NYQUIL can suck it!

 UPDATE: It has been brought to my attention that the FULL LITTLE MEDICINE CUP of Nyquil that I drank is more than DOUBLE the normal FULL dose and that I probably came close to a Nyquil coma. Just thought I would share that with you. Totally NOT Nyquil's fault at all. As seeing as I was a nurse for 17 years you would think I would have read the dosage instructions. NOPE. Not me. Fill the cup, drink the cup, go to sleep.


I had an upset stomach last night. I took my evening medications as usual (one of which makes me sleepy) and proceeded to throw up one hour later. Not knowing if or how much of the pill got absorbed I didn't want to retake all my meds. I decided to just take a Lunesta sleeping pill to help me sleep in case I had indeed thrown up my medicine. An hour later I threw up again. There goes the Lunesta. At that point I was concerned because I have insomnia so bad I won't fall asleep AT ALL if I don't have something to help put me to sleep. So I decided to break open a new bottle of Nyquil we have had in the cabinet for probably 8 months. (We don't really use Nyquil so I am not sure why I ever bought it) So I took a dose of Nyquil and DIDN'T throw up after that. (It just gave me heartburn and burned my esophagus as if I had taken some shots of Whiskey) About an hour later I was ready for bed. I must have slept well because I didn't wake up all night, and when my alarm went off this morning I actually hit snooze on my phone. I never hit snooze when my alarm goes off. I turn the alarm off and get right out of bed. I don't phuck around. I got up, got the kids up, made them some cereal (I was too sleepy to make them anything else) and I laid back down on the couch while they were eating and told the boy child if I fell asleep to wake me up at 7:30. SO in perfect form, being afraid of being late, he wakes me at 7:20. So I had not even really fallen asleep. I got up and took the kids to school and came back home and crawled directly into bed to take a long morning nap. I slept from 8:00 to 10:50. Almost 3 hours. And now as I sit here just after NOON I still feel sleepy like I could go lay back down and take another nap. Like I said, we don't ever use Nyquil so I didn't know what to expect but I think it sucks ass since I feel groggy and hungover. Now in defense of Nyquil (gotta be fair) I am not sure how much of my other meds had actually gotten into my system before I threw up so it could have been a combination of meds AND Nyquil that made me so sleepy. But for now I am going to say Nyquil can SUCK IT.

In other news...2 weeks ago I ordered (online) our tickets for Cirque du Soleil La Nouba show that we are going to in Orlando in October and the tickets came in a few days ago. They were addressed to my husband so I didn't open it, but he opened it and told me "it's some Disney shit" and it was 5 credit card looking cards glued to a piece of paper. I hope they let you keep the cards after you use them to get in. I would like to have one to put in our photo album with the pictures we are going to take while at Disney.

It's just 49 days until time for us to go to Disney!! It's almost here. I am getting more and more excited the closer we get to time to go. I get a nervous stomach and feel like I need to crap myself when I think about flying by myself with the 3 kids, all of whom have never flown and all of whom are scared shitless we are going to crash and die when we fly to Orlando. My husband is driving from his job in another state directly to Disney and we are all flying from here in our state. That way we will get to fly (get there quicker) but we will also have a car while we are there. Win win.

I haven't heard anything from anybody at the school since I sent the letter to DD's bitch ass teacher. The guidance councilor nor the principal have called me to discuss it. DD said she had a substitute yesterday, the bitch teacher was absent, and it made her day so much better not having to deal with her. She said although nothing out of the ordinary happened, it was the best school day of her life because she got relief from the evil witch. That's pretty phucked up that a bitch teacher can affect a kid so strongly like that to where the kid gets upset and stressed to every day having to deal with her. DD said ALL THE KIDS hate this teacher. But the school is not going to do anything about her. Hopefully things will get somewhat better for her or if not, I will call and make an appt to have a parent teacher conference. Weekly if need be.

I will keep you updated as things happen.
