Sleep Issues, Maple Bacon Cupcakes, Text Messages and Cheese Cakes

 I know that as we age (such a terrible word) our sleep habits change, but having a chronic illness can also upset the apple cart, or sleep pattern. Last week I could barely stay awake, and only by pushing myself till 8:30. However that all changed this week. Monday I could hardly stay away from the couch and from taking a nap, or two. But come bedtime, I could not even get tired enough to want to head to bed. It was well after 11:30 before I thought that tired was enough to lead me to bed. Well even then I still had issues. The last time I looked at the clock it was after 3 am. Clock would go off at 4:45, I was heading to work that Tuesday morning. Well that did not happen. 

I had yet another sleepless night Tuesday night. Last time I looked at the clock and it was well after one before I was able to sleep. I was up at 4:45, at work at 6:45. Its the end of the month and I had billing to do. I have more to do so I will be going in again tomorrow. Hoping that I can sleep tonight. I did buy some Melatonin today so if I need it tonight I will be taking that. 

Funny story though ~ on Monday night around 11 I sent my DIL a message on facebook with a link about maple flavored cupcakes with a piece of bacon stuck in the top....My son loves BACON.

My message to Britney just said, I bet Cory would love this and attached was the link and this pic.

(Now don't that look amazing?)

Britney's reply to me was Probably. Although he is pretty die hard chocolate lover when it comes to baked goods. I made him a bacon chocolate cake.

I then told her that sounded wonderful and that she was so good to him. I know he loves you I told her. Thank you for looking after my boy.

Britney~ I try. He's worth taking care of. Cory's says what are you doing up?

Before I can reply to Britney in reply to Cory's question I get a text from Cory. The text read like this ~ Go to bed Mother, its past your bedtime!

Britney says she is sorry but she thinks she got me in trouble....

Me~ I give you my permission to bop him on the head.

Text from Cory comes in then~

with these three emoijs

Oh my boy is a mess!

Also, I get a call from my daughter every Monday, Tuesday, Wed. and Friday evening on her hour drive home from work. My kids make me feel so special. 

Speaking of Amber, shes been at the cheese cake making again.

Butterfinger Cheesecake.

She is making everyone a cheese cake for their bday. This one was for my SILs youngest son. Man...that looks amazing! I think I want a raspberry one with choc drizzled over the top. 

Scrolling back over this post I see a lot of delish sweets!! Would that make this a sort of sweet post?

Have you been baking anything yummy these days. Me, trying to swear it off for a bit. With my A1C being so low I sure don't want to change that with my sweet tooth.
