sleepless nights, racing minds

so i have a feverish baby. She has been unwell the last few days and will not seem to sleep unless perched precariously on my shoulder. Even when she seems so soundly asleep, after snoozing there for what seems an eternity, the minute i try to put her into her basinette, awake.

That moment i think, "gee, i might finally get to......" awake.

"maybe ill just fold that...." awake.

Perhaps i will get to the washing. It can wait. Perhaps i will return the penpal letters i have put off for what seems for ever. They will be worth the wait.  Perhaps i might organize my photos in an effort to actually upload some. They are saved. Perhaps i might get into the poor neglected sewing room.Oh, that can wait.  Perhaps i will get to work for the opening of my store. That really mustn't wait. boy. i have some sewing to do. 

So as she wriggles on my lap, obviously still in some discomfort. It waits...it all can wait. Another sleepless night, more thinking, brainstorming, planning. 

tomorrow is a new day
