Sleep Deprivation contributes to RAGE....

Each night I spend the majority going back and forth to the bathroom. I don't settle down easily either. So, every hour and a half I go pee then spend the next 20-30 minutes trying to return to that sweet slumber. By 5:30 am, my bladder is finally empty. Giving me from 5:30 til 9 am to get some much needed uninterrupted sleep.

Monday I was woken up by the girls screaming over clothes. At the ages of 17 and nearly 16 they somehow can't figure out that they shouldn't wear each others clothes. It creates chaos but, no they have reached that level of maturity yet. Instead, it is still "mine, mine, mine!" and "I want what I want."

Tuesday, I was woken up with youngest daughter unable to find shoes. She threw the bigggest fit because she lost her own shoes. Grr!

Wednesday, I spent the from 12 am to 3 am in the emergency room with the oldest. Who had a Pylo infection and was in alot of pain. They gave her morphine and IV antibiotics. We went home in hopes of sleep before I had to get up and get her meds from the pharmacy. At 6 am, the youngest daughter starts texting me how she is too sick to go to school. This is a game she plays once or twice a month. So, I had to force her off to school.

Today, I am once again woken about the shoe issue and then I had to make sure the youngest brushed out his hair. It just seems they are insistent on waking me. I feel asleep at 10 for a much needed nap. When the oldest decides to wake me to see if she can make pudding!

I am so tired I feel physically ill. I am on the verge of tears constantly and all I want to do is sleep but, can't. Every little thing is setting me off. I'm not a pleasant person to be around.
