I am sick and feel terrible. I’m not a big baby when it comes to being sick but the constant hacking and sniffing has made my throat, nose and eyes pretty raw. I want nothing more than to go back to bed all day long. Not happening, though. Allison and Eva went back to school today because North Attleboro could clear their sidewalks properly, a feat that Attleboro won’t be able to do for a while now, especially when they plow in charitable minded citizens who clear sidewalk paths for the neighborhood. I’m still annoyed at that one.
I did manage to get a little bit of sleep time today because Andrew is still under the weather and he went down for a nap after lunch. Which meant that I could sleep a little, too. And I did. Even if it was for an hour, I needed it.
Andrew and I had a nice breakfast this morning with my sister, Tara and her husband, Erik at Morin’s. Andrew was very excited to enjoy hot dogs (sausages) and eggs with his Aunt and Uncle. It was nice to have breakfast together and catch up. Andrew was his usual impish self which is entertaining. Stressful for me at times but entertaining.
We went home and watched a couple of shows together. I was going to take Andrew up to Patriot place but as soon as I drove around the block he fell asleep. I figured I would go home and put him into bed and try and get some shuteye for myself. Bad idea. Andrew slept for a few hours and I laid down with my eyes closed for an hour and a half and no sleep would come. Can’t ever win. On the days when I am falling down asleep he’s wide awake and when he sleeps peacefully for a couple of hours I got no sleep to speak of.
