Who needs sleep?

I have officially gone to bed. But as you know, I am really awake blogging away.

Today my mom came to help us finish packing and I think really more for moral support more than anything. I don’t know what we would do without her help right now. Whew! Especially me, since I am physically so challenged by this move.

At her urging I made a list of things to do tomorrow. It’s kind of long; there are a lot of very specific tasks to accomplish, everything from vacuum out the couches to get out iPods ready for the trip (perhaps the most important one right there).

But still, I can’t sleep. I am exhausted. I can’t sleep. And I still can’t wrap my brain around the fact that I will be moved in less than 48 hours.

On the lighter side, this reminds me of a Barenaked Ladies song. Here’s a few of the lyrics:

"Who Needs Sleep?"

Now I lay me down not to sleep
I just get tangled in the sheets
I swim in sweat three inches deep
I just lay back and claim defeat…

Who needs sleep?
well you're never gonna get it
Who needs sleep?
tell me what's that for
Who needs sleep?
be happy with what you're getting
There's a guy who's been awake
since the Second World War…
