Bedtime Brain Drain

Do you have trouble sleeping? Then you and I are in the same boat. 
I have tried teas, mood lighting, sound machines (which I just LOVE)...and even some over the counter sleep aid. Finally, I was prescribed something to help sleep.  
Overall, I CAN sleep. My problem is turning my brain off at night. Take right now for instance, I should be sleeping, but instead, this time of night has turned in to 'How to save the world and all it's problems and still try to get 6 hours."
As I try to settle down and get ready to sleep, I have already come up with ways to improve my job, fix the budget crisis, and be super mom. Don't we all wear those shoes everyday????
Mom, wife, friend, employee, mentor, daughter, and it keeps going on and on.  
So, I wear myself out as I doze off hoping that some of the grand ideas which wander through my dreams will be fresh on my mind the next morning.
At night I really do have clues to the great solutions I want to put into place. 
I don't know if the morning clarity hides my key to implementation or if they appear different in the light of day.

First Baseball Game

I love going to games with Gabe....yes am a huge sports fan, but if I want to spend anytime with him, then I make the decision to join him at the game or sit at home. I have been introduced to some amazing people and have fallen in love with Orange County. (Being a Nederland girl at heart, it is nice to know that I CAN support other teams) but still bleed BLACK and GOLD. We traveled far into the playoffs last year with Orangefield and Bridge City. After that emotional end to the season, it was nice to take a break for a while, but the spring time weather just screams baseball season along with the smell of fresh-cut grass. So tonight I ventured out to my first game of the season. The weather was slightly cooler than I expected but once we were sitiuated in our box we didn't notice . The sounds and smells of the ballpark were what I came for. The clanging of the bats, the concession stand food, and the cheering and jeering of the fans just adds to the experience. Ahhh, it was a great first night of baseball.
