Living with Insomnia

March8

Living with insomnia means living in a world with only shades of grey, when other people see colors.

Living with insomnia means living in slow motion and even the most mundane tasks are overwhelming.

Living with insomnia means that even the sound of laughter is cacophony and painful to your ears.

Living with insomnia means you forget things, all kinds of things, like the things you need from the grocery store and also birthdays.

Living with insomnia means it takes all morning to wake up.

Living with insomnia means that thinking about sleeping and thinking about not sleeping rob you of the time you are awake.

Living with insomnia means using up your mental and spiritual energy just trying to survive the day.

I'm Cass. I am a full-time mom to eight great children, a Christian and a blogger. I'm also a knitter, a reader and a movie watcher. And a collector of eclectic oddities.

For the first time in 18 and a half years, I have my own little corner again. Somewhere along the way, I seem to have lost myself, and now that I realize I'm missing, I'm on the look out for me. You maybe don't know what that means, but then again, maybe you do. Regardless, this is where I'll be when I'm not being a mother or a knitter. This is where I'll be just me. And if no one ever reads it, that's ok. I'll know it's here.
