Enough

Okay, I am tired. I am so tired I feel like I am going to barf. Not vomit or be sick but barf. How did I survive the baby years?

The night before last I took a 12 hour Sudafed and it kept me up ALL night. I fell asleep around 4AM and had to get up at 6:45 to get the girls ready for school. Oddly enough, I wasn't tired yesterday. I think I am going to start taking Sudafed instead of drinking coffee because I was wired all day! Last night I couldn't sleep either. I didn't take any Sudafed so I don't know what the problem was, but I didn't get to sleep until 3AM. Today, I am most definitely NOT wired. I overslept and so Emmalena missed her 7:30 handbell practice and then I hissed and growled at anyone who spoke to me before I had my coffee. I have had three cups now and it isn't helping. Isabella is home sick again and I may have to bribe her to keep an eye on Ali while I take a nap. Bedtime is 9 hours and 40 minutes away and I don't think I can make it that long!

I have friends who have insomnia and while I have felt compassion for them, I didn't really get it until now. I have now idea how they function. I have only been up for two nights and I am barely functional. I don't know how you all do it!

Yikes....hope that you are able to get some sleep soon. Oh, and yeah, that whole part on the "baby years" talks to me. I am wired all the time and never sleep, but that's because of having an infant. Hope you are able to rest some.
