this thinking feeling

last night i was a "good boy" and went to bed right after watching ER. i rarely watch the show but it looked like a gooder. and it was. after reading people magazine i turned out my light and lay there eager for sleep to take me over.
but it didn't. for 1.5 hours i lay there yawning, twisting and turning. my mind just would not stop. i hate it when that happens. you just want yourself to shut up. and sometimes, when it is really bad, you have to argue and reason with yourself. "ok self' you think/say, 'i really have to go to sleep now, so stop thinking.' then you yawn and think about the world and why everyone likes to make things hard for you. 'stop it' you say/think. then you turn over, perhaps yawn, and think about how you want to sleep and how good it will be once you finally do. 'mind go blank' you think/say. and so forth.
when i finally did manage to go unconcious my dream did not leave me feeling rested when my alarm woke me at 7:16 am. i dreamt that my mother (whom i live with) told me i had one hour to pack up my stuff because we were moving. no explanation given. she then handed me some boxes and told me to get started. i told her there was no way i could fit all my things in these few boxes. she just told me to grab my essentials because a bulldozer was coming to tear the house down and we would claim whatever was left in the house through insurance and get "lots of money". i'm not sure what this all means but i'm pretty sure insurance wouldn't give us money to replace the things we bulldozed over ourselves.
i'll ask my mom what she has planned for today, just in case.
