Jumbled Thoughts

Don't you hate it when you wake up in the middle of the night and start thinking of different things? Your mind starts racing and it totally wakes you up. I must have tossed and turned for almost 2 hours last night! Just too much on my poor little mind!

I thought about Morgan's feelings getting hurt when her track coach "chewed her out" (in Morgan's words) about not being a "reliable runner". As a mom I wanted to say the coach was out of line. I mean, it did make Morgan cry. But she also told me after the race (where she came in 3rd) that she really didn't want to run it and didn't try real hard. You sign up for track and practice every day, why not just do your best?

I also thought about Ashley. Once again she wants to head to IL for her spring break. Her friend had all intentions of going with her, took a week off work and everything, but her friends parents evidently don't let her get too far away and have told her she can't go. The girl is 18 years old! So now she has no one to ride with her. She says she'll drive herself, but that's a long drive for a teen girl to do alone. She'd also be happy if we meet someone halfway. But since my parents just had to pick her up and drop her off in Chicago two weeks ago, I really don't want to ask them. Plus Morgan has a track meet this Saturday and a benefit run on Sunday (which I may have to help with, I'm not sure). And the following weekend, another track meet on Saturday and a volleyball tournament on Sunday.

Then there are bills...those always enter my thoughts. And my procrastination I'm supposed to be working on. And the fact that the gym I belong to is about to close it's doors.

So you see, I had too much on my mind and it really wreeked havoc on my sleep. Darn jumbled thoughts! (BTW, is "wreeked" really a word?)
