But not a sparkly one. Because vampires don't sparkle. Or glitter, or whatever.
Okay, so maybe that's not true. The part about me turning into a vampire. The other part is definitely true. Vampires don't sparkle. But, I don't seem to be able to sleep at night anymore. I sleep mostly from sometime early in the morning, until as late as I can manage. On the weekend that seems to be between 10:00 and 10:30. On the days when Michael works, I have to be up by 9:00 because I have to give my goats hay and unfrozen water. While 9:00 or 10:00 might sound luxuriously late to you, please bear in mind that I often don't go to sleep until 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning, and then I tend to wake up between 6:00 and 7:00 for a while, just for fun. Whether I nap during the day or not makes no difference. Yesterday I took a mid-afternoon nap, and I had a really hard time going to sleep. Today I did not take a nap at all, and I still am having a hard time going to sleep. Normally I'd have taken something by now (lying awake in bed for four hours isn't my idea of a fun time), but since I'm pregnant, I can't. Well, I suppose I technically could, but I shouldn't. Either way, the result is the same. Me awake at 1:30 in the morning.
Also, my baby apparently likes midnight snacks. Maybe that's why I can't go to sleep any earlier than I do. I have to awake for snack time. Tonight I decided I would try warm milk. Except I don't really like plain warm milk, so I made hot cocoa instead. Yes, I use milk to make hot cocoa, because it's delicious. I also use a Starbucks cocoa mix that my mom got me that only has cocoa, sugar, and vanilla and if you try to use water it doesn't taste good (or so I'm told). Before I got that, I would just use my own cocoa, sugar, and vanilla, but the premixed kind is nice, because I only have to measure one thing instead of three.
So, I think I'm getting tired enough to go back to bed now.
