Tiny stars

We have tiny glow-in-the-dark stars on the ceiling of our bedroom. They're barely visible in daylight, but snap off the lights in the evening, and our ceiling comes to life.

We put them there when our 25 year-old-niece was an infant. She learned to love those stars before she could talk. Who needs a pacifier when your room has stars.

I noticed those stars this morning at 4 a.m.  Someone was walking down the road in front of our house, and both dogs went berserk.

Normally I fall back to sleep instantly at that hour, but not this morning. I wasn't worried, I wasn't stressed, and I didn't have to go to the bathroom...but still I was wide awake.

Tonight I'm paying the price. It's barely 9 p.m. and listing to starboard.

It's time to say "Good night, sweet dreams."

I hope you have a remarkable weekend.

  5. The Hurricane had stars on her bedroom ceiling when we lived in Illinois. I would like to have stars, but I bet they would drive Willy Dunne Wooters crazy.

    Love,
