I slept like crap again last night…so so damn frustrating!! This morning my daughter came into my room at about 7:10 to tell me that her friend who usually drives her to school is sick, so she needed a ride today. So, instead of starting to get ready at7:30, my son and I started getting ready at 7:15! I drove her at around 8:10. My son wanted to wait for me at home on the iPad. My oldest daughter was home, just downstairs sleeping, so I told him that if he needed anything he had to go downstairs to get her!! Then, when I got back from dropping off my daughter, my oldest daughter was awake! However, my son didn’t go downstairs and get her, she came upstairs to go to the bathroom and saw that he was alone, so she stayed with him until I got home, a couple seconds later. Then we went to his school and I dropped him off!! When I got home, my daughter and I decided to go to Kingsway. I had some oatmeal and we made some tea to take with us. Then we got dressed and drove to Kingsway mall. We went to a few stores that she needed to go. It took a few hours! Then we drove back home. I was feeling super tired by the time we got home! My daughter and I started watching a show, but we only watched some of it and then I had to go pick up my son from school. When I got home, I drove my daughter to dance. Then I stopped at the Sobeys on the way home to get something for supper. I got supper cooking when I got home. Then my daughter, my son and I did his volcano. It was pretty boring, so we just added as much vinegar and baking soda as we wanted to make it a bit more exciting for him!! He got it all on video. I got a couple of photos!!

The second one is a screen shot taken in the middle of a video… and the first just shows how he set everything up before we added the vinegar and baking soda. Then we cleaned it up and went back inside. My son played on the Play Station and my daughter and I watched our FBI show until supper was ready. Then we had supper. After supper, we watched some more episodes of the same show and he continued playing the same game, until about 8:15, when I had to go pick up my daughter and her friend from dance. We got back home at about 9:20. My oldest daughter has to work tomorrow at 6:45am, so she went to bed not long after we got home. My son and I played a game for a while. Then I got him into bed. I went on my phone for a while. Now I’m going to get ready for bed. I’m praying that I’ll actually sleep tonight!!

I didn’t sleep yet again last night…so so frustrating!! I’m getting really sick of feeling exhausted all of the time! This morning I got my son ready for school, then dropped him off. After I got back, I had some oatmeal and then I went back to bed. I actually fell asleep quickly! I really wish that I would fall asleep that quickly at night… I slept until about 11:15. Then I talked to my daughter. We were going to go to the city, but we were both still really tired. She had worked until 4:30am and I hadn’t even fallen asleep until I laid down at 9:00am this morning!! So, we decided that we would stay home, because we were both still feeling exhausted!! I stayed in bed. I didn’t immediately fall right back to sleep, but I did end up resting a bit more! I got out of bed at about 2:30. I got dressed and picked up my daughter from school. It’s her early dance day, so I got her from school and my hubby got my son. I drove my daughter to dance and stopped at the Sobeys on the way home. Then when I got home I started to make supper. I was making a chicken stir fry. My daughter just wanted mashed potatoes, but she tried to eat a little bit of the chicken. We watched a couple episodes of NCIS and then a couple episodes of FBI. Then I got my son into bed. I went on my phone for a while, like I usually do. I’m sooo bloody tired, so hopefully I will actually get some sleep tonight!

“Hopefully one day I’ll get it right, or at least have fun, while about it I write!!”

I was awake again for most of last night…goodnesses it’s becoming so bloody frustrating!! I’m just so exhausted during the day!! I don’t know why I can’t sleep…it’s maddening! I got my son ready for school this morning and then, after dropping him off and having something to eat, I went back to bed. I did sleep for a while. Then I got up and did a bit of laundry. I picked up my daughter from school at 1:35, because she had her spare today. Then I went to bed again. I was just still feeling so tired! My hubby came home from work and he picked up my son from school. My daughter had something to go to at school this evening for a bit, so she ended up missing dance tonight. I got up when my hubby went to vote and go to the store. Then I woke up my oldest daughter and we went to vote and went to Shoppers and bought some things for Easter and then we went to Sobeys and bought some hotdog buns for supper. Then we came back home. My hubby had supper ready when we got home. My daughter and I watched a couple of episodes of NCIS. Then we looked at the voting results, it turns out that in Alberta there will be a Conservative government…surprisingly, they actually won by quite a lot! My daughter had to go to work. She works from 9:30 a 4:30am tonight, instead of the 11:00 – 7:00am shift. I read over my younger daughter’s essay, then I got my son into bed. I went on my phone for a while. Now I’m praying 🙏🏼 that I actually sleep tonight!! I’m going to get ready for bed now!

“Hopefully one day I’ll get it right, or at least have fun, while about it I write!!”

Last night was another night of zero sleep!! So damn frustrating!! I didn’t even get to bed all that late, but I couldn’t fall asleep! I was awake at 4:00am when I realized that my hubby’s alarm didn’t go off for work at 3:45am like it usually does, so I woke him up. Then I still couldn’t fall asleep. I know that they say that you should get up and do something if you can’t sleep, but I always look at the clock and get paranoid about how little sleep I’m going to get and worry that if I get up I really won’t get any sleep at all…but the stupid thing is, I was still awake when my morning alarm went off anyway!! My son went on the iPad for about a half an hour. My daughter came home from her night shift when my son and I had started getting ready for school. I got him ready and dropped him off. Then we had breakfast. After eating, I went back to bed. I think that I was so overtired that I couldn’t fall asleep. So I kind of just rested my eyes. My daughter went to bed also, since she worked all night! Even though I wasn’t really sleeping, I stayed in bed because I was so exhausted! After a while I watched some of the footage of the Notre Dame burning. So very tragic! Wow! Makes one wish that you had the money to have knocked that one off of the old bucket list! The repairs needed on that are going to last my lifetime at least! So damn sad! It was on fire for hours. They didn’t have a lot of fire trucks there, it didn’t look like. It almost seemed like they were letting some of it just burn in a controlled way, to not add too much water damage to the list of all of the damage! But, I’m no fire fighter, so what do I know?? I stayed in bed, not sleeping, on my phone, for most of the day. My dad called me in the afternoon to see if I was coming to the city to drive my daughter to dance. My mom tripped walking into Home Sense and was pretty shaken up. He drove there to get her. She scraped up her knee and leg, both of her wrists were sore and she chipped her front tooth! He wanted me or my hubby, whomever drove to the city, to go back to Home Sense with him to pick up my mom’s car. I said that we would definitely be able to do that with him!! Not much longer, I got up and picked up the kids from school. Then my hubby ended up driving my daughter to dance, because he had to go for an x-ray in the city anyway. When his x-ray was finished he called my dad, but they were still at the dentist, getting a temporary fix on my mom’s tooth! I told my dad that I could get the car later, because I drive back into the city to pick up my daughter and her friend, but my mom had calmed down enough after the dentist that she felt up to getting her car herself!! While my hubby was in the city, my son and I went to the Dollarama for some brown paint for his volcano and some glaze for after he was finished painting it! They didn’t have any toy dinosaurs. So we went to Sobeys and I bought some corn. Then we went to the Dollar Tree, they had toy dinosaurs! So we bought some there! Then we came back home. I talked to my mom on the phone, she sounded like she was doing better. She does want to talk to her dr about why she seems to be falling more often than usual. However, her tooth looks good, she said and other then being a bit sore, she will be okay. Which is good!! Then my son and I both changed into our pjs and then I went downstairs and I did a load of laundry and got some chicken out of the freezer. Then he put on a paint shirt and painted his volcano while I cooked supper. I was still feeling so tired that my eyes hurt! I helped him with the glaze once the paint dried, because we found that if you didn’t spread it thin enough it looked white and covered up his paint job that he just worked so hard at!! Then we finished it just as supper was ready! My hubby woke up my daughter and we had supper. She and I watched a couple shows, while my son watched YouTube. My hubby went to bed. Then at about 9:15, I left to pick up my younger daughter and her friend from dance. My oldest daughter put my son to bed while I was gone. He really didn’t want me to leave tonight and cried when I was leaving, but my daughter hugged him as I was going and took him upstairs and read and sang to him! I got them from dance and we dropped off her friend. Then we came home. My oldest daughter and I watched the last 10 minutes of our show before she had to leave for work. Then I put the laundry in the dryer and hung some of it up. Then I came upstairs and went on my phone for a while. Now I’m going to get ready for bed. Hopefully I will sleep tonight! I’m certainly exhausted after not sleeping at all last night or all day today…

“Hopefully one day I’ll get it right, or at least have fun, while about it I write!!”

Last night I went to bed at a better time then I did the night before. However, I still didn’t fall asleep right away. Once I did fall asleep, it wasn’t into a very deep sleep. It’s like I’m kind of half asleep and half awake. I was awake when my hubby got up at around 4:00am again. I fell asleep at around 7:00am and slept until my son wanted the iPad at about 10:00. Then he wanted to go downstairs, at about noon!! I was shocked that he didn’t bug me until then! He was on the iPad and I actually slept from 10:00 until noon, without being my usual half awake, which was not the norm for me!! He went downstairs and played Fortnite with his friend. My hubby made him some food. I talked to my daughter about her essay that she was working on and the format. She wasn’t sure if she should have 3 body paragraphs, or if 2 were enough. She felt like she had covered all of the information in the two that she had written and that if she wrote a third that it would just be for the sake of having 3 paragraphs, but that the 3rd one probably wouldn’t have much content in it. She didn’t come to a conclusion after we talked about it. I went on my phone for a bit. Then I got up and had a shower. After my shower, I dried my hair, got dressed and had something to eat. Then I did my son’s hair. My younger daughter and I went to La Senza in South Common, because she needed a new dance bra. From there we drove to my mom and dad’s house. The rest of the family was meeting us there. They were taking the black car. We talked for a while, then we played Skip Bo. We weren’t able to finish the game before supper was ready. So, we stopped playing and set the table for supper. After supper we had some coffee and brownies and played a couple rounds of Crokinole (huh, I feel like I spelled that differently the last time that I wrote it on here, but that’s how google tells me how to spell it…) Then we drove home. My oldest daughter went with my hubby and my younger daughter and my son came in the van with me. When we got home, my son had a quick shower. I went to Sobeys quickly to get lunch stuff for tomorrow, my hubby went to bed and my oldest daughter had a nap before she had to go to work to do another night shift. When I got home I got my son into bed. My daughter decided to keep her essay with the two body paragraphs for now and just wrote the conclusion, because she just needed it done for peer-review tomorrow and she’s going to ask her friend, who always reviews hers, what her opinion is. I went on my phone for a while. Now I’m going to, hopefully, actually get some sleep!!

“Hopefully one day I’ll get it right, or at least have fun, while about it I write!!”

I didn’t really sleep at all last night!! I mean at all… I was awake pretty much for the entire night!! I ended up going to bed far too late last night and then I couldn’t even fall asleep! Then I heard my hubby get out of bed at 4:00 in the morning, probably because he gets up at about that time for work during the week, so his body is on that schedule. I was also still awake when my oldest daughter came home from her night shift at around 6:45am, a bit early. I don’t know if I should have just gotten up or not, but I was feeling tired and had a headache, so I just continued lying down in bed, not sleeping. So so frustrating…my son asked me for the iPad at about 10:30 in the morning. I kind of half drifted off, but never really actually ended up really sleeping. My son and I ended up going downstairs after a bit. He played Fortnite with an online friend. I got us some food and I had my tea. My hubby came home from my parent’s house. He and my dad were working on the Miata, the back window was torn, so they were gluing in new convertible window plastic to fix it. At about 3:30 I could hardly keep my eyes open, so I went back upstairs and actually had a nap for a while. I did actually sleep for a couple hours, which was different from in the night! My younger daughter came in for a while and we talked. Then I just laid down for a while. Then my oldest daughter came upstairs and was wondering why I didn’t wake her up when I said that I was going to. It was because I was in bed myself!! We talked for a while, then we went downstairs and decided what to make for supper. We decided on breakfast sandwiches. So my daughter quickly went to Sobeys and bought english muffins and orange juice, while I cleaned our breakfast sandwich maker. My hubby cooked the sausage patties. Then my daughter and I cooked the breakfast sandwiches. They were tasty!! The problem with them is that the sandwich maker only makes 1 at a time, so it took a while to make 2 for everyone!! (My younger daughter was at her friend’s house, so we had to make 8, still, it took a while…) Anyway, my son played the play station on the computer monitor and my daughter and I watched a couple shows on the tv until she had to go to work. She had another night shift tonight, not turning out to be her favourite shift!! After she left for work, I got my son ready and into bed. Then I went on my phone for a while. Now I’m going to get myself ready for bed too!! I’m still feeling pretty darn exhausted…

“Hopefully one day I’ll get it right, or at least have fun, while about it I write!!”

This morning I slept in. My son woke up and went on the iPad for a while (the kids didn’t have school today, because it was a PD day… I feel like they get a lot of those!!) Anyway, after giving my son the iPad and ear buds, I went back to sleep for a while. I did stay up rather late with my daughter last night watching tv last night…so I was feeling pretty tired!! When I did get up, my son and I went downstairs. We had something to eat and I had my tea. Then we decided to do his volcano kit that he got for Christmas from my mom and dad. We had to mix the plaster and then pour it into the mould. It needed to sit for a while. So my son wanted to play a game with his walkie talkies. However, when we tried to play with them, we discovered that the batteries were dead and that they took 9volt batteries. So, we decided that we would go to the store to buy some. I decided to get something for supper while we were out!! So, we went to the Dollarama for batteries. Then we went to Sobeys. From there we went to the liquor store, because my hubby wanted rum. Then we went to Seven Eleven and bought my son and the girls slurpies!! From there we went home!! By the time we got home, the plaster had sat in the mould for long enough, so we took the mould off. It looked pretty cool! It still needed to dry for 24 more hours. Then my son can paint the volcano. Tomorrow we’re going to go back to the Dollarama so that he can buy some cheap dinosaur toys that he wants to get caught in the volcano when it erupts!! (This is going to be messy…) After we took it out of the mould, I put the groceries away. My oldest daughter did the dishes and I started supper. My younger daughter grabbed her supper to go, because she was going out. Then the rest of us ate supper and watched the movie The House With A Clock In It’s Walls. It was really good. My hubby went to bed about 10 minutes into it. So, my oldest daughter, my son and I watched it together. My younger daughter came home when we were about 15 minutes from the end of it! We all really enjoyed it! It was funny and entertaining! I usually enjoy Jack Black, because he generally makes me laugh!! When it was finished, my oldest daughter got ready to go to work, because they’re training her on the overnights, even though she definitely wasn’t looking forward to it! My son and I played an Iron Man card game that he got for Christmas that he hadn’t yet played!! Then I took him upstairs and got him ready for bed! Then I went on my phone for a while! Now I’m going to get ready for bed!

“Hopefully one day I’ll get it right, or at least have fun, while about it I write!!”

This morning I was super exhausted and feeling nauseous. After dropping off my son at school I had something to eat, did some laundry and then went back to bed. I slept horribly for some reason last night… I fell asleep super quickly and slept for a long time!! When I got up I did some more laundry. Then I did the dishes. Afterwards, I got dressed and went and picked up the kids from school. A couple of my daughter’s dance classes were canceled today. So my oldest daughter and I watched a show before I drove my daughter to dance. I dropped her off and then I drove home and made supper. After supper my daughter and I caught up on all of the NCIS New Orleans shows that we were behind on. Then we started watching the new Pretty Little Liars show called The Perfectionists. Afterwards, I got my son into bed and now I’m going to get myself into bed.

“Hopefully one day I’ll get it right, or at least have fun, while about it I write!!”

This morning after I dropped off my son, I came home and my daughter was sitting by the main floor bathroom feeling super nauseous (welcome to my life!!). The Tylenol 3’s that they gave her for pain, along with the antibiotics make her feel nauseous and some days are worse than others. I gave her a piece of bread to try to eat, because she still hasn’t been eating a lot, which doesn’t help!!! She started trying to eat it, while I made myself some oatmeal. Then, while I was eating, she ran and started throwing up! (Not exactly a very appetizing sound to hear when you’re try to eat…) I actually think that getting sick helped, because she felt a bit better afterwards! She decided to go back to bed. She was supposed to return to work yesterday, but took two more days of work off, intending to go back tomorrow. I really hope that she does!! I unloaded and loaded the dishwasher. Then I did some laundry, because we desperately needed clean dish towels! After that I stripped the sheets off of my bed and put clean ones on! Then, at around noon I decided that I would have a nap. I was feeling pretty tired, since I fell asleep late last night and woke up a ton of times!! I actually fell asleep quite quickly! I slept until about 2:40. Then I got up and got dressed. I drove to my daughter’s school and picked her up. My hubby went to pick up my son from his school. My daughter has to be at dance by 4:00 on Wednesday’s, so it’s nice to leave by 3:30, but if we get my son we aren’t even getting home until that time! Then we end up arriving late for dance! So, I drove her to dance, then I drove back home. Once I was home, my daughter and I watched a show on hgtv. Then we did did some more laundry. My hubby made spaghetti for supper, so we ate supper. After eating, we watched a couple of episodes of NCIS New Orleans. Then I had to get dressed again and drive back to the studio to pick up my daughter and her friend from dance. We dropped off her friend and then came home. My daughter had already let the dogs out and in, so I just filled up water bottles. My oldest daughter and I checked the laundry that we started and we took out the garbage and recycling. Then I went upstairs and started to get ready for bed. Then I wrote this. I’m going to go on my phone for a bit, then I’m going to go to bed.

“Hopefully one day I’ll get it right, or at least have fun, while about it I write!!”

This morning after I dropped off my son at school, I had some oatmeal. Then I did some laundry. Afterwards I read for a while. Then I went on my phone. At about 12:00 I decided to have a bit of a nap. I laid down until I went to pick up my daughter from school at around 1:45. When we came back home, I went back upstairs to my bedroom. I went into my bathroom and cleaned my toilet. I didn’t get to the counter like I wanted to. Then I went on my phone for a while. At about 3:30 I got ready to drive my daughter to dance. We left around 4:00. I dropped her off and went to Timmy’s. I ordered my usual earl grey tea (2 milks, 1 honey) and a muffin. I was super disappointed when I got back to the studio and discovered that they gave me peppermint tea (2 milks, 1 honey)!! Especially because if I were to order peppermint tea I wouldn’t add milk!! I’d still get the honey though… I decided that it wasn’t worth driving back, because it was during rush hour traffic. So I just drank the wrong tea😔 When my daughter was finished dancing, I drove her to the church that sponsors the camp that she works at in the summer, because they had a meeting for the counsellors that are planning on returning this summer. It was kind of an interview, but not really, because a few of them from last summer are pretty much guaranteed a position this summer! Her friend from town was also there. So, I just had to drop her off and then she had a ride home!! When I got back into town I went to Sobeys and bought some yogurt tubes for my son’s lunches and a caesar salad for myself for supper. Then I went home. It was almost 7:20. My hubby went to bed about 10 minutes after I got home. He’s not feeling well. My daughter and I watched another episode of the Mary Kondo show on Netflix while my son watched YouTube videos on the iPad. My daughter got home from her camp meeting later then I expected. She said that it went well! I got water and let the dogs out and in. Then I got my son ready for bed. I went on my phone for a while. Now I’m going to get myself ready for bed!
