Tonight, however, I went to bed at 9:30pm and woke up at 1:30am. I laid there for about 15 minutes and felt my leg muscles tightening up -- should have stretched before and after the treadmill last night. When I reached down to try to massage some of the aching muscles, I realized it's been a while since I'd shaved my legs. And I have to be at the gym to meet Fr. Kyle at 7am.
So I did what any insomniac would do. I got up, took a hot bath, and shaved my legs. When I was in the bathtub, I remembered that the kids have to pack their lunch for school today. And since I'm leaving for the gym before they leave for school, I got out of the tub, got dressed and went downstairs to make lunches.
Only when I got downstairs, I remembered our cupboards are pretty bare right now. But I did have some chicken drumsticks thawed it the fridge. So I decided to cook those to pack in lunch boxes. Fifty minutes at 400 degrees brings us once again to:
It's 3am. Do you know where your chicken is?

You're a chicken fairy!! Could you sneak over to my house and cook in the middle of the night for me?
Mine was tucked in the fridge, snug as a bug in its left-over container.
Wow, I have nights of no sleep, but they never included such productivity! How did you feel the rest of the day?
@Liz - Hey, you might have just figured out my Halloween costume for next fall!
@B - LOL!
@Jenny McB - A workout with the trainer and a large Diet Coke did wonders for my energy level!
It's funny. Your post reminded me of the "If you give a mouse a cookie" books....
Only it's "If you touch a leg and it's hairy..."
Too funny, Michelle beat me to it. My first thought was "If you give a mouse a cookie" too. "If you give a mom insomnia." I have those nights too, no where near as productive.
