September 15, 2010 "It's going to be a REALLY long day!"

If you've ever wondered what cats do at 3:oo in the morning, this is pretty much it. I've been having trouble falling asleep lately, so I've been taking Benedryl before bed to help fall asleep. And it works, except that it makes me have crazy dreams all night long (including one with a lot of snakes in it...yikes). So then I'm tired all day and end up napping while the kids nap. But this then makes me not sleepy at night so I have to take the Benedryl. You can see the vicious cycle I'm stuck in. So tonight, I didn't take the Benedryl and couldn't fall alseep. Plus I had a nasty headache. So I came downstairs at 11:30pm to watch some TV and put a heating pad on my neck. Well, despite 3 Motrin, the headache would not go away, so I decided to resort to Excedrin, which I knew would work but also has caffeine in it, therefore, it is now 5:34am and I have not yet been to bed. Kev will be up in about 20 minutes, so I guess we can have breakfast together. Although I was hungry about a half hour ago so I had a salad, is that weird? Can you tell I haven't slept? Today will be a very interesting day. The kids have swimming lessons this morning and the cleaning lady is coming this morning, so we'll have to be out of the house till at least 1:00pm. And I'm going to have to try and avoid wanting to nap or I'll be right back here tomorrow night...or tonight actually. Have a great day!
