I Don't Remember Eating That!

The last few nights/mornings, Erin has been getting up at odd hours. Yesterday it was 5am and I couldn't get her back to bed until after 6:30 when I finally put her in my bed. Today, it was 4am. I wasn't playing the yo-yo game. I put her back to bed once and then I put her in my bed. I tried my hardest to get back to sleep, but as I lay there, I kept feeling sicker and sicker. Finally, I just gave up and got back up, thinking that if I sit upright, I'll feel better. No suck luck. I managed to throw up everything I had eaten. As I'm getting rid of my food, I notice hot dog chunks. I didn't remember eating hot dogs, but then I remembered that Mom and I went to pioneer days and had corn dogs. Mystery solved. It seems that lately, if I get woken up in the middle of the night, I get really sick to my stomach. It's weird. I'm usually lucky if I get to sleep before 1am and then to get woke up 3 to 4 hrs later, yuck. I did manage to get to sleep around midnight, so I got about 4hrs of sleep. Lucky me.

I don't know what keeps getting Erin up. When she was laying with me, her legs were really restless, which makes it very hard for me to sleep. She's a little bed hog to begin with and when she kicks her legs, that makes it even worse. She has a queen size bed, and she seems to use every inch of it. I would like to get her a twin size bed, because in my twisted logic, I think that she would sleep better in a smaller space because she would feel more secure. I don't know. It really makes sense in my head. It's just hard for me to put it into words, especially right now in my sleep deprived state. I'm such a light sleeper, Dan says that I would hear a mouse fart. I think he is right, but it is so hard for me to get into a deep sleep because Erin is such a wandered and she is so quiet about it. I wouldn't want her to hurt herself.

On a lighter note, I had the nephews again today, they were good. We took the older two to pioneer days with us and then at suppertime, Skyler just would not eat, Dan told him he needed to finish his supper and when Dan went to take his shower to get ready for work, Skyler told me that he just was not in the mood for my cooking. Smart kid. I'm usually not in the mood for my cooking either.

Well, I'm going to start getting the kids moving. Erin's bus will be here at 7:10. At least I can always sleep after they go to school.
