Zombie Mom

Feeling like a Zombie Mom these days. Lack of sleep will do that to a gal.

The kiddos have been struck by a snotty, coughing bug. Days they seem fine. Nights, not so much. Avery had a few tragic nights. Stuffy noses effect thumb sucking, and lack of thumb sucking appears to effect sleep. Dramatically.

But we seem to have turned the corner-- and she slept all night last night, and is in fact, still sleeping.

Couple of all night Avery duties, with pregnancy related sleep disorder, aka... up 10 times to pee, severe and side swapping sciatic pain and new rounds of sporadic and painful contracting [at 25 weeks, I have been contracting a little less with this pregnancy, but a little more intensely when I do] and you get a mom that doesn't even know what day it is anymore.

I woke last night and my first thought was "Good, we can sleep in a bit tomorrow since it is Sunday. No wait a minute, I think it's Monday, what will I pack in Chase's lunch... NO, I went to work yesterday... it has to be TUESDAY and my to do list is a mile long..." Spent some panic time on that long list and fell back asleep. Only to wake up, glance at the clock and panic again "Yikes, it's 8:45! We've all overslept... got to get moving and repair the damage..." Only to discover that it was 6:45.

Going to blame the vision issues on the fact that one eye is glued shut. YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME. After joking with my mom last night about how I get pink eye every time someone in Chase's class gets strep [she brought home a confirmed case sheet last night] I woke up to what appears to be round FIVE. Add a stop to the pharmacy for a drop refill to my list of to dos.
