Sleepless


Well last night I had to take Addy to the hospital for a sleep study that was ordered last August and just couldn't be completed due to illness or surgery. So I was really looking forward to getting this done so we can prove that she really doesn't need the O2 anymore. Well she fell asleep before check in at 8 p.m. She is usually down by 7 and they wanted me to go ahead and wait to bring her. BIG mistake! She slept four about 45 minutes and then was ready to party. After we spent an hour getting her hooked up to as many leeds as possible and making her very mad, they finally left us alone so she could go to sleep. Well that didn't happen until after midnight! She fussed and complained and tossed and turned. She never does that. At three she was in a full blown screaming fit, once again, something she never does. Therefore, I spent all night trying to comfort her with no avail. This morning when it was time to leave they did ask if that was a typical sleep pattern for her. I had to laugh, are you kidding me? I thought. If I had nights like that every night I think I would go crazy! So I travel the thirty minutes back home to Scott and the kids and this is what I came home to (after no sleep mind you), Avery's clothes completely did not match and Jarika was chomping at the bit to go take her drivers test (45 minutes away). So here I go with my precious 16 year old daughter to a little podunk town to give her the license to drive! She passed and we came on home to get my car. Then she followed me to school so I could sign her in and I just cried. I don't know if it was the sleeplessness or the fact that my baby was now on her own! So, hopefully tonight I can fit in a jacuzzi and a full nights sleep!
