Good Monday mornin' to ya! Yes, it's still morning here and yes, I'm still waking up. So NOT a morning person. It can take me until afternoon to fully join the living. The baby usually helps in that department. She's busy squealing and laughing. Doesn't get much better than this! She's better than coffee.
We took her to Tar-jay last night. Her feet are growing like weeds and the poor thing only had one pair of shoes left that actually fit. We went to get a few pairs of shoes and left with a pair of pink jeans, blue jeans, brown silky fluffy top and a sweet glittery gray top all for the little princess. Oh and don't forget the little baby doll that I let her hold to keep her busy...it was on sale for $2 and she already kissed it a million times. I'm such a sucker.
Mama got some new PJs, too. The hubby put them in the cart and I didn't put them back. Is it me or does anyone else feel guilty buying PJs? I mean, I'm all for fancy 'PJs', but just regular lounge around the house ones seem like something that you should be able to put together from old tees and sweat pants. Oh well, I have some cute PJs now.

OK, enough of the sleep talk! Have a wonderful MONDAY!
What do you do when you can't fall asleep?

Hmm, until today I had never heard of ground beef pie! I'll have to try that one.
When I can't fall asleep I read. It usually puts me to bed by a few pages unless its at a point in the book that makes you wake up and keep reading! lol
I understand what you mean about feeling guilty buying PJs. I have some 'fancy' pjs like you mentioned, but just 'around the house' ones are hard for me to get since I have enough work-out reject clothes I can lounge in.
Your dinners look so good! I'm hungry just reading them. The Apple Cheddar Turkey Meatballs sounds soooo good!
Uhm, I'm not a morning person and I still posted before you missy.
I just got a ton of clothes @ Tar-jay, love that place.
When I cant fall asleep (which is often) I read. I tend to read about a book every two days LOL.
oh and LOL @ your comments ;)
I rarely have trouble falling asleep. When I do, I read a book. That usually does the trick. Watching TV just makes me more awake.
What is this yummy food you ahve there? Which recipe is the one for the picture? It looks so good you are killing me here!
As for the question I watch tv, or "snuggle" up to the man of the house. What it's a great way to pass time! haha!
Hey Melody! Thanks for stopping by my blog! Yours looks interesting! I love me some bargains so I'm going to have to come back when I have more time and check it out! Your menu plan sounds yummy!
Your menu looks wonderful! I want to come over for dinner. You pick the night. hahahaha
I love PJs. I like the 'fancy' ones, too.
If I can't fall asleep I try deep breathing. It really helps. If that doesn't work then I try reading.
Great menu! I can't decide which meal looks the best as they all sound wonderful!
I love to lounge around in my pjs especially on Saturdays. :D
For falling asleep, I read or pray. If I do computer or tv, I am more awake. Ugh!
The meals look so yummy! I don't even know what I'm fixing tonight! you're so organized!
Great PJ deals...I like the pretty pjs!
When I can't sleep I watch TV and put it on something I'm not interested in.
When I can't sleep I take prescriptions meds to MAKE me sleep!

Yum, great menu :)
When I can't sleep I don't do anything, just suffer through it LOL
Love pjs...and I am so glad to hear I'm not the only late starter.
If I can't sleep I will usually surf the internet or take some Advil pm works like a charm. :)
I don't often have the problem of falling asleep usually...counting backwards from 100 used to work like a charm...I also read, but it has to be a book, because magazines keep my brain interested for too long.
I saw you on "Shell in My Pocket"...Just wanted to say that I love your about me picture! That is a great shot and shows so much personality!
Thanks for all the great info!
Wanted to stop by and say thanks for visiting my blog! Your blog is so fun, I'm all for stretching the dollar!
Sometimes I have a really hard time sleeping because my mind just races and then I start stressing about what I need to do tomorrow and on and on... so then naturally it just gets harder to sleep. So, someone suggested to me to count backwards from 100 in 3s.... ie: 100, 97, 94, 91, etc. This helps my brain focus on something else and it's a little tricky when you're tired!
answer to question of the day,
I stay up and do my blog. LOL
Stay saucy and frugal
When I can't sleep, I worry. I wish I didn't. Well you asked. :)
Now then, will you be my personal chef? PLEAZE!
i am so not a morning person - but I have kids that need to go to school - so I am now a morning person with a very foggy brain!
So nice hubbie thought to get you jammies! I think that is sweet - I only sleep in a tank top (and my bottoms) but to lounge around, I wear just yoga pants. I have all these nice silk pjs I bought in China and I never wear them! Shameful!
ARGH - sleep evades me every night. I toss, I turn, I get up, I watch tv, I toss I turn, I get mad, I try to get my brain to dream - anything!!!!!! I don't sleep well!!
Recipe sounds good! When I can't sleep I work on school stuff or read blogs. Thanks for sharing much love!
What a fun blog you have.
When I cant sleep I readorget on heputer untill my eyes hurt.
I love me some matching pjs too. If it's not that, it's basketball shorts and a t-shirt. yay. Nothing says SEXAY like that gettup!
When I can't fall asleep (which is every night) I read blogs or sew.
Apple Cheddar Turkey Meatballs...YUM!
I'll have to try those.
Answer to question...
I usually get up and start cleaning. I get tired real quick!!!
I love pajamas, too! I use to read or maybe catch up on TIVO and all the programs I record and never watch.
BUT, know I blog if I can't sleep!
It's Bad!

I love Target!! They have such cute kiddy clothes. I always want to buy more than I was planning on when I go... I guess that's not necessarily good though :)
Your Menu for the week sounds so good! I'd be to embarrassed to put mine up, umm, pretty plain. LOL Oh, well.
Cute PJ's. I need to get some for winter soon.
I love Ina as well and I am so making that ground beef pie. Yum!
I'm so behind! I had NO time at work to blog surf--would that be called blurfing?! Your whole menu looks great and I'm jealous you actually have a set of pj's. I usually where sweatpants/t-shirt to bed. When I can't fall asleep (which is rare) I usually will just lay awake thinking.
Hi Melody... I just loved hearing about your lil princess and how she has kissed her new doll-baby a million times! Just think, now that we know it, she will end up kissing her doll a Quintillion times! LOL
As for P.J.'s, or "Jammies" as I call them, No, I have no guilt at all in purchasing them and getting them as gifts. However, I absolutely will not purchase them unless they are on sale and seriously marked down. The best two deals I ever got on jammies were...
1) Blue 100% Silk Jammies $15.
2) Brushed Flannel Joe Boxer Jammies $5.
YAY... both pair were found about 4 weeks after Christmas.
I am a horrid insomniac, so when I can't sleep, even with meds, I get out of bed and work on the computer or watch TV until I feel sleepy again.
Thanks for the menu ideas + the heads-up on the bargains! Hope your day is going well... God bless...
~hugs 'n prayers~

That's cute about your little girl - my son is not so little anymore and his feet are STILL growing! lol
When I can't sleep, I usually surf the decorating blogs! :)
I have had to take prescription drugs for YEARS to help me fall asleep. I can fall asleep during the day when I lay down with the toddler for our nap, but at night, I just can't fall asleep or stay asleep on my own without the drugs. That's anxiety for ya!
Hey, can I come to your house Wed. night?
And isn't it great having new PJs?
Wonderful menu plan! Can't wait to try the ground beef pie recipe.
