Home again, home again, bloggity blog!

Dudes, oh duuudes, I am so tired!!
Last night before mom's surgery, I could not go to sleep. I even took a total of four benedryl-the main ingredient in Tylenol PM & Sominex.
Mom woke up at 1:30AM with heartburn, so I had to put in a call to the doctor on call to see if she could take anything, since she was restricted to nothing after midnight. I also let her have about six ounces of 7-up to try and settle her stomach.
About three I was able to drop off to sleep, at 3:30AM I was awakened to the sounds of mom throwing up. So all of the 7-up came back up, so it wasn't an issue for the surgery(but we did tell the nurses and all of the doctors for safety).
After checking on mom I was able to drop back off to sleep, about 4:00AM, we had a wake up call for 4:30, but I didn't wake up until, ten til five. I don't think the phone rang or if it did, I was so tired I didn't hear it.
So she had the surgery and I went all day long without a nap or anything.
So when we got home Todd and I went to look at mobile homes, and we signed paperwork to buy one. I will tell you all more about that later.
We came back home and ate the pizza I had brought from Lexington. I sat down on the couch and conked out. So did mom.
I woke up around 8:30PM and went strait to bed. I said my prayers and I am still awake nearly five hours later at 1:05AM!!!
So frustrating!

I hope you can get some rest soon. I know your mom appreciates all you're doing for her. I hope things turn out for the best.

Man, I have terrible insomnia too. I'm sorry yours is acting up when you really could use the rest. Hang in there.

Ugh. Don't you hate it when you sleep when you don't want to but can't sleep when you're ready? UGH!

Glad the surgery is over, glad you're home, and hope you all get some rest!

I HATE that when you know you need to sleep and you can't! I had the same thing last night, but for slightly more pleasant reasons than yours (I was watching a late baseball game). It's frustrating!

I hope your mom is well.

There is such a thing as being too tired to sleep. I hate it when that happens. Will be praying for you today that you will get back into a "rest rhythm".
