You ever been so physically and mentally exhausted that you can't sleep?

Well, this is one of those times.  We're on the second week of bible camp.  It's only Wednesday and I am toast.

The camp is outdoors and frankly, I am no longer used to be being outdoors.  I don't know what happened to me but it's just draining me. 

So, here I am blogging at 3am.  I have no sleep in me, yet I have to be up in a few hours to wrangle little kids through a hectic morning schedule in the great outdoors.

I'm not complaining; merely stating fact.

Since I am rambling at three am, I should add that I rented the movie "Motherhood" a week ago and really enjoyed it.  It's definitely one of those off the beaten path movies.  It has Umma Thurman and Minie Driver in it (yes, I misspelled them on purpose).  The movie is very realistic about what motherhood is like in today's world.  You know how there are cult movies - movies that people get together to watch over and over again?  Well, I think Motherhood is easily one of those movies.  A movie that mommies get together and watch over bottles of tequila and cigars!  Seriously, it's not for everyone, but it's definitely a must-see for mom's with little ones who are juggling it all.

So, I decided we're going to paint BG's room next week.  That won't be a small feat as her walls will need a coat or two of primer before painting.  I told her that we already have blue paint for the walls.  She was very excited to inform me that she would like her room to be an under the sea theme.  When she said that, I remembered the under water decoration in the movie "Mermaids."  Remember that scene, when they decorate the younger sister's room?  I know I'm not up to that!  So, I did a quick search online and found this.  Isn't it adorable?  And they're removable if and when she gets bored with it.

Now the only thing is where will she sleep while her room is being painted?  Hmn... perhaps I will need to arrange a sleep over or two somewhere...  It'd be more fun to do her room a la "while you were out," wouldn't it?  What a fun surprise that would be?  But I know it will take me a few days to get it done...

Someone please invent a sleep shot...  The worse part about insomnia is knowing that you're awake at the wee hours of the morning and have to be up and at 'em soon!!

Sweet dreams!
