vacuum envy and insomnia

I always sleep well. When I lay down I fall asleep. In fact when I sit down to watch a movie at night I often fall asleep, much to my families chagrin. But the last three nights, for the first time in my life, I am having trouble sleeping. I wake up often at night and stare at the ceiling. It's very wierd. And annoying. I get up and check everyone. Think about things, toss around, read in the bathroom so not to distrub DH. I don't know why but I hope it stops.

My sister just got a new vacuum. A Dyson. My other sister has a Kirby. Sometimes I dream about a good vacuum. We seem to break vacuums a lot so we just buy the cheap-o wal-mart models. I don't think they work as well. Vacuuming is my favorite chore but really the joy is gone for me with the long line of ridiculous vacuums I have been using. I used to ask DH for a nice vacuum on birthdays and Christmas, but there was always something else we needed or wanted and it never made it to the top of the list. Sigh. Well I guess I'll just have to comfort myself with my nice kitchen-aid, and my rocking knife, and flat top stove. (while closing my eyes to the refridgerator that doesn't have ice/water on the door and the couch that Millie has chewed up and the kids have stained) Oh how I suffer ;)
