The last time I can remember was when I was in the hospital for kidney stones two and a half years ago. I was in pain and the nurses kept coming in to check my vitals what seemed like every few minutes. The pain and the interruptions is what kept me from sleeping. I had surgery to get those things out later in the next day.

Even though I have a hard time sleeping now I do sleep for a few hours

Up all night? July of 2012 when I had to spend the night at O'Hare airport. I should have called you!

Man...not since I had a sick baby. Probably 2002. I don't do well staying up all night.

Ironically, my last "up all night" story also features O'Hare, but it was July 2010, I think. I am soooo not nocturnal.

I have to go back about 20 years - I was a chaperone for an After Prom Party. I doubt that I could be awake that long now.

Last night! I could not freaking sleep at all I felt like I was going to jump out of my skin. I had to be up at 5:20 to wake up my youngest for school and I will be going strong working, etc until evening. Wah! I am a baby when I don't get any sleep. The last time I did not even close my eyes, two summers ago on a night flight to Amsterdam.
Hugs,
Meredith

OTHER than night shifts- my last one was about two weeks ago- the last time I stayed up all night was about 1 year ago when I couldn't sleep a wink during my last night in my apartment in Edgewater- little did I know the wonderful things to come!

I had gone to a Gospel Concert in Windsor CT in Oct. 2012 with some friends from church. We drove up leaving at 3:30pm and drove back right after the concert was over..... I pulled into my driveway at 4:30am!!!! It was just an awesome experience!

I am so much a night-person, but have had to adjust to regular schedule. All night? I guess when I stayed at the hospital with my mom after heart surgery. Perhaps I slept a few minutes here and there, but it did not seem like it. That was 2 years ago.

I was up all night on December 21, 2012 waiting for my first grandchild to be born. I sat in a hard chair in the hospital waiting room fidgeting from 6 pm the night before until my son called at 5:30 am the next morning to say the baby was here. I went in and held the little guy for about 10 minutes and then drove all the way home for a good hour and half. I have no idea how I did it but I'm glad I did.

Seriously all night? Um - all night? I can't remember that's how old I am - it's been a long, long time. Just last week I was up until 3:30 a.m. Does that count? g

When my oldest daughter came home from college for the first time during her 1st semester. We stayed up all night talking! It was great!

Up most of the night with our 14-year old Golden Retreiver, Holly. Poor thing...she has her nights and days mixed up.

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
