Bitten by the insomnia bug :-(

Insomnia, what a big jerk, right? Nobody wants it around, people make jokes about, and I'm sure no one would invite it over for dinner. I am awake, not tired. Well a little tired, I'm sick, and I guess with a little too much on the mind, I am here typing away, hoping somehow if I type my little fingers out, I will feel resolved of all issues, and fall hopelessly asleep. Insomnia is even less welcome to parents. How much does it suck feeling tired because you have been up since 4 am, (not from partying, because that isn't something that occurs anyway) and then little jack or jill awakens at 7 am sharp with a bolt of energy, I'm sure the barista at Starbucks hasn't had since she had to do a double shift.

I laid in bed for a while, hacking my lungs out because of this terrible cold I'm having and with the sudden urge I rush to the bathroom to throw up (something, anything, but nothing came out, not even flem) I got out of bed.

Today was an interesting day, I named it on my phone calender as Haylies Day! I drove and picked her up from school, which is something I can't do everyday. When she switches homes  her dads grandmother takes her to school and then I pick her up on most days unless there is a paycheck party at work. This is where they hand out the check stubs, announce who the employee of the month is, and do an inservice training about working as a team, or as this past weeks theme was, the new vacation benefits plan. Fridays my dad likes to pick her up because he is off (he has an amazing schedual, he's a community college proffesor) and he can spend some time with her and can take her somewhere to have fun. Tomorrow he is taking her to Chuck E Cheese. He gave her the choice of the zoo or C.E.C and yes, she chose the mouse. This Friday I happen to be off so I can pick her up and we can have another fun Haylie Day!

After I picked her up today we tried to handle the freezing cold at the park but that lasted less than 5 minutes, so I decided we should do something together, which is something she loves, so we both got hair cuts! It was fun, her bangs are a little too short, but these people aren't scientists or surgeons, and Nasa isn't missing them so it's ok, better her than me anyway. After the haircuts we met my boo at my house. He decided today wasn't a good day for him to play basketball with the group of men he plays with which ages range from 30 to 60, and include his best friend whose 20, so he came over and spent the day with us. We saw my doctor to check Haylie and make sure everything was ok with her cold. She has post nasal drip (possibly), so we bought kids Claritin. Hopefully this helps, and it's better than an antibiotic which my Dr. put me on. We went to eat at Pizza Hut, which is our spot to go. My boo LOVES pizza! Me and Haylie are crazy about the breadsticks and we dunk (not dip) our breadsticks into ranch dressing (the pizza too).

When we went back to my place we hung out with my brother, had italian ice (lemon), and watched Monsters vs. Aliens, good movie. So we had a fun time. After my boo left, me and Haylie watched TV and colored, and lastely Haylie had a bubble bath, and had story time. She fell asleep during the third book, which I always love. The only thing that I didn't have time for was doing her nails. I trim and paint her nails, sometimes she comes to my house with a fresh coat of nail polish on, but I think it's fun girls time, and it makes her happy. That is all I want, to have a happy (unspoiled) Haylie. I even remembered to wash my scrubs for the upcoming shifts! Woohoo! I'm doing good. I still need to desperatly clean up, but that I am doing tomorrow while she's at school. No actually, because it is almost 4 am, I will be asleep.
