The good thing is that I don&#8217;t really need a lot of sleep, but lately I haven&#8217;t been able to fall asleep until after 2am. Since I like to get up before 6am, this is not a good thing. Waking up later puts me behind for the entire day.<\/p>\n<p>My mind just doesn&#8217;t want to turn off at night. At some point I&#8217;ll probably reset due to exhaustion, and I&#8217;m hoping that time comes soon!<\/p>\n<p>The girls had fun messaging their dad on Facebook today.
