My internal clock has been upside down since I share the night shift with the girls. Lately I've been working nights more than they. It's getting so that I wake at 3, even when I don't have to, and I find I"m rising at 4 to 4:30 every day no matter what. This morning I've been up since 3. I only get a couple of hours of sleep during the night, most of my sleep is in the form of naps throughout the late afternoon and early evening. Does anyone else have odd sleep patterns? Is it a part of getting older?

So Happy 4th of July! It's my mother's 107th birthday. She was so proud to share it with America. She is gone 21 years now, but she is always with me.
