Sleepless in O-Ville

I awoke this morning thinking to the fun evening that is planned for me and the thirty five or so other women.

Its "Ladies Campout Weekend".

No kids, no husbands and quite possibly, no sleep.

I began to panic thinking about bed time. The three women that I'm shacking up with tonight...do they snore? Oh no, I won't have my box fan/white noise. Getting older, one never knows, especially when away from home, if sleep will come. I seriously try to work it out in my head, I'll just come home late tonight and go back in the morning...

No, I can't do that. It wouldn't be the same. I decide I'm going to stay as planned.

While packing up lunches and stuff for the day ahead, I think to myself, I need some extra help (aka: drugs) to make myself sleep tonight. Hoping for some Tylenol PM or something along those lines, I come across Nyquil liqui-gels. Perfect. I'll take two of those bad boys and hopefully that will do the trick.

Then I got to thinking. How many other women are thinking the same thing? Probably 34 of 'em. I should take some extras. I could then be known as the sleep doctor or the drug dealer.

I got your backs, ladies.

I DID sleep. The Nyquil knocked me out. I hit the pillow at 2am, waking up a time or two to go to the bathroom or turn over and then awoke for the day at 7:30. If you didn't hear my description of Julia waking up (which woke me up), then ask. She was too funny.

What a fun time we had. I LOVE GateWay Ladies!

I SO regret not visiting the dealer's pad for a little of each remedy. Maybe I'd have copped a ZZ or two. LOL

Oh well, it was worth it. Thanks for being there!
