Wordless Wednesday - Hair Raising

Insomnia

When I wake up (usually for a bathroom break) but can't get back to sleep, there are a few options. Of course getting back to sleep is the ultimate goal, but sometimes it doesn't happen. So I read a book, take a bath, have a snack, watch some TV or just lie there and try to clear my brain and relax.

When you're two and cant go back to sleep, you don't have all those options. Especially when you share a room with a twin and mommy sleeps in the living room where the TV is. So instead, you get to lie in mommy's bed and keep her awake as company. The hours between 1 and 3 am seem to be perfect for this.

And what can I do? Not much. I rub his back. I sing to him. I get him water. And anytime my eyes start to drift close, I get woken with a wail or a 'mommy wake up'. Sigh. I'll deal. It's not every night, it's now down to once in a while.

This morning we played the game that goes like this:
Mommy
What Nathan
Mommy
What Nathan
Mommy
Go to sleep Nathan.
Mommy
Go to sleep Nathan
But seriously, I have never felt more like telling him.....




Only a parent could write a book like this.

FREE Books!

Seriously free. I joined SwagBucks a few years back. Since then I've been earning with every search I do. Swagbucks add up quickly. Once you have some, you can trade them in for items or gift cards. I almost always take the Amazon gift card. I've earned hundreds this way. You can also gamble your Swagbucks for the chance to win more swagbucks or giftcards for a fraction of the cost. I've won a couple of DVD sets and some Amazon gift cards this way too.

The easiest way to remember to search through is to install the toolbar. Having this installed will also get you a bonus Swagbuck every day. This adds to 365 Swagbucks which is almost enough for another Amazon gift card! If you don't install the toolbar, you can still earn by searching by searching from the main Swagbucks webpage.

Other ways to pile on the bucks includes special codes released on Twitter, Facebook or their blog. Special promotions come up often and well, the ways to earn are endless.

If you join today, you can use the code AUGUSTBONUS and get a bonus 50 swagbucks right away! Seriously, how easy can it get and who doesn't like free things!  So what are you waiting for? Go to Swagbucks now and start earning FREE books, videos or whatever else strikes your fancy.

{this moment} - A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.
