Happy New Year!!! NYE was the only night i could sleep without using the aid of cold medicine... since then-Nothing!!! Grrr! Good news is that I have 2 new clients and a brand new schedule for the Spring! =) Yeah I did my first day with a new client and one i've seen a few times before. The first kiddo is SO Cute! i seriously could take (it) home with me! Got to keep my kiddos under wraps! I had a lot of fun, this kiddo i'll see three times a week! I am excited! Although not excited to drive 40 miles only to work at 830 in the AM!!! But hey it's a job! But the downside of the job is all the drive time and miles that are being added to my Holly Hyundai! Yup she has a name! =) But i am super excited since i am new to the case, the first few times i see my client it's all about building trust; and today i think i nailed it! The dad gave me an A+!!! Whoo Hoo!!! Super stoked!
Although i worked and traveled about 70 miles in one day which i literally SAW all of San Diego County, i am still not tired! Well i am TIRED but my brain says Nope, no sleep for you! I did get a call from my doc about my bloodwork that came back... My vitamin D levels are low, and she thinks that will help my sleep habits! Here's hoping! I still need to go and get some Vitamin D, but i am optimistic that it'll work! if not i think i will go insane!!!! I can't go to sleep when my husband does, because it now takes me at least 2 hours to fall asleep, which means if i want to go to bed by 11 i have to be in bed trying to sleep at 9! I got home at 7!! That leaves a small window to ask and converse with my husband about both our days! Freakin Sucks!!! So the last few weeks either i've been on the couch watching randoms movies, or he plays Xbox for a while and comes in when i've "hopefully" fallen asleep. It's really hard to fall asleep when your eyes and body say I'm tired, but your mind doesn't allow you to sleep! So here i am writing this and watching Dirty Dancing! Which probably isn't the best movie to watch since the music makes me want to dance away this not sleeping business!!!
I think our new neighbors may suffer from insomnia as well... There tv is blaring! Oh did i mention they live below us!?!?!?! The good thing i am looking forward to tomorrow is my chiropractor apt! Can the next few years just speed by to when i'm super busy with kids, schedules, apts, etc? Then it could be 20something and i could be busy with the wonders of having kiddos =)
I think i talk more on here, than i have all day! :) don't ask how that's possible! haha. Well i am going to get back to Dirty Dancing!

i just want to sleep
Since November i've been not able to sleep.... SO i know a lot of people blog, maybe this will help my mind feel at ease and i'll get to tell everyone the days i've been having as a new Behavior Therapist. Most days are pretty much the same, but on the rare occasion i have some crazy days!
Last week was the first crazed day. We live in an area called North Park of San Diego, which is pretty close to downtown, I got put onto a case that is up in Carlsbad, about 30 miles North of where we live.... that begins the crazy wednesday i had. My session hours were from 300-5:30. I arrive at the house as usual but when the mother answers the door, she explains that there must be some confusion because she canceled services today... Confused as she was, i called the office and the person who does scheduling isn't in that day... FANTASTIC. I totally remember speaking with her on Monday about a fill in with the client, and knew i was right because i wrote it down. Thank the Lord for iPhone's saving even deleted messages, because there it was! I listened i called back, i got paid "Office" rate instead of therapy rate, but still got paid basically for driving to and from Carlsbad. However it sure did ruin my day. From there at least the rest of week happened as normal.
However at night not so much! I cannot seem to fall asleep or stay asleep. Which if you know me, I need, need, need my sleep. My body and not getting enough sleep i always get sick. So not getting 7-8 hours a night, really is screwing up everything. At first i would get up and watch/put on Harry Potter, a for sure knock out for me, but i hadn't seen Year 1 in forever, so that was a bust! Didn't end up sleeping until 4am. Long sleepless nights short, i've watched all the way up to year 7!
now, i'm on to long somewhat boring movies or movies that i haven't seen in a while but know that at 3am, will help me forget focusing on not being able to sleep, but tonight i've chosen Eat, Pray, Love. Maybe with Julia Roberts finding her life, i'll be able to find some sleep! =)
well this is the first of i think many sleepless nights.
