Insomnia resurrects my blog!

It's 4:30 am and no surprise, I can't sleep. Sleepless nights seem to be pretty normal around here since I've had children. My problem is that once I wake up I have a really hard time falling asleep again, and since I have a baby that sleeps in my bed and still wakes on occasion in the night to nurse, well I end up spending a lot of sleepless nights. I finally tired of tossing and turning and staring at my clock, and decided I would start a blog.

I used to have a blog many years ago but at the time I was working at a vet clinic and seemed to only write when I had something sad I needed to get out. Then I got the news that I was hoping for, I was pregnant with my first child, and I all my thoughts were consumed with the excitment of getting ready for a baby. Shortly after that my husband accepted a transfer and we found out that we were moving from Vancouver to a small town up North. With so much on the go my blog was inevitably forgotten.

I considered writing again after my son was born but just never seemed to find the time.I couldn't even remember what blog site I had used until tonight when I went to create a new blog and my old one just kind of popped up. I was going to start fresh since I am at a very different place in my life as I was back then, but I didn't want to lose my old blog and I am not sure if I am computer savy enough to link the two of them together, so I am just going to continue on as if there was not a 3.5 year gap in my writing.

I'm not sure how often I will write as I would most certainly rather be sleeping at this early hour, but it is kind of nice to have a quiet moment to myself. Quiet moments are few and far between in a house with kids, and once "thing one" and "thing two" wake up there will be no quiet for another 12-14 hours.

It took me awhile to figure out this blog thing again, and it is now 5:30. I'm feeling sleepy again, so despite the fact that I really haven't said much yet, I think I will try to go back to sleep for a bit. Good Night!
