My brain is in hibernation mode

I am not quite sure what it is but lately I have been feeling really out of it. My symptons are fatigue, forgetfulness, and stuff just doesn't register in my head as quickly as it used to. As funny as it sounds I actually feel kinda dumb or as Carlos Mencia would say...a little "dee duh dee." At first I just thought I was just having a couple off days, then I thought I was having an off week, but now its been a couple weeks and I am still in this slump. Joey even mentioned it yesterday that I just haven't been picking up on things latley. I have noticed that sometimes I just space out. But usually when someone spaces out they are thinking about something. Nope not me. I just go into space mode not thinking about anything. I used to be very quick whitted and very on top of things. I just constantly feel run down. Its not depression because I still am a really happy person and I absoutley love my life and surround myself with fun loving family and friends. So I can rule that out.

I honestly think that it could be due to the fact that I get up at 4:30am (somtimes 3:15 to wake Joey up) during the week and don't really sleep through the night.I cant remember the last time I completely slept the whole night. I usually get at least 6-7 hours of sleep so I don't think that its lack of hours. I am probably not getting quality sleep....and here are probably the reasons why:

-We have two VERY rambonxious cats who like to sometimes play on our bed and run over our heads during the middle of the night and early morning hours. And lately its been almost a very common activity of thiers no matter how much they get scolded for it. People have told me to lock them in thier bathroom at night and that is not an option. Ever since we got them as kittens they have had free roam of the house and would just meow until we let them out. And we can't close our bedroom door because they scratch and meow at the door until we let them in. They don't stop until they get what they want. They are very spoiled. So, I am just hoping they grow out of this phase soon, but am not getting my hopes up because they aren't even a year old yet. So I am telling myself that they are just preparing us for when we starting having kids since lack of a good nights sleep is prominate with babies.

-Joey likes to walk, talk, and do various things in his sleep. Don't get me wrong, they are very entertaining and I enjoy telling everyone but it also contributes to not getting quality sleep. Here is a story of the other night. We probably fell alseep at about 8:30pm because we both had to get up early. At about 10:20 I wake up to find Joey in the bathroom putting saving cream on his face as if he was getting ready to shave. I ask him what he is doing and he rudley said "getting ready for work" as if I was dumb for asking him. I can tell when he is sleeping because his eyes are barley even open and sometimes are totally closed while he is up and about. I looked at the clock and it was only 10:20pm. So I said, well actually yelled a couple of times (I have to yell in order to wake him up when he is in these modes), "Wake up Joey its only 10:20pm!!" So he blinked a little and looked at the mirror and had this "what the fuck am i doing" face. So he just finished shaving and went back to bed. Good thing he didn't shave while he was sleeping cuz that might have been bad!! Then at about 12:30am I woke up AGAIN to the shower running and him rustling around in the bathroom. So I yelled again for him to wake him up. He came to the door of the bathroom and had this "what the fuck am I doing" look on his face again. I asked if he was awake and said "Now I am." So this is just the latest story of Joey's sleeping antics. He ususally does these things in his sleep when he is really exhausted...so its just not me getting quaity sleep.

-Another thing that doesn't allow me to sleep through the night (and this maybe a TMI for some of you) is that I always have to pee at least once. I even try not to drink anything for 2 hours before bed time so I have time to empty myself, but that doesn't seem to be working. No matter what I wake up in the middle of the night and have to pee. It is almost likes its a routine now.


Sooo I am really hoping that my brain hibernation is due to the fact that I don't get quality sleep and that there is nothing else wrong with me. I don't think there is but you never know. Plus writing this blog just gave me excuse to make fun of my husband.
