i have insomnia.
i have been dealing with this for about 2+ years and i am sick of it. i take an ambien nightly, and while it does give me some sleep,it is usually only 4 hours of straight sleep. then i wake up about 15-20 times until it is time to get up. needless to say,every day i am exhausted!!!! i wanna nap daily,so i lie down and of course do not fall asleep. because i need that small white pill to actually MAKE me fall asleep!!! it is a vicious cycle. i know i need to get a sleep study, but my insurance coverage of it sucks!!!
anyway.....i am very excited about Obama and his nomination last night. although Hillary's speech gave me goosebumps and wanting to stand up and cheer. i am ready to get this election show on the road,ready for change! i want to get yard signs and a magnet for my car,but brian feels that we would be a target for someone to vandal our property....whatever happened to free speech??? he likes to remind me that we live in TX and us being democrats is NOT the norm. i will still put out signs and share my political views with people who ASK, i am not the type of person who feels the need to shove my ideas and views down other peoples throats.
well i am off to start my sleepy day~peace

Cool blog Mandy! Thanks for sharing it with me! I've lost lots of sleep too this week over the school, but it's going to all worth it!
See I can't even type right I'm so tired. What I meant was..it's going to all worth it! Good night!
I'd go all political on you but I'm not awake enough to do it despite drinking THREE sodas with caffeine (DUDE! I do NOT need to drink caffeine!) HOWEVER YEAH for standing up for what you want in a land of oh no nos. Come move up here where no one gives a rip who you wanna vote for and is more than happy to have a heated debate about who's right, then get a coffee afterwards.
For the record? I'm really bummed I missed Hilary's speech. And I'm double bummed butthole Obama didn't pick her as VP because DAMN what a team that would've made.
OH! AND DUDE! The tired business! Get your ass back to your dr and try a DIFFERENT sleep medication. There are tons out there to try. ambien is not the end all be all. And if you've tried them all? Go back and try them again.
I sleep horrible (anxiety plus kids who don't sleep through STILL is a dangerous combo for sleeping) but a good nighttime routine, lots of white noise, and going to bed BEFORE i'm tired has helped a lot.
And when I was in the cuckoo bin they DID give me sleep meds and damn if I could only remember the name because in a super anxious not at home location? those suckers knocked me OUT....and while I woke a little hung over I was FINE once I showered.
