Blogging in my brain....

So, after switching the computer off last night and going to bed, I begin to blog again in my brain...1.06am...why did I switch the computer off?!!
I contemplate getting out of bed and switching it back on to get it all down, then worry that my other half will walk in in the middle of my blog and cart me off the the funny farm...'proof she is a mad woman!' would be the cries.
Not wanting to chance it, I find some paper and jot down my thoughts.....

Why is it I have a mad urge to clean my house? Seriously, I am rearranging the furniture downstairs, putting the mountain that is my sons toys stashed behind the sofa away in neat boxes, never to be played with again - ok, for months - and do a mental floor plan - one sofa hear, other there, could I get away with moving the display cabinet (which I hate but is inherited), table there, playpen there, kids toys here....on it goes. My mind is all up for it, shame my body wasn't as willing! Though I think the thing that really clinched it was it is probably not a great idea to start vacuuming the house at 1am in the morning, not good for neighbourly relations! Otherwise, I think my brain might have won the battle!

This was all started (the conversation with myself...) with the idea of talking to strangers, them asking me a question and me staring back as if they had asked me to slap them round the face with a wet fish...where does all this come from???!!

So I fight with my brain telling it to switch off, put down the pen and attempt to sleep....
The last time I looked at the clock it was 3am...then woken by my son at 4.15am, again at 5.30 am, and up for a pee at 6.35, wondering if something awful has happened to my other half due to his absence....

In he strolls through the door at 6.45am, by which time my son is wide awake and ready to play....getting no response from us trying to grab a few seconds more much needed sleep, he decides to turn the light on in the baby's room and wake her up...sigh. No good, have to get up now....

So began my day. And, when I have finished this, I am off to do my floor plan! It's gotta be done!

The morning after the night before....

So, after switching off the computer and climbing into bed to sleep...my brain fills with 101 things to blog - typical!

By 2.30am I tell the voice in my head that has all the great ideas and witty remarks that never seem to come out when I am in public, that I really MUST go to sleep now...oh, but don't forget our conversation so that I can blog about it tomorrow...And what happens? I forget half...ok all of it! Why is that?

So, after having at least 6 great witty, insightful comments...I can't think of one! But, fear not, I will try for all of you out there (ok, for anyone, anyone? out there who has stumbled on a mad woman's ramblings)

Why is it (or is it just me?) that you have great conversations with yourself in your brain? But when it comes to getting things out in public, you turn into a bumbling, nothing to say, uninspiring person?

And why can't I sleep at night? I tossed and turned most of the night, half of it dreaming about my blog and what I would write (only to forget it!) and half of it wondering if it was time to get up, as then I would probably fall asleep!

Ah well, I suppose the lesson is, when the inspiration comes...BLOG! Just a shame my inspirational moments are when I am supposed to be sleeping! This will not help me get my life in order...

So, unless I have a bolt of inspiration tonight, I will post tomorrow hopefully with something more worthy!
