Insomnia + Bug

I made lasagna last night while we watched Number 23. Eh, not as good as I thought it would be. We ate, got the boys into bed and Mario took Alaethia with him across the street to Jason and Adan’s while I showered. I called him when I finished up and he watched her a little more while I ironed. He went back over there and Alaethia and I cuddled while she drank a bottle and quickly fell asleep. I was grateful, since it was almost 11pm.

I tossed and turned for the next 16 minutes. I heard Mario in the living room around 12am so I went over there and told him I couldn’t sleep and could he please watch TV in the bedroom so I could at least feel him next to me? I still have trouble sleeping when he’s not in bed. I toss and turn a for two more hours. I couldn’t stop thinking about stuff, especially how I was supposed to take 15 extra minutes during lunch on Friday and didn’t. It was so hectic that day there was no way I could take longer during lunch, or leave earlier. But anyway, it was around 2am when my stomach started churning and let’s just say I visited the bathroom quite a bit for the rest of the night. I slept maybe a broken half hour and then I finally really fell asleep at 5:27am.

The alarm went off at 5:50 and I got up to get ready but I just couldn’t. My stomach felt empty and sore, I was exhausted and my head was in pain because on top of getting some kind of bug I have a cold I’m getting over and my sinuses were extremely stuffed. Plus, I didn’t know if my stomach would behave itself at work. I just couldn’t go in. I started making the calls I needed to make, which sucks because I had to wait till almost 8am to report my absence since the automated phone number I’m supposed to call never works. I got a little chewed up about not calling in sooner, but I keep going over that in my head, like, how am I supposed to know “in advance” that I’m going to be sick?

At least I got to see the boys get ready, and Mario get ready and gave Alaethia her morning bottles. She didn’t let me sleep at all, so it’s not like I’m really resting. She took about a 20 minute nap with me but then I had to get up and go turn off the central air unit since the line froze. Grr. I have to go turn it back on in 6 minutes.

I had a breakfast of waffles and I haven’t made a trip to the bathroom once so hopefully I’m better. I don’t want to miss anymore work! I just called in half a day on Thursday for Aly’s appointment and now again. Bleh.

I’m not going to try and sleep anymore. Hopefully tonight won’t be as awful as yesterday. I’ve never NOT been able to sleep in my life. I’m going to catch up on Desperate Housewives since I missed it yesterday and then do some laundry while I have a chance.
