In Search of Sleep . . .
Phew. Ian did not sleep well. He roused every two hours with the worst restlessness between 1-2am. I'd just fallen deep asleep when he started kicking. He is a lucky baby and gets to cosleeep. Usually we're a happy pile, especially lately. I was surprised when his wails only grew louder instead of settling down. I got him water and it took him forty minutes to relax. By then I was wide awake and it took me another twenty minutes to crash out. Alarm pealing at 6am so . . . four hours of sleep?
No wonder I'm crumbling today. I pulled it together for school and two meetings long into the afternoon/evening. Stepped into the house at 5pm and hit. the. wall. Medication today did fine until I crashed this evening. The flu-like symptoms/side effects returned. Ugh.
The shine of the day really is my students and school. I have such a wonderful class. We started reading groups and the students announce, I can read! Makes my heart glad. And in the meetings I felt the commitment and investment of so many people into the well being of every students at our school. What an amazing place.
Tomorrow will be payback, I know. But I'm excited for a fun weekend. So I must keep the to do list short tomorrow morning. Only laundry, packing, cleaning bathroom, and Anika's room. Only :)
