I've been trying for about three hours to go to sleep now and I just can't! I don't understand why I can't, I just can't. I'm getting frustrated because I'm supposed to get up early tomorrow (or is it today?) so that I can go run some errands with my mom and older brother. I've got to work on my Halloween costume and I'm supposed to babysit my almost nine month old nephew for a while and he's, as my mom says, a perpetual motion machine! He wears you out when you've had a full night's sleep. I really don't want to be awake right now. I'm tired and I know that I'll be grumpy if I don't get some sleep soon. I've also got a log day planned for in the morning.

First, we're going to be going to go get my nephew in the morning and do his mommy a favor by washing some clothes (and wash the pants that I'm going to be wearing as a part of my costume). Then, we're going out to my grandmother's to visit for a while and I'm going to have to keep the baby for a while so my mom can show her some stuff on her laptop. Sometime during the day, I'm going to have to either borrow my grandmother's sewing machine or a sewing needle and remake the t-shirt my dad bought me today into what I want it to be for my costume. I was planning on trying my costume on, makeup and all, and seeing if I could get my mom to take some pictures of me in it so I can submit them, but I don't know if I'll be able to. Then, my brother is going to take his girls to their Fall Festival and somehow or another , using just my mom's minivan, get me to church for my weekly Friday night Celebrate Recovery meeting. Oh, and if I do manage to try out my costume, I've got to take it all back off again before CR because I really don't want to be the only person to show up in costume!

All that to say: I really want to be asleep right now! </whining>
