    Thursday night I went to bed at 1 am.  Late for me, but I was dealing with insomnia.

    1:15 Jeremiah knocked on my door unable to sleep himself.  So I cuddled him up against me, and tried to get sleepy again.

    1:20 Rainee knocked on the door accompanied by Zeria.  After a couple seconds of confused conversation I learned she'd just thrown up all over her bed.  I sent Zeria for a bucket, and cleaned Rainee up, and situated her in my bed.

    Rob works Thursday night, which may be a good thing cause there was no room for him at this point.  LOL

    Rainee threw up about 5 minutes later, and every fifteen minutes from then until Rob got home.

    In between times Jeremiah wanted a drink of water, and to play.  He got his drink of water, and was told he was to lay still and go to sleep or he was going back to his bed to cry himself to sleep.  He believed me and went to sleep.

    Rob got home at 6:45 a.m.  By this point Rainee's throw-up had spread to about every 30 minutes.  Rob took the lot to the bedroom and I attempted to recover some sleep.  I slept until 9:45.  I never sleep in that late.  But man it was a long night.

    So when I woke up Rainee was doing a wee bit better.  Although she threw up about once an hour until 6:40 last night.  She still hasn't eaten anything.  She's scared to.  I rather can't blame her.  But have told her if she doesn't she can't twirl or go see her cousins. 

    So after waking up I had to go grocery shopping.  I was supposed to have done it the day before, but I chose to wait for Friday so I could go by myself.  It was a long day.  I was so tired and kept making simple mistakes.  But the deed got done.  And when I got home at 4 pm I crawled into bed for a two hour nap.  Rob had taken a nap earlier while the kids watched tv.  He sleeps on the job as well, so he was still functioning quite well.

    I can't remember how I dealt with Rainee's sleep apnea and the alarms and oxygen.  One night just killed me.

    Today we have our second lesson with the new coach.  And after that my sister is in town and we are supposed to meet for dinner.  If Rainee can't keep food down, I will take the kids to twirling, and Rob will stay home with her.  But I think she's gonna make it.  Or maybe I'm deluding myself.

  • The joys of motherhood!  Been there...done that!  This too shall pass....then there will be something else!  Hope you have a good day with your sister.

  • Try Emertrol.  I used to keep it in the house for the kids and i keep it now for me as I have lots of nausea and such.  It is about $8 now, but trust me, well worth it.
