Vent

Last night was terrible. I am getting this annoying cold that is just bad enough to keep me from sleeping, but not so bad that I'm dying. Last night my nose was plugged and running at the same time, and when I tried to breathe through my mouth, my throat got tickley and I had to cough. Then I would be worried I'd wake up Blair, so I'd try with all my might to stifle the coughs, and it just made it that much harder to fall asleep. Anytime I'd get close to falling asleep, Cami would wake up. We're doing the "cry it out" thing right now, so I'd just lay there waiting for her to comfort herself and go back to sleep. After laying in bed awake turning round and round trying to find a comfortable position till 1am, I finally gave it up and went to the couch to watch some tv, hoping I'd get tired. When that didn't work, I made myself some hot cocoa. Sometimes the warmth makes me sleepy. That seemed to help a little, so I went back to bed. Forgot my water, so got back up to get the water. Forgot my pillow on the couch, so I had to get back up to get it. Got back in bed and realized I had to pee. Got up to do that. Finally got in bed again, and the last time I looked at the clock it was 2:30am. 5:30 rolls around, and Cami wakes up again. My left leg was seriously aching. (I get leg aches every so often, but this was terrible) After feeding Cami, I got some Ibuprofen and fished the heating pad out from under the bed being as quiet as possible, and put it around my leg. It took another 10 minutes for it to heat up. Finally some relief. Next thing I know it's 8:30am and it's time to get up and get ready for Music Makers. Now I'm just biding my time until Cami decides she feels like a nap. I sure hope tonight goes better...
