If you come to the Wisconsin Valley Fair this week you may notice dark circles under my eyes. It seems that I'm running a little low on sleep lately. It's partially because I have a hard time getting comfortable because I'm dealing with a little back pain, it's partially because I have to get up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night and it's partially because I just can't fall asleep. 

I'm a pretty good sleeper in general. I fall asleep pretty much when my head hits the pillow and I stay asleep all night and can sleep through almost anything. So for me not being able to sleep is really a shock to the system and I have some serious dark circles. In fact I am going to have to stop at Walgreens to pick up some concealer before I go to the fair so people don't think Lee sucker punched me. 

My sister in law Katie suffered from insomnia when she was prenant with my nephew Cole. I remember she would get up in the middle of the night and clean the house or play on the computer and the poor thing was run down all the time.

This is not a good time of year for me to be run down. We have so much going on at work in the summer. This week we have the Wisconsin Valley Fair next week is Fuddfest and it's pretty much non-stop until October. I sure hope this passes, but I know it probably won't. 

Stop by our booth outside the grand stand at the fair and you may catch me snoozing in my chair.

Did you have trouble sleeping when you were pregnant?
