I had Insomnia Last Night
I could not for the life of me get my brain to slow down enough to get to sleep. I didn't even go to the bedroom until 12:30. which is odd if I am alone. I got comfortable in bed and I wasn't fading like I usually do so I tried some of the stuff I do to wear it down. I wrote a few things, listened to podcasts, counted. It wasn't happening. Around 3:10 I got a text and started a very draining conversation which lasted for 20 minutes. I passed out pretty quickly once my puffy cry eyes went down. I estimate that I got maybe 2.5 hours before my alarm to get Johnny up and going for the day went off. I got him up, fed, dressed, re-dressed (he had an accident), and to school. I came home and was looking forward to laying down for a few hours but shortly after snuggling in bed the phone rang. It was the school informing me that he had had an accident again and needed shoes. I got up, dressed, grabbed the shoes, and I was on my way. When I got there he had destroyed the office bathroom. He had tried to clean himself up. It was everywhere! I did what any good mom does I went to work. Using bathroom paper towels, wet and soapy, I cleaned him up. Once I got him clean I started cleaning the floors so he could start getting dressed without stepping in it. We accomplished the mission and got him back to class. I felt good that I was there to help and again started longing for my bed. I got home and decided to eat my breakfast. I had some leftovers. Very filling and comforting. I got back into bed with the intention of sleeping until afternoon. That is until my phone rang again. Little man had had another accident and that it was bad again. He had no more pants and they were releasing him for the day because he is considered ill. I was so tired and out of it by the time this call came that I handed it off to my amazing partner in life. He came home, got him some pants, picked him up, brought him home, cleaned him up, and hung out with him so I could get some sleep.I feel much better now. Little man feels a little better. We spent the afternoon together making art and practicing stuff for school.
