10:00pm: Decide to fall asleep. End up laying in bed for an hour, wide awake, with thoughts floating in my head.
Sometime around 2am: Get woken up by husband, for various reasons, including getting kneed or smacked. Wake him up or push him back to his side, then try to fall asleep.
Sometime around 4am: Wake up freezing cold because Hubby has rolled himself up in the bed linens like a burrito, leaving me laying on a bare mattress. End up getting a mini shoulder workout, trying to pull the covers back to my side. Make mental note to purchase more flannel pjs. Go back to sleep.
5:30am: Get woken up by Hubby's alarm clock, which doesn't wake him up. Kick him until he gets outta bed. Sigh when he hits the snooze and crawls back in bed for five more minutes. Try to fall back asleep as he schleps through the house while getting ready for work.
6:30am: Get pleasantly woken up by Hubby when he kisses me goodbye. Still wake up if he doesn't kiss me goodbye and instead slams the door. Try to fall back asleep.
7:00am: Finally fall back asleep.
7:01am: Get woken up by both boys, climbing on top of me, demanding orange juice and Cheerios, pushing each other, and eventually screaming and crying.
7:02am: Kick the boys out of my room and tell them to go play with toys in the living room until I get up.
7:30am: Give up after laying in bed for 28 minutes, listening to two little boys try to kill each other / burn the house down, when I really wanted to be sleeping. Silently cheer when I realize there's a hot pot of coffee ready for me, courtesy of Mr. Coffee's delay mode.
8:00am: Look forward to bed time.

I'm sorry you're not sleeping ... but it's funny in the sense I could have written it. Honestly, all my problems came to a cease fire when we bought a king sized bedroom set.
I don't know if a king sized bed would solve much- Hubby is a middle-of-the-bed sleeper. Besides, he subconsciously finds ways to wake me up, like pinning me down at 2am to tell me that I can't use his truck and I have to use the Jeep... we don't own a Jeep. I realized he did this all while sleeping! I think he just needs to retire from the Navy. :)
I wake up to my 5 month old puppy scratching his too-long nails down my back at 5 AM. If I'm lucky he'll lie back down but if he does, he pants in my face until I get up and let him out. And as I try to stand up through my shower without falling back asleep, I'm calculating how many hrs utnil I can get back in bed!
Hope you get some good sleeps soon!
Okay. Living parallel lives. My last post is along the same lines. Good Lord do I miss sleep
