Work work work - all work and no sleep

The trouble with me is that I sometimes have a hard time staying asleep at night. I usually can fall asleep fairly easily but some days...man oh man. That's when I am supposed to wait and if I don't fall asleep within 1/2 hour I am supposed to take a half of a sleeping pill...well I hate taking pills dontcha know so there I lie, tossing and turning, looking at the clock every 15 minutes and doing the countdown thing in my brain - Gee, I only have 6 1/2 hours until I have to get up; Gee I only have 4 1/2 hours until I have to get up and so on and so forth. And duh - have I gotten up to take a sleep aid yet...nope. Then comes 4:30 or 5:00 a.m. and I am finally falling asleep only to wake up with what only seems like two seconds later and I have to drag myself out of my bed and get myself purdied up for work. Well I am sorry guys (and gals) this just doesn't work. So far this week I have gone to work looking like I was wearing rags that I bought from the Sally Ann's basement sale, then the next day looking like I had a kindergartener sew up my pants so they would fit and then finally on the 3rd day looking like a bedraggled, dirty haired, clothes don't fit slob...I think they must be wondering just what they heck they let back into the office. I am sure if they knew how badly I could look they would have locked the doors...So this weekend I am going to be very busy looking through my clothes to find something that at least semi fits (at least until payday when I can purchase something that looks like the cat didn't drag it through the back door) and I am going to see my girlfriend the hairdresser to see what she can do with my straggly locks. Well, thats the Plan...Sunday is Easter and my mother would be turning over in her grave if sees me going to work on Sunday looking like I have this week...Every Easter Sunday growing up we always had something new and pretty to wear to church - the rest of the week may have been questionable but at least on Easter Sunday we all looked real purdy!!!!
Cheers!
