Where to Start?

So much has happened.

Took Wednesday off. Got up at 7:00 (blah) fed and bathed the girls. Went to the mall for portriats. We ate in the foodcourt, picked up our pictures, came home and napped all afternoon. The highpoint was getting a great portrait of my little one (she was overdue) The lowpoint was having my almost 6 yr old scream at me and tell me she wasn't getting her picture taken (oh and spanking her in the restroom :-(

Worked on Thursday but decided to take Friday off. I wanted to get lots of spring cleaning done. I did a lot, but fell far short of my goal. The problem is that my sinuses are still fubar and somehow that has translated into a sleep disorder. I am (unmedicated ) tossing and turning all night long and waking up exhausted with a headache. This pattern has been repeating for at least four of five nights now. I don't know if it is a side affect of the decongestants I have been sporadically taking to clear my head. I have been using some non-drowsy formulas for the daytime and a nighttime one at bedtime, but I've only taken them maybe two times all week. I don't know if that is enough to make sleep impossible. But I don't seem to have trouble sleeping in the afternoon. Today I fell asleep with my daughter while attempting to put her down for a nap. I actually turned down the chance to go dancing downtown because I felt so crummy on Friday. I'm glad I didn't go though, getting going this morning was almost impossible after the shitty night of 'sleep'.

I guess I could take some sleep aid, although based on the news I'd be scared that I'd end up driving to work at 2:00 am on a Sunday in my pj's. I just hope that whatever it is stops happening soon. I've noticed that the kids seem extra tired too though (my older one announced today that she likes naps?!?) So I am wondering if we have poor air quality in our home. Well I guess we probably do as I am not the world's best house keeper and we have dog dander on top of that. Soon we'll have a few days warm enough we can air this place out. I'm sure that will help.

I have more to do, but I did spend a couple minutes catching up on blogs tonight. Does anyone know what has happened to Emma? I suspect she took down the blogs due to a 'sticky' situation of some kind...
