Oh man, last night it was my almost two year old son. He has an ear infection and a really bad cough. We were staying at my inlaws and he was in bed with me and he basically had terrible coughing fits every 2 or so hours. They would last about 15-20 mins each and it was horrible to listen to. Then it would take me forever to fall back asleep. Le sigh.
I dont have a good reason. I just can't get comfortable and I can't fall back asleep. I tried falling back asleep in my bed for over an hour afree going to the bathroom and now I'm trying the recliner. I'm so tired.
I slept with my head at the foot of the bed last night. My dog spoons me 😂 and I don't have to fight for space with my son and husband. Much more comfortable.
I was awake last night because I drank two bai drinks and didn't realize that they're naturally caffeinated. Then my mind went racing about our appointment tomorrow, if we'll have a boy or girl, when we'll have a gender reveal, where we'll be babymooning, if I should get anything on black friday... basically all the things lol
Omg wtf, you're right! I've been drinking Bai in place of water cuz water is making me throw up. Thanks for mentioning that ! I drink about two bottles a day. Im sure that's not helping with my racing heart!
@expandcontract Yeah, I'm usually ready to pass out at 7pm and at 9:30 I was wide awake... So I looked at the bottle to see if it is caffeinated and sure enough, it's naturally caffeinated to approximately the same amount as a green tea.
So I’m a huge dork, but I woke up from a dream trying to remember a fact about the crusades, then I spent an hour down the rabbit hole last night. I’m hoping tonight my brain sticks with time periods I know better lol
We put an offer in on a house tonight. My son woke me from scratching his eczema again, and now I can't go back to sleep because I'm thinking about how that's a lot of fucking money. But also I'm scared it'll fall through.
The dreams last night were so intense and vivid! Lost a lot of sleep convincing myself they weren’t real! I only remember one where we were at our anatomy scan, but I was only 16 weeks along, and they said we were having a boy because they could see two testes outside the body. I cried in my dream; couldn’t tell if it was from joy or disappointment. Now, more than ever, I want to buy a SneakPeak! I can’t wait 7 more weeks!
I've been MIA today cuz I have this awful headache that Tylenol won't take care of. Thankfully, my breathing is a little better, today! I hope it only gets better from here.
I'm currently sitting on the floor in my closet/bathroom, eating almonds and trying not to hurl... looking at election results, disgusted by the great swaths of my state that are red. Yesterday (today?) I was exhausted, and I went to bed early, 'cept here I am seven hours later and it's still the middle of the night.... ughhh
@brie_and_almonds imalso awake looking at election results. Thankful that we got rid of our horrendous governor and will be welcoming a teacher-loving man into office. 💙 Hope your results switch to a more pleasant outcome.
@mrskoz428 it's not all bad for our election, we will now have a dem as governor too, I just don't understand why so many people in the rural parts of my state have been brainwashed into thinking that republicans are going to somehow help them when the policies they adopt seem self-serving at best and downright corrupt at worst.
@brie_and_almonds my state went red in the presidential election for the first time in years! We’ve never been a swing state. My new county is very red washed, which is hard (lots of small, rural farm towns). Hope you find some nausea relief, as well!
I've been so uncomfortable in my bed and my husband won't let me get a bigger one until we move, so last night I got the idea to sleep in DS's bed since clearly he isn't using it. Well. I got to sleep until 3, which has been the time he's been waking me up regularly. He came in to sleep with me 😂 so it looks like it's me, not the bed that he wants. At least I got quality sleep until the. We went back to my bed.
@mrskoz428 please ignore if too personal, but are you in WI? Just wondering because I had a very similar conversation like that with a friend who is in WI about the gov/state voting red for pres election.
@brie_and_almonds I also don't get it. I just don't. Why do you think rich people will suddenly care about you? They like that you're poor. It works in their favor. They don't want to help you.
It’s 3am... I think I’m in the right place. Exhausted - to the point where it hurts, but just keep popping awake in the middle of the night. Too hot; weird dream; had to look something up (although not yet a historical period).
I set my alarm using this website that calculates when I should wake up based on when I should be out of REM. But my freaking husband's alarm goes off like 10 minutes before mine and wakes me during a rem cycle completely defeating the purpose 😒
