Tiger and I have much in common. It’s not the millions. Nor is it the paparazzi hanging out at my front door. We both need a mulligan. A do over. While he needs a mulligan for the past 9 years (or something) I just need one for the past week. And really, his needs for a mulligan are totally different than mine (you can breathe now, Paul) and have screwed up his life to epic proportions. Where as mine are small and insignificant in the grand scheme of things. Fine. I have nothing in common with Tiger other than the fact that we both have babies. His baby probably isn’t sleeping either. Although, he’s not home to hear Charlie cry in the middle of the night and even if he was home, he probably has a nanny for that. Bitter? Yup, I’m bitter.
But what the fuck (sorry, that’s where I am this morning) is with the lack of sleeping? I hate to keep dwelling on this sleep thing. I know it’s boring. I have two posts I’ve been working on. They’re deep and thought provoking and ask interesting questions of all 5 of my readers. But what weighs heaviest on my mind this morning is what the fuck is going on around here?
Courtney is teething. And she’s walking and developing. And she’s uncomfortable. And all this is causing her not to sleep.
My brother gave me his cold when we were in CT and I can’t seem to shake the runny nose. This is causing me not to sleep.
Last night I thought I was dying from kidney or gall stones. Or maybe an ectopic pregnancy. It’s a curse and a blessing having the Internet at your fingertips. I had an upset stomach all day yesterday, kind of a la Charlotte from the Sex and the City movie. And of course, it all kicks in around 10:00 last night, as I’m lying in bed, hoping to get to sleep early. I don’t know why I can’t have this problem at 2 in the afternoon. And my side is still bothering me. I don’t know what the fuck is wrong.
The pediatrician is out of the H1N1 vaccine and has canceled our appointment for tomorrow. I’m feeling kind of over the entire thing. Shots, flu, recalls – OVER it.
I should be tired because I’ve been going to holiday parties and I’m hungover and I ate too many cookies. We have babysitters lined up for tonight and tomorrow night. I’m debating canceling our plans, booking a hotel room and checking in from 8 – 12 so I can get some uninterrupted sleep. Nah, screw that. I’m going to go out, drink wine and fattening desserts and regret all of that in the morning.
I haven’t been sleeping well either
Jonah wakes me up 7-8x a night. Are you gonna keep going with the 30 Day Shred?
I had one of those drunk nights last night where you don’t drink a ton and eat way too little. I woke up on the couch this morning at 7:30 with a MONSTER headache. I literally have been on the couch relaxing watching the 8 channels (4 spanish) on my TV in front of a nice blazing fire before the blizzard of ’09 pounds us. I’ve been dozing in and out of sleep for 6 hours leaving the house only to eat a Gyro…yum! Anyway, I suppose I feel responsible for giving you the cold but that’s the price you had to pay for me to see my wonderful little niece. So I’ll be rested for several more months until my nightmare (lack of sleep) takes over. Yeehah!
