SO.TIRED.

I made a commitment and so I am going to write something down about today.  It was sort of a rough one.  Paul woke up at approximately 3:00am this morning AND DIDN’T GO BACK TO SLEEP UNTIL AROUND 3:00pm.  I am pretty much a walking zombie at this point.  I spent a good portion of the day trying to coax the girls into watching a movie with me so I didn’t have to chase anyone around … they weren’t having it.  I finally took a shower around dinner time as I was really embarrassed of myself when I got stuck of the driveway talking to the neighbors.  

It is hard to believe that this sort of thing used to be the norm … I have no idea how I made it through!  Oh yeah … DD, Mimi, GoGo and Nikki!  That was sort of a lost year.

I admit that I am probably to blame since I am experimenting a bit (with doctors permission) on weaning him off of some of his nighttime meds. We have always fought meds to a degree and looked for more natural alternatives for some of his ailments.  It is hard to come to terms with the fact that he just needs some of these medications to function … for all of us to function.   I am women enough to admit that I lost this battle … today, anyway.

Sweet relief arrived at around 4:45pm when a certain handsome husband’s plane touched down at CVG.  He will be on night duty tonight and I will hopefully get a much needed full nights sleep!  Here’s to a better night!  XOXO
