stressed...worried...= no sleep

Okay, so the women in my family seem to have this problem. The older we get the less sleep we receive. It doesn't help that once I wake up I start thinking of everything, everyone, and what needs to be done. It doesn't help that I am currently unemployed...well not completely true, as I do take care of my little neighbor. However, this is 90% cause of why I am up at this hour.
Employment options...anyone out there have suggestions...I am open.
A. Deal with the rat race and try to make my resume stand out among 300. (This is true, I just interviewed for a job where after 4 days they had 300 apply - I know this because my friend helped me get the interview).
B. I take myself out of the rat race and committ to being a Day care provider until 2010. This has immediate opening, as I have callers waiting for my response.

That is a tough choice, and I have no great wisdom for you, except that I know it'll work out. I can't wait to see you in July too. We're going to have soooooo much fun

I wish I could survive on less sleep. Any less than 8 hours and I am a B... B... B... BEAR. Congrats on the final interview with Safeway!

I, being one of those who has THIS sleep disorder, was up at 3am. I could have called you. Why do we do this? That is what I want to know! I JUST WANT TO SLEEP AND not be up at rediculous hours. However, I have found that If I sit up and write down what I am frustrated, stressing, worried or just concerned about at that moment I feel better, I read a little bit and if the sun is not up and it is quite I fall back to sleep after about 1 - 2 hours. I can't guarentee you will not be sleepy when you do wake up but at least you got some sleep.

JJ-I know you will be GREAT at which ever job you take!
