Turn that light on ONE MORE TIME

So after someone- possibly someone related to me now by marriage- shared a little flu/sick/crud bug with the husband, I am running on pretty much no sleep. If I do happen to fall asleep it seems like it is the same time he goes into a hacking fit- or like this morning at the ripe hour of three am- he TURNS THE BATHROOM LIGHT ON so he can go... That would be why the Little Mermaid Nightlight stays attached to the wall- because as countless studies have shown, turning on lights even further disrupts your sleep pattern and makes it harder not only to go back to sleep, but to have a restful sleep. Not making this up people, there is research out there.

After the three am light incident, he turns the hallway light on to say goodbye- not cool buddy not cool. So I have been even less of a peach today and I blame my sleepless cohort. My ability to sleep has officially gone away- there is no comfortable position, everything makes my legs hurt, my back ache and my head has taken up a throbbing sensation requiring prescription strength meds come nine pm.

And that's about all I have... if I continue someone will start throwing rocks at me for complaining and as much as I love my husband, son, puppy and life- but if one of the previous don't evacuate my body soon- I think that I may get worse.... be warned!

Just one of those days

" Today's the day! The sun is shining, the tank is clean, and we are getting out of here...THE TANK IS CLEAN?! The AquaScum 2003 is an all-purpose, self-cleaning maintenance free salt water purifier that is guaranteed to even extend the life of your aquarium fish. - curse you AquaScum !!! "  Quick- name that movie! ... anyone?  Finding Nemo of course! The sun IS shining, it IS a temperate 63 degrees out, and I am at work- with my beautiful view of the dumpster where the elderly man frequently confuses the stairwell for a bathroom and the trashbags for a free buffet!  In addition to that little chunk of heaven- I get to go rounds with one of our companies. Without getting into too many details- it's like trying to explain to a deaf person what sound a cow makes- doesn't matter how many times you write, act out, draw or mime- you get the same result- a blank stare. Normally, I can tolerate this company and the stress, craziness, stupidity and insan

Caden William

After a short two hours in the outside world, Caden, our perfect happy little boy was taken to the nursery to get checked out and cleaned up. A nurse came in shortly to let us know that regrettably, Caden was breathing a little faster than he should have been and that he would be moved to the special care nursery (NICU) to be evaluated. Usually babies are there about 24 hours and then are good to go back to mom and the regular nursery- and he just needed a little extra attention for a few good hours.  Dad had just left to go home and shower and gather himself. I called him, still calm and collected, and still surrounded by family. I was worried sick about my little boy and my dad took me in my wheelchair later to see him in his incubator. To sit and only make contact through a little hole with your baby is about the most helpless feeling ever. His little chest was going at what seemed like a million miles a minute. The nurse explained that his box was helping regulate his oxyge

Intestinal-Abdominus Who- I. Hate. You

This is how I feel currently- insert various stomach/ abdominal organs where Who-names are located... I am on Day Two of an antibiotic for my Bladder, in addition to the "pre-diabetes" med- which my Chiropractor kindly commented, aren't we all "pre-diabetic?" Thank-you Dr. Bill!, the prenatal vitamins, thyroid meds, Align, the extra Fiber, the colace, and the spiked apple juice that are all trying to combat my overstressed and non-working intestines. It's really like a party in my stomach right now! I feel like my medications have enrolled in e-harmony and are looking for their perfect match and just keep getting more friend to visit! Someone really needs to cancel their 90 day free trial! Basically I am miserable, I am up constantly at night to pee, then I can't go back to sleep (even though I don't turn on any lights so as not to disrupt my body's internal clock). By the time I do fall asleep my husband is leaving for work and then I have
