Counting Sheep

Don't you hate when you can't sleep?  I even had the perfect setup for a good nights sleep......nice clean sheets.  I fell asleep immediately but then awoke at 1am wide awake.  I thought maybe going to the bathroom would allow me to go back to sleep.  Nope. My mind started racing and then my heart joined in.  I couldn't stop thinking about work and my patients and cardiac arrest and pulmonary embolisms and ekgs and family members and and and and.  I tried to will my mind to go to a happy place but I kept going back to stuff related to work.

As the night carried on I felt like I had no other choice but to call in reinforcement...........

Sheep

 First they lined up and started walking across my dream in the "counting sheep" fashion.

However, they weren't too happy with just some boring plain walk so next thing you know they started getting a little giddy up in their step.  If jumping wasn't extreme enough they started doing front flips and splits as they jumped from one side of  my dream to the other.

 At this point I was chuckling and completely defeated.  You know you aren't going to go get any sleep when you have called in the sheep and they start doing a comedy act. So I decided to give up on the whole sleep thing and went into the other room and surfaced the Internet.  I am still laughing about those darn sheep.
