

I have our make ahead meal exchange Friday that I need to make 10 meals of something.

We have our neighbor holiday GTG Friday that I need to make 2-3 batches of southwest egg rolls for.

Having a friend over for lunch Thursday for her Birthday.

Saturday we are having DH's 40th Birthday which I am making a huge pot of pulled pork for, need to get the cake, chips, buns and frui/veggie trays for.

I woke up to DD3 yelling for me and am so tired.  In my mind at 4 am, I was making a list of what to get at the store for Friday's meals so I can make them ahead.  Grocery lists in your head at 4 am do not work.  :o(  I've also been fighting a cold for a week and woke up to one lymph node swollen, where the opposite one is normal.

    Wow, that sounds like a lot to accomplish even when you aren't fighting sickness.  Good luck getting everything done and I hope you can get some rest too!

    I hate when my mind makes it hard to sleep. I sometimes wake up around 3am and everything I could worry about, I do. I eventually fall back asleep and in the morning, those problems don't seem as big. Good luck and let caffeine be your friend.

    Thanks.  I have coffee right now.  I am thinking white chicken chili for the meal exchange.  I can go get the ingredients for that and the egg rolls and get those made today/tomorrow before the girls go back to school and life gets crazier.

    Of course, I also need to run today (like everyday).  I think I have 3.5 miles to go to have 120 miles for December - Of course I need 4.5 to make 1035 for the year though...

    I have my shopping list made (on paper this time!) and 2.5 lbs of chicken breast in the oven for the white chicken chili.
