In the misty moonlight
October 26, 2007 – 5:24 amI woke up this morning feeling sooooooooooooo tired.
I drank some coffee, but it didn’t help. I looked in the mirror and almost didn’t recognize myself. Swollen, baggy, bloodshot eyes. Hair sticking out at all angles.
Getting dressed was a task of epic proportion. I barely stayed awake on the drive to and from preschool.
Sooooooooooo tired. What to DO?
A walk! A walk will help!
30 minutes later my sister is at my door and we are on our way, arms swinging in the bright sunshine.
One mile into our walk, sis looks at me and gasps, “This seems like it’s taking FOREVER.”
I have to concur.
Another mile in and we are both miserable.
“I’m sooooooo tired!” she tells me.
“Me too.” I say.
To myself I think, Hmmm, this is rather odd.
Once I’m home the phone rings… it’s my mother. “How are you?” she asks me.
I groan. “I am sooooooooooooo tired.”
“You too?”
Turns out mom is also soooooooo tired.
This is very, VERY strange. And suddenly, the little hairs on the back of my neck start to prickle, and I have a SUSPICION.
To my computer! I call up my google home page and THIS is what I see:
JUST as I suspected.
The moon is to blame. For the excessive tiredness. And the baggy eyes. And the four peppermint patties I just ate.
THE MOON!
I am a helpless victim, caught in its cosmic pull.
AWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
That’s right, there are just SIX days left until Halloween. Don’t go away… I have MORE FUN IN STORE!

No, you are a big bit crazy, but I love it!
I wonder does the moon explain why every bone in my body makes me feel like an old lady when I get up in the morning?

That’s hilarious. Maybe Teen Wolf will have a spinoff called Blogger Wolf.

I actually left work early yesterday because I was so tired… glad to know there’s an explanation!
On the way to the sitter’s this morning, I told DD to look at the pretty moon. She said “Why are we up in the middle of the night?” Fine question!!
