Today is not quite a good day for me. I must have woken up on the wrong side of the bed.. or should i say am suffering from lack of enough sleep. Eli did fairly well, however it is his dad that kept me up. He has sleep apnea, plain English he snores.  It is a serious condition, and if you are reading this and you  have been told by your partner you snore too loud, talk to your Dr about it. I made him go see his Dr and  he spent the night in a sleep center, where they monitored/ video taped him. He was given one of those sleep machines.. can’t think of the proper name for it now.  Anyway, the machine comes with a mask that you put around your face,  and you put  either distilled water or purified water, one of the two in that machine, so you have plenty of oxygen to breath in.  It does work. The first night he slept with it, he woke up in the morning well rested. He said he didn’t feel as tired as before.

 

So , last night… i have no idea what in the world my husband did with  his tubings , somehow they got loose and of course even though the machine is plugged in, he is snoring so loud and i can’t sleep. I Kicked him on his foot, woke him up  asked him to adjust his machine, he does it then 5 minutes later he snores again, i hit him with a pillow, he wakes up saying Sophia i have the mask on.. am like but you are snoring , do something!

 

Well, finally i fell asleep , but of course  Eli wakes up. I feed him go back to sleep then my husband snores again, this time he had removed his mask and was holding it on his chest…Arrrrrrrgh, Shiiiiiil… Thank God i didn’t wake up Julian. So he says, ok honey i will go sleep on the couch. Good Idea.  I finally sleep maybe 15 min, then i hear that snore again all the way from the living room. I woke up, find my not so nice now husband holding his mask on his chest! So i asked, did you drink tonight? He said well only a couple of beers..That explains it!  When he drinks and this is for anyone that snores, when they drink alcohol.. the snoring gets worse that day!

 

He finally wears his mask, and i go back to sleep, 530AM Julian wakes up. His dad goes to sleep in his room, but i want to sleep too. Julian goes to his dad, and kisses him on the cheek and says to him ” Daddy, Daaaddy, wake up pleeeease..I want you to wake up with me…”  Wow, i think to myself.. i can’t remember the last time Julian woke me up that nice.  Well, i went back to bed.

 

My husband woke me up to go get the flu shot. We got the flus shots  at WalGreens because my Dr’s office was out. It cost us $24.99 per person. Apparently my insurance doesn’t cover the flu shot. So this means when the H1N1 becomes available too am going to have to pay for it…Nice!  I am taking Julian on Monday to get it at the Allergist, so they can monitor him for any reactions (has egg allergy).  We all have to get the shots to protect Eli. He will not be able to get any flu shot till he is 6 months and that is in December.

Wow.. I feel much better. Thanks for letting me vent!
