a sleepless night

it's 3 in the a.m. and i cannot sleep. as soon as i put my head to the pillow i start thinking about all of the things that i have yet to do: get a visa to india, coordinate with the folks in india, finish the work that i'm taking to india blah, blah, blah. i try to tell myself that there's nothing i can do about it at 3 in the morning, but the hand-wringing side of my brain is having none of it.
though i'm looking forward to this trip to india, i want to get it over with. my thirst for adventure is tempered by my children. i don't like being away from them.
