My Last Night Alone
When my kids are gone, I can't go to bed. Oh...I get tired alright. I just can't make myself go to bed. I don't know why...but it's always like this when they are away. I stay up..procrastinating climbing into the bed, until I realize it's way too late to be up. Once I'm in bed, I flip channels and flip channels and flip channels until I catch myself nodding off. Then, and only then, can I turn off the tv and go to sleep. Then of course morning comes early and I'm tired the rest of the day. I'll be glad when they are home tomorrow...maybe I can get a good night's sleep.
