Burned Out

I am burning myself out from lack of sleep.
Basically the only time that it's quiet enough around here for me to think is after everyone has gone to sleep for the night ('cept my oldest, who burns the way-past-midnite oil, too--though in his enclave in the finished basement).
Like right this moment, I'm trying to compose this and the dog--a 12 pound yapping machine--is barking her head off at the mail dude.
I also have three almost-12 y.o.'s who are allegedly working on a 3-dimensional diorama on a Arctic zoo habitat.
What a silly bunch. Now they are driving the dog crazy--she's still yapping.
So... I mostly do all my computer stuff at night--work stuff, my web site (the photographic stuff--I get lost in that for hours--I think it's my equivalent of what gamers do), reading and commenting on other people's blogs, as well as at a fledgling web site.
I should quit bitching and just go to bed, but the sense of responsibility drives me. I guess I could analyze the whys of that too, but essentially once I start something, I like to see it through and most of the stuff I mentioned is open-ended, i.e. never ending.
:sigh:

Insomnia still rules eh. I can only sympathise. Yours does sound horrendous. At least you do productive things when you can't sleep though. I can barely speak when I can't sleep let alone work on the web.

Don't burn yourself out though please :)
