I'm Too Excited to Sleep!!

[davidsprincess]

So in just over 26 hours I will be up and getting dressed to be at the airport for 4 a.m. The packing is all done except for makeup and such and I find that I am unable to sleep. I really hope that exhaustion and the hot tub will knock me out tomorrow night so that I can get a few hours of shut eye before we have to leave.
My mind will just not shut off!! I am way too excited. This is not good. I am supposed to be the one responsible for the 5 of us. It will not work too good if I can't stay awake while we go through customs because I was too excited the day before to sleep! Too bad I can't stand the taste of coffee. That would help to keep me awake for the moments when all are relying on me!
Please tell me that I will get some sleep before we leave!!

Sorry about the rambling. I am tired, just not enough to sleep, but enough that it is apparently making me just a tad less coherent (although in my mind I sound completely sane!) than normal.

How exciting! only one day left! Yay!
I do not drink coffee, either. I do however drink Pepsi. That really can help to at least for a little while, perk me right up.

I hope that you can find sufficient sleep, before your flight. And you can sleep on the plane too, of course. Just no drooling please. I hate it when that happens, and on my nice white shirt too! he he! Seriously, it can happen.
4 in the a.m. is too early for anything, nor do I even care much to have to get up, just to go to the toitey. he he!

You are not a thread killer. At least people do not get mad at you, for run on sentences (because you do not commit that most heinous crime! ) Nor do they become irate toward you, because you ( I ) do not like hmh!

Here is wishing you and your family a great and safe trip to Anaheim, and a most wonderful and magical time at Disneyland, and that goes for the rest of the area as well. Hopefully, y'all will be visiting the beaches, and or Hollywood, etc. in addition to Disneyland.

You will have a wonderful trip. I agree with a benedryl or tylenol PM. It nocks me out cold. Just make sure to take them at least 8 hours before you want to get up. Even if you are not ready for bed yet or else you will be groggy the next day.

Hope you have a wonderful trip, Davidsprincess! Sending pixie dust your way--

And I agree about the Tylenol PM... it's not gratuitous drug use! Seriously, I am the same way before trips (you read my trip report, girl, you know whereof I speak!), and you are right, it's no good starting off sleep deprived. It is completely justifiable, in my opinion, to make sure you sleep well the night before by getting a little help with some Tylenol PM. Just take it at 7 p.m., get everybody to bed, then crash yourself. You might be a little groggy the next day, but you've got the plane ride to recover!

Best of luck, hon!

Best of luck getting some rest tonight ~ get to bed early if possible.

I'm sure you and your family will have a great time!

I hear ya!

My trip is still over a month away and it is ALL I can think about!

Hope you get some rest before you go! You are going to need all your strength running around the parks! Oh, I am excited for you! Enjoy every moment!

PS - I see you are from Calgary. I lived there for 4 years in the early 1980's....I miss Peter's burgers and Shakes! Yum!

I know you feel, and I've got 2 months left!!!! LOL Take a Tylenol PM (I can't do an actual sleep aid, they make me groggy the whole next day) and get some sleep before you go!! You're going to have a BLAST!!!!!
