Why or why won't sleep come to me??

i cannot sleep.
it's killing me. i haven't slept a good, full night's sleep in forever.
i've been laying in bed, tossing and turning and praying.
nope, still no sleep.
so i thought i'd come here and give you an update on my day...because really, i don't know what else to do.
i read a million books to ayla.
i prepared a meal early in the day to throw in the oven for supper.
i laid down with ayla during her nap and snuggled with her and looked in her eyes and giggled. we didn't sleep. but it was nice.
i did a few loads of laundry...even folded them and put some of them in drawers.
i think we all have clean socks and underwear for tomorrow.
my dishes are all clean and put away.
i called brigg's friend's mom and asked if he could sleep over tuesday night...you know, since we missed his birthday party and all.
she obliged.
brigg was happy.
i ate oreos with the kids after school.
i sat with brigg as he practiced piano.
we all ate dinner together.
lani read to me.
i gave them all baths or showers and clipped all 30 fingernails and all 30 toenails.
i blow dried lani and ayla's hair.
i scrubbed the toilet.
and i tucked the kids in bed and scratched their back and kissed and hugged them goodnight.
i rented "The Proposal" for paul and i to watch after the kids went to bed.
we watched it.
it was a good day.
i'm back.
i think everyone was pretty happy about that.

This was a good day to read about. I like it when you give a rundown of the events taking place at the Burback casa.
