Sound of Madness

Insomnia...That seems to be the diagnosis. All these thought fly through my head at night while I am trying to get to sleep. Regardless of what time I have to get up, the sleeplessness overtakes me. What do I lay and think about, you ask? Work, kids, money, what I have to do the next day, how hot/cold it is, how lumpy the bed is, how the sheet just came off the edge of the bed for the million'th time and my shoulder is now touching the mattress( I HATE THAT) .....You name it, and I will confirm that I have thought about it all!

After plugging for information, I got it out of him that he has met her on the internet. "Have you completely lost your mind giving my number out on the internet...ARE YOU INSANE!!??", was the only thing I could think to say. So being the wonderful mother that I am, reamed him about giving personal information out on the net and the dangers of it as a young person. Fine one to talk, aren't I. :) I remember as a child having "pen-pals", and writing hand written letters to people across the country. What a long way we have come since then.
