Blog Prompt: What do you think about when you can't fall asleep?

There are a couple of things I always pull into my mind in those wee hours of the night. I'm usually awake at least a couple times in the night to nurse the baby. First, I usually pray for my friends and family that come to mind, and other times, when I really can't sleep, I rearrange all the furniture in my house. (My husband HATES those nights! LOL!) ; )

Once when I was in college, I stayed all night at my sister's house. I had finals the next morning and had to be up at a certain time to get to the college on time. My sister set the alarm and apparently was so worried I would sleep in, she kept waking to make sure we hadn't. At 4:14 am, she woke up, looked at the clock and for some reason, her mind thought I was late, so she ran into my room and shook me yelling, "VICKI! It's 4:14! Hurry up, it's 4:14!" I jumped out of bed and then I realized that it was 4:14 and I had at least another couple of hours to sleep. LOL! To this day we laugh about that and oddly enough, often when I wake up in the middle of the night now, I look at the clock and it's 4:14. Immediately, I pray for my sister as that's something of a "code" for us. Later in the day I call her and tell her, by the way, I was praying for you this morning at 4:14. : )
