Because of all the pain, I decided to take some better (prescription) medicine last night so that I could sleep. I don't like to do that because I sleep a lot harder and can't really do more than grunt if someone needs something in the middle of the night. My kids are just a little young, and the twins are terrible sleepers, so I'm just uncomfortable with doing that. Still, I decided to do it last night because I was just becoming a total shrew to my husband and yelling at my kids way too much because of my own lack of sleep.
It worked. I have clarity in my brain. I can think, my kids are less irritating (yeah, that's my fault) and my left eye works better because I didn't use it all night trying to get over the pain. It's not too tired to function properly at noon.
Thank God for drugs!
Now, I probably would be even better if it weren't for Ali coming in to my bed in the middle of the night (and like I said, I can't do more than grunt at her, so we just cuddled and she slept there), and then came Becca later (I have no idea how much later...the sun still wasn't up, though). Good thing Tony and I have a king sized bed. Still, I am refreshed.
Will I do it again tonight? Probably not. I think I'll just stick to once or twice a week, I don't want to get dependent on it to sleep.
Mama's happier, so the whole house is happier. It's not perfect, but I can't see that happening anytime soon. I'm just happy with a little rest.
