"Sorry, I just had this poem in my head about crayons I had to write it down so it would let me go to sleep."
While I welcome these interesting thoughts, they are very brazen. Thinking they can come to me at all hours and I beholden to committing them to a scrap of paper or a sketchbook. They must keep within the bounds I have set for our relationship. I will reiterate them here for future reference...Creative thoughts only in waking daytime hours, not racing through my mind at 100 miles an hour when I am trying to get to sleep (already an hour or two behind schedule). Any good recommendations on mental mousetraps or brain raid highly appreciated.

it's a love/hate relationship. good stuff but bad time. sorry, i struggle with this myself - i blame my mom.:) i'm looking for self help myself - help?
So are you going to share the Crayon poem? :P
maybe one of these days
yeah happens to dh all the time. He'll wake up and say, "I should've had a notepad by the bed" Me I just get up and blog it. Fortunately hasn't happened lately (shh!! I just jinxed myself)
Oh Smart mama... this is a problem that plagues us when we are sleep deprived. I'm thinking you need a FULL weekend in bed! Those rodents are after the crumbs left from baking and decorating (at a very high level) 66 cupcakes in your waking hours.
i too suffer...it's always GOOD stuff, it's just a matter of me getting out of bed to write it down.
I convince myself I won't forget, but in the morning, it's GONE.
i like the notepad by the bed idea!
hope you were able to get some good sleep while the Ma was in town.
Love this post! I picture the whole scenerio so vividly. Looking forward to reading the crayon poem one day.
Great idea about the notebook. I usually tell myself I'll remember in the morning but then it is gone! I love the idea of getting in down on paper so your mind can rest and be rid of it during the (supposedly) resting hours.
