This morning after I dropped off the kids at school, I woke up my oldest daughter. She got dressed and we drove to the lab in town. She had a couple lab requisitions. We didn’t have to wait very long. Once she was finished we went back home. I tried to eat a bit of yogurt, but my tummy was just bad. She stayed up, because she had to leave for work in about an hour and 15 minutes. I only slept on and off again last night, so I went back to bed for a while. I got up at about 1:30. I started making stew for supper. It takes a while, which is why I started so early. My hubby left to get the kids from school, so that I could finish getting everything prepared for the stew before I had to leave to drive my daughter to dance. They got back. My daughter changed and I told my hubby when to add the veggies to the stew. Then I drove my daughter to dance. I bought some basil when I got back in town and then I went home. I checked on supper. I stayed in the kitchen mostly. My hubby ate and left for work. He found out that his last day is on December 20th. We are just praying that he finds something else before that date. If he doesn’t, we don’t know what we are going to do. We will be absolutely screwed!!! I waited until my daughter came home from work to eat my supper. Then I got her, my son and myself some supper. I still have major tummy issues and diarrhea, I only had a very small bowl of supper for myself. Everything makes me gag, brushing my teeth, if the wind blows my hair in my mouth, absolutely everything! It’s just not fun! My daughter and I watched a couple shows. Then she got my son into bed while I picked up my daughter and her friend from dance. They were both asleep when we got home. I woke her up. We watched a show. Now I’m going to attempt to sleep through the night.

Night All! 💤😴

Feeling Sick And Tired

I slept just as poorly last night as I did the night before. I was still lying in bed awake again when my hubby came to bed this morning. I am so darn sick of it!! My son woke up around 11:00 again and I was not really sleeping. He went on my phone. I got him something to eat at about 1:30. Then my hubby got up with him at about 2:00. My hubby left for Costco at around 2:30, so I got out of bed and went downstairs. As usual, both my head and tummy were bad, I’ve had diarrhea accompanying my sick tummy for the past four days and it was even worse today. I can’t go to the bathroom without having diarrhea. Good times, good times! I talked to my hubby on the phone about what we needed from Costco. Then I did some laundry. After that I had a bit of yogurt even though I didn’t feel like eating, I just felt like I should eat. I made some tea. I sat down for a short while. Then my hubby came home. We all helped carry the groceries in and put them away. Then my younger daughter emptied the dishwasher and my oldest daughter filled it. I got dressed and went to get a few things that we get at Sobeys, that we can’t get at Costco. Then I went to Rexall. I picked up my daughter’s prescription and a few of mine. They gave me the injections that my dr said the pharmacist would be injecting into me to take home. They’re fairly certain that I’m going to be doing them myself. However, they still don’t know if the injection is supposed to be sub-cutaneous or into the muscle. They are hoping to talk to my dr tomorrow. I have absolutely zero idea how to give myself a sub-cutaneous injection!! At all!! The injections that I already give myself for my migraines are into the muscle, so I can deal with those I guess. However, this is 3 injections in a row. When I spoke to my dr it sounded like it was a mix of 3 medications in one injection, but they gave me 3 separate vials. I really have a distinct feeling that they have absolutely no idea what they are doing. I may just call Dr Hauptman myself to clarify. Especially if the pharmacy calls me and tells me to go ahead and do this myself!! It all seems to be the exact opposite of what my dr originally said to me… I guess that I will wait until tomorrow and see what they have to say after they talk to him. The pharmacy bill was super expensive! I had to put it on credit, since we’re totally broke!! Our coverage is just crap! I came home after the pharmacy and made some gravy to go with supper. My hubby brought home a pre-baked chicken from Costco and we made some mashed potatoes and frozen veggies to go with it. Once the gravy was finished we sat down for supper together. It’s been a while since we’ve all been home to sit down for a meal together. I only ate a tiny amount. My tummy is super nauseous. After supper I was checking the laundry when my dog got sick. It is not fun to clean up vomit when you feel sick yourself… I was gagging the entire time and I actually threw-up in my mouth and had to run out of the room!! (Sorry…too much information?!) My hubby gave my son a bath, so I found him some pjs and then went back to my laundry. My son wanted us to watch him finish his Zelda game (for the second time). Then I got him ready for bed. I’m going to do the same thing myself. I’m praying that I actually sleep. I feel so awful and I just want some sleep…please!

Night All! 💤😴

I didn’t sleep at all last night! I was so damn frustrated and tired! I was still lying here awake wishing and praying that I would just fall asleep when my hubby came to bed early this morning at 5:30-6:00. I was in and out for a bit, but never really fell fully asleep when my son woke up around 11:00 and asked me if he could go on my phone. I finally got about 2.5 to 3hours of sleep from about 12:00/12:30 to 3:00. Then I had to get up. I had a shower in an attempt to wake myself up better. Then I got dressed and drove my daughter to her production rehearsal at dance. I at a bit of leftovers while she danced and I talked to my mom. She left a bit early. We drove to Leduc to the McLabb Theatre to watch the Beaumont high school’s production of Momma Mia. It was quite good! Our neighbour’s daughter was the lead and she was absolutely fabulous!! Also, a couple of my daughter’s best friends had roles behind the scenes. We got home at around 10:00. We were both hungry. So, we had something to eat. Then I got my son into bed. Now I’m going to bed too. I’m so so tired. My tummy is nauseous and my head is pounding. I’m so exhausted that my eyes are red from zero sleep last night. I’m praying for a better sleep tonight!!

Night All! 💤😴

This morning after dropping off my son, I went back to bed until 11:30. Then I got up and got dressed and ready to go out. I had something small to eat. Then my oldest daughter and I went to the South Common Theatres and Watched Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes Of Grindelwald, my daughter’s treat!! It was so so good!!! We really enjoyed it! The last half an hour was constant action and excitement and was full of surprises and was super fun! I highly recommend it, assuming, of course, that you have seen the first one, which is also amazing!! Once it was over, we popped into Bed, Bath And Beyond because their flyer had a bunch of Harry Potter merchandise that my daughter wanted to check out. We didn’t actually buy anything, we just looked at things. Then we drove back to town. We grabbed two things from Sobeys and then went home. Once at home we had supper. Then we binge watched Charmed. I got my son into bed and watched a bit more of our show. Now I’m going to go to bed. Hopefully I’ll sleep!

This morning I was bloody tired and I went back to bed as soon as I got home from dropping off my son at school. Last night I actually fell asleep when I went to bed, the problem is that I woke up at 4:00am and stayed awake until my damn alarm went off at 7:00am! Let me tell you that sucked!! I slept until noon. Then I had to take our small dog to the groomer. We found a local lady, she was super nice! She let me pay lower then her usual rate. My daughter actually paid for it. I dropped my dog off at about 12:30 and stayed for about a half an hour. She looks so much better!! Then I picked her up about an hour and a half later. Then I came home and I left again about 30 minutes later to pick up the kids from school. I brought them home, then I drove my daughter to dance. I drove back home and I made supper. There were enough leftovers for my hubby to eat before work. I cooked for my son, my oldest and I. After eating, my daughter and I watched a couple shows while my son watched some YouTube videos. Then my daughter was dropped off from dance. She was hungry, so I made her some food quickly, then I got my son into bed. I watched a couple more shows with my daughter then I got ready for bed. Now I’m going to attempt to get some sleep.

This morning my son still seemed a bit lethargic and out of it, so I let him stay home for another day. My daughter’s friend picked her up for school. My son and I fell back to sleep. We slept for a while. When he woke up he went on my phone and watched YouTube videos. Then I got up and went on my phone and made a couple walk-in dr appointments at the Beaumont walk-in clinic in town for this evening. Then my son and I stayed upstairs for a bit. Then I got dressed and went and picked up my daughter from school. We came home and she quickly changed and then I had to drive her to dance right away. I drove back to town and went to No Frills. I got a few groceries. Then I came home and made meatloaf. My oldest daughter helped me by chopping up some peppers, onion and garlic. Once it was in the oven, my hubby had to leave for work. My daughter’s walk-in appointment was first, so she had to leave. I stayed home and was with my son and kept an eye on the supper. They were taking forever to bring my daughter into a room. Even though my appointment wasn’t supposed to be until an hour after hers, it was getting close to my appointment time. She told the lady at the front desk, so she hopped into my van and came and picked us up. We all went back to the clinic and went into the little clinician’s room together. I needed a refill for my tummy medication and my daughter needed her nasal spray. We finally saw the dr, my daughter sure waited forever!! Then we dropped off our prescriptions at the pharmacy and went back home and finally were able to eat supper! We started watching a show, but we weren’t able to finish it, because I had to pick up my daughter from dance. I got her and we stopped at the pharmacy on the way home. They had 3 prescriptions ready for me and they cost more money then we had in the bank. So I had to ask them to hold onto one of them until I can afford to pay for it. I had my daughter’s bank card to pay for her prescription. It was about $43 though. Pretty expensive. She has zero health insurance right now and our coverage is crappy!! Once I had the prescriptions I went through the drive through at the bank with my daughter’s bank card and took out $40 for our dog’s grooming appointment tomorrow that she is paying for. Then we drove home. At home I went upstairs and finished putting my son to bed. Then I watched a couple shows with my daughter. Now I’m going to get ready for bed and attempt to get some sleep. Wish me luck with that…

I went to bed at a fairly good time last night, but of course I didn’t fall asleep right away. I slept off and on. My son didn’t go to school today. I woke up at about 7:40. I made sure that my daughter was awake. She had a ride to school with a friend. I also called my son’s school while I was awake to let them know that he wasn’t going to be there today. Then I went back to bed for a while. It was my hubby’s birthday today. We didn’t really do anything for it though. He slept a lot of the day, since he had to work all night tonight. When I woke up I had something small to eat. Then I wrapped the two small gifts that we got my hubby. I picked up my daughter from school. Then we gave my hubby his gifts. I had to drive my daughter to dance at around 4:00. After I dropped her off, I went to my parent’s house while she danced, because it’s her short night tonight. I picked her up at 6:15 and we drove home. Then I made supper for everyone. I made soup for my oldest daughter and son, because they were both feeling sick (my oldest daughter started feeling sick early this morning) and I made something else for my other daughter and I. Then we watched a show and I got my son into bed. I went on my phone for a while. I got ready for bed and now I’m going to try to get to sleep. It never really happens…

Night All! 💤😴

Still A Little Sicky

Last night my son was up all night either moaning and groaning and holding his tummy because it was hurting him so much, or he was actually throwing up. He was finally able to keep down a few sips of water and some children’s gravol at 11:30am this morning. Then we both finally fell asleep and slept until about 2:30 or 3:00. That was about all of the sleep that we got. He spent the rest of the day and evening on the couch cuddled under blankets sipping chicken noodle soup and nibbling on saltine crackers. I had to drive my daughter to dance. My oldest daughter came with us. After dropping off my younger daughter at dance, we went to my parent’s house and visited with my parents and my aunt and my cousin again, since my daughter didn’t get to see them yesterday because she was working when we went to see them. We had supper with them. Then we played Harry Potter Trivial Pursuit. Afterwards, my daughter and I drove back to town. We stopped at the Sobeys and bought groceries for school lunches and a few other things and we also got a couple things at Shoppers. Then we went home. Once at home we put the groceries away. Then I got my son into bed. I got a couple things done. Then I read for a while and went on my phone. Now I’m feeling quite exhausted, let’s hope that I can actually get some sleep tonight. My son seems exhausted and will hopefully sleep all night. Fingers crossed that I do as well!!

Night All! 💤😴

I had an alarm set for 12:30 today. Last night I was in bed quite early. Much earlier than I have been getting to bed. I drifted in and out of sleep all night. I had hours at a time when I just laid there not sleeping and short periods where I actually slept. Sadly, the sleeping times were shorter than the awake moments. My son woke up before everyone else and went on my phone. He laid on the bed in between my hubby and I and watched YouTube videos. When I finally actually got up I talked to my mom. The pharmacy called me. They figured out that they can mix the medications together for the injection that the pharmacist has to give me. However, they now need to figure out if it needs to be injected sub-cutaneously or into the muscle. I simply don’t understand why they are only looking into one little part of the prescription each day. It’s very frustrating!! It’s taken them too long and they won’t even be able to do it tomorrow, because of the holiday. So I’ll be waiting until at least Tuesday now. Grrr… My hubby and son went downstairs together. I had a long, hot, relaxing shower. Then I had something small to eat and got dressed. My oldest daughter went to work. The rest of us dropped off my younger daughter at dance for her solo practice and then we went to my mom and dad’s house. My aunt is in town visiting from BC, also my cousin, her daughter was over as well. We played Wizard. My hubby had to leave to pick up my daughter from dance. When they got back my daughter joined in the game. My hubby was feeling tired. He sat on the couch and fell asleep. When we finished the game, everyone set the table. I went into the bathroom in my parent’s bedroom and gave myself one of my injections for my headaches. Then we all sat down for a delicious supper. Right when we sat down my son told me that his tummy wasn’t feeling well. He really didn’t feel good. So I told him to lie down on the couch. After supper, when I was helping my dad get stuff together for coffee, my son came running from the couch to the bathroom. I could tell that he was going to be sick, so I followed him into the bathroom. He got majorly sick. He went back onto the couch for a bit, while we had dessert and I had a cup of coffee. He got sick again. Then we went home. We were just pulling into the driveway when he started saying that he was going to be sick again. My hubby got him into the house quickly and he made it to the bathroom. I quickly got him ready for bed. I tried to give him children’s gravel for his tummy, but he couldn’t keep anything down. He fell asleep beside me in our bed. Then I got myself ready for bed. I went on my phone for a while. Now I’m going to try to get some sleep.

Night All! 💤😴

What Is This Thing Called Sleep?!

Last night was rough… I couldn’t fall asleep. Which is not exactly big news. I was still awake when my hubby came to bed at around 4:30am. I finally drifted off some time after that. However, I woke up early and couldn’t fall back to sleep. Then my alarm went off early, because my son was being dropped off at about 9:30 from the sleepover. My hubby went downstairs and I stayed in bed, but of course, once I was awake I was unable to fall back asleep. I was somewhat sleepy when my son came upstairs to say good morning. Then I laid here until about 12:30. Then I had to get up and get myself ready to take my son to a birthday party. After dropping him off I went to Sobeys and then to Rexall. They didn’t have any of my nasal migraine medication that they told me that they would have. Apparently I have to wait until they can order it on Tuesday. Also, they found the right prescription that the pharmacist is supposed to inject into me, but aren’t certain if the medications can be combined or not, so they couldn’t do it today. They may be able to do it tomorrow. They “forgot” to get the rest of the vials ready for me…sigh. My watch has been stuck on the same time for the past few days, so I went to a few places looking for the correct battery. I was just about to give up, but decided to check Home Hardware in a last ditch effort and Yay!! they had the correct one!! So now my watch is working again. When I came home I got a chicken cooking in the oven and peeled some potatoes, so that when it was time, they would just have to be turned on. Then I went upstairs to my room and gave myself an injection and laid down. I was exhausted and felt nauseous and had a super migraine all day. I was so tired that I couldn’t focus or think straight. All of these weird sleepless nights are starting to catch up with me. I set a google alarm, just in case I actually did fall asleep. I didn’t expect to. I just kind of laid there. I did drift in and out a bit. I got up when my alarm went off and went downstairs. My hubby had put the meat thermometer into the chicken like I’d asked and started the potatoes. I left and picked up my son from the birthday party. Then I came home and made the gravy. My younger daughter mashed the potatoes while I was gone and my hubby did the frozen veggies. My son had pizza and cake at the party and my oldest was at work, so my younger daughter, my hubby and I had supper. Then I made a plate of food for my oldest daughter and cleaned up. I was still feeling awful. So I went upstairs and laid down until it was my son’s bedtime. Then I got him into bed. Afterwards, I got myself ready for bed. Now I’m going to try to see if I can actually fall asleep. I really doubt it, sleep doesn’t seem to be in my cards…but hey, it’s worth a try right?!
