Update on my insomnia; plus a good book
Thank you all for your many prayers and well wishes with regard to my insomnia. I'm working on it. I have been trying some over the counter medicine that seems to be helping. Plus, hubby and I are working on getting Little G to sleep alone in his bed.
He needs to sleep through the night before the start of kindergarten next week or I'm not sure he will survive his LONG day.
Last night was one of our first big successes, but it is a slow process.
He is still very cranky! Which isn't helping any one's mood.
Last week I finished a great book that I really enjoyed so I thought I would share it with all of you.
Peeled is a clever young adult novel written by an award wining author.
This mystery takes place in a quiet little apple orchard town. The main characters are in high school and write the school newspaper. They end up breaking the big news story about the legendary haunted house and all of the not-so-savvy deals going on in town.
I thought it was very clever and I loved the writing references throughout (as well as all of the apple references.)
A very quick, refreshing read.
What are you reading?

Busy hands, busy mind
I find if you want to take you mind off of things, the best thing to do is craft. Here is a photo of the popcorn boxes I made using TBBM. They are cut at 5 inches. The matching tag is cut at 2 inches. Sorry about the quality of the picture. Inside are a half dozen homade chocolate coins. They are my kids favorite...white chocolate with peppermint on top.
Just think...pretty soon I can start on the bus driver sets. LOL
These are the teacher cards I'm working on. They have been well received in the past, but as you can see from the photos there is an endless amount of them. A problem that occurs when you have three kids, some with more than one teacher.
I'm all about useful or edible presents. The cards will get some stitching tomorrow and I'll post pictures of the finished product.
