Growing up I was one of those people who couldn’t sleep in an unmade bed, a messy bed or any bed other than my own. I mean would have sleepovers with my friends but the next day I was trashed and needed a nap. Ridiculous I know but in order for me to sleep, everything…
sleep deprived
What’s wrong with my eyes?
Well my Monday didn’t start off great. I hardly slept the night before for several reasons, one of which was that Tiara kept getting out of bed and wandering the house. Trinity had another bad dream and tried to make me sleep between her and Tiara. I hate being sandwiched. I moved to the couch…
Is cutting back on my wine a good idea?
I have been thinking lately that I need to cut down my nightly wine consumption. The reason is, I am looking for time to focus on my writing. Years ago I used to be one of those people that went to the gym at 5am and was home before the kids even woke up. I…
Do people really like this weather?
I hate to complain when people on the east coast just dealt with the “polar vortex” issue but really, I HATE the SANTA ANA WINDS. I have hated them my whole life, and nothing has changed. As a child I always remember them showing up during the first week of school. I would be excited…
My mixed up day…
So my day started out like every other Wednesday and then somehow everything got chaotic. My mother in law came over to watch TT during her nap and I was walking Balboa Island with the same friend I have been walking with every Wednesday for the past 3 years when I received a text message…
Everyday I say…..
I am so tired! Apparently this is the phrase I have been saying since I was 2 years old. My Mom recently told me that she used to pray when she woke me up in the morning that I would say anything but “I’m tired!” Apparently she can’t remember a morning I didn’t say that…
We survived the sleep study!
To be honest I have been avoiding this sleep study for 5 years. Yes, for 5 years doctors have recommended it and because Tiara’s seizures were always the priority this outpatient study continued to be put on the back burner. After her last hospital stay which required she go home on oxygen for sleep I…
I tried to take the day off…
I tried really hard not to write this post because I am functioning on 3 hours of sleep and that is NOT an exaggeration, but of course I couldn’t help myself. In the past 14 hours I have been in the emergency room, to UCLA for a check up and at another doctor’s office for…
I had quite the scare today!
Today was one of those days where everything didn’t go exactly wrong, but just different than I planned. Tiara and I usually walk with a friend on Wednesdays but this morning I had an early auction meeting for the school at 8:15am. My plan was to do Tiara’s medicine a little early and bring…
I never drink shots, do you?
I am feeling on deaths door as a result of exhaustion and I am just praying that Tiara will sleep past 3am tomorrow morning. For the past week she has been waking up at 3am, including the night of my reunion. Oh wait, that night she woke up at 2am and then I had to…
