Sleep Deprivation (spl?)

Funny what one's mind can put a person through. Help ! I need sleep.

It's been a long, long night,
Who needs sleep anyway?
Bring it on, I'm ready,
For whatever goes wrong today.

I know that God won't give me,
More than I can handle;
But lately it just seems,
I'm burning both ends of the candle.

Five hundred thousand a year,
I guess that's something I could take;
Nah, I couldn't handle all that,
Besides, no way I'd be a fake!

CEO, failed his company,
So he deserves to get bailed out;
This country's in a heap of trouble,
And that is a fact, have no doubt.

I'm sorry to have written this,
I think I may be sleep deprived;
I'm going to crawl in a corner,
And find a quiet place to hide.

Goodnight all.

I do believe in all honesty you are so right. Though I try my best to hold on to the positive and optimistic outlook, the reality does look grim. I fear this "once" great land is at its end due to the ultimate mismanagement of all, "Washington".....

Be always safe,
Karen

Whenever I drink Coke or Pepsi at dinner time, I could never fall asleep. I'd be wide awake all night and then forced myself to go to sleep for at least 2-3 hours...finally!!!

I think it's a joke that big shot CEO has failed his job, and yet deserves to be bailed out. I don't see them giving bailouts to the little people who are small potatoes, and yet doing a job that is supposed to be done by 5 people and failed that job!!!

What a joke this is!!!...but I'm not laughing anyway.

Keep looking up,forward and to GOD!
satan runs free among the faithful and tries to capture us in our weakness. We are strong and it makes him mad...so he is trying to drag us down to a level where he can capture our souls! FIGHT! And remember the cross.

I know all about sleep deprivation as I go through this almost every night Paul after a few nights and a crying spell I take a sleeping pill to start all over. Sorry to hear you are going through this.

Newfie hugs, Rose
