Wake up, jerk face

I’ve had a terrible time, as of late, keeping my eyes open. Particularly while driving. This, as you might imagine, poses a problem.

It’s bad, people. I snapped back into reality this morning to discover I had dropped my speed from 60 to 40 without noticing it… because I was about 70% asleep.

I literally cannot keep my eyes open. It is such a terrible feeling, and it’s obviously extremely unsafe. But I’m not sure what to do about it. I don’t know what my deal is, but I really don’t think I could possibly get enough sleep to stop this from happening. I think it’s more than that… a chemical imbalance or something? I don’t know. I’ve started taking my vitamins again, and I’m hoping that will help.

This is pretty miserable, though. And I’d really rather not wrap my car around a tree.

I need your help! Any suggestions for what I can do to stay awake?

Pin for the Wednesdays – Fruit Kabobs

Today’s Pin for the Wednesdays couldn’t be simpler – it’s fruit on a stick. That’s all!

I found the original pin a little over a year ago, back when Pinterest was brand-spanking new. Given the red, white and blue theme, I made them for Memorial Day.

I intended to make those again this time around, but lack of available fruit led me to the multi-colored approach above! Had I been really creative, I would have done this:

Actually, the random way worked well – everyone could find a combination of the fruit they wanted. And they were pretty! They were a big hit with adults and kids alike. The only issue was that they are super sharp and the kids wanted to grab them and then run around. Not quite sure how to fix that one yet!

But really, food is more fun on a stick. This was a win!

What have you been pinning and actually doing? We’d love to hear!

here are just a few rules:

1) In your post, please link to your original source – the pin you got the idea from.

2) Make sure and link back to our original Pin For the Wednesdays Post here at Mommin’ It Up! (please!)

3) In the Mr. Linky below, leave a direct link to your Pin FTWednesdays post, not to your main website.

4) Totally optional – grab our cute #PinFTW button! The code box is over there in our sidebar.
