For months I have tried to find a way to comfort my mother, who suffers from ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease), from a distance. My plan: to post the reasons, anecdotes, tragedies and triumphs that explain why I love my Momma. Some will be serious, others funny, some silly, and some ridiculous, but they will each be a part of our story.

6. Back to Bed Reason #6:We always sleep better.
Sleep, I could never get enough of it. I can sleep entire weekends away and reduce summer vacations to countable hours. Sleep can provide necessary distance from mistakes, bad news, or feelings of helplessness. It has become my paradise and my hell -- as it is the place I tend to go when depressed or upset. It's not hard to find where I got this attraction to sleep -- Momma has the very same one. And after today's arrival of the new Tempur-Pedic Mattress -- It's going to be even more tempting to sleep away the blues...or Tuesday.
