I'm Tired. What Gives?

Summer vacation is here even though it seems like summer has been here for several weeks now. We've had rather comfortable weather the last couple days, more "spring-like" than usual. It was only 91 yesterday, and that's more like our spring. I'm sure it won't last but it's nice even for a day or two. Now that our air conditioning has been fixed the heat isn't such a big deal.

My daughter's last day of school is tomorrow. I can't believe she'll be starting 5th grade in August. How does the time pass so quickly? I can't tell you how glad I am that I'll get to sleep a bit later now. I get up at 5:30 on weekdays during the school year because I need some time to myself before my daughter gets up. By sleeping a bit later, I mean that I'll sleep until about 6:30 or 7:00.

I haven't been sleeping well the last two nights. Something weird is happening and I'm not sure what it is. Am I awake when this happens? Am I asleep? Am I having a dream? A nightmare? It first happened Tuesday night. I'm not sure if I was asleep or not but I "woke up" gasping for air and had the feeling that I couldn't breath. I inhaled but no air went into my lungs. I woke up panicked. But then I was fine. Was I dreaming that I was suffocating? It made me afraid to go back to sleep and when I did, it happened again and I'm relatively sure I was awake. Last night I'm sure I was awake and again, I had a split second where I felt like I was suffocating. Just a split second, then I'm fine. What gives? Maybe I psyched myself out last night but what about the first time? Weird.

Enough about my quirkiness...I'm going to Las Vegas next week for a few days! I usually get there once a year, at least. My husband has a business thing there and so we'll make a mini-vacation out of it. I'm sure I'll blog again before I go though.
