I haven’t had a good night’s sleep in several days. First I was nervous about Jones’ upcoming surgery. Then I was up with him in pain. Then I had to set an alarm to keep ahead of the pain. Then last night, he slept and I didn’t. I was convinced he’d wake up “in a few minute”, when in reality he slept hours. (I’m having flashbacks to newborn days.)
The lack of sleep is making me kind of loopy, so I’m gonna bullet point it from here…
- I should have run yesterday, but I just didn’t have the motivation. I *need* to run today, but I’m still lacking in motivation.
- The saddest part is that I really don’t care.
- I’ve been slowly putting our basement back together since the renovation. Today I discovered we have record, tape, and CD versions of U2: Under a Blood Red Sky. In fact, we have two CDs since we each had a copy pre-marriage.
- Apparently I had really bad taste in music as a child. Most of my records are the K-Tel compilations.
- We don’t even have a turntable anymore, so I’m not sure why we have records.
- Jones is doing as well as can be expected for an older child having a tonsillectomy. Unfortunately, that means he still feels like crap.
- Shoo, on the other hand, has more energy than three kids. He made Beer Geek ride for hours in circles around our neighborhood this weekend. On the bright side, my dream of biking to Mad Fox Brewpub will become a reality sooner than I thought.
- Apparently when I’m overtired, I drink too much coffee, eat too many carbs, and sit on my butt. Not exactly the best half marathon training plan I’ve ever come up with.
- I need to do some work, but I’m not sure I’m coherent enough to be useful.

Hey now. Nothing wrong with 35 BIG Artists – 35 Big Hits!
I hope you're able to catch up on your sleep soon, and than Jones is recovering well! Not the most fun way to end summer vacation – for either of you.
Good to hear that Jones is recovering well. I had my tonsils out when I was 5 and just remember eating a whole lot of ice cream. Oh and the surgeon told my mom that my stuffed animal wasn't very good in the operating room but I was perfect 🙂
I had my tonsils out at 9, and I ate a whole lotta popsicles. Get well soon, kid!
Hope the recovery keeps going well and you can get some sleep. I had my tonsils out when I was 16 and it was torture – I think the older you get, the worse it is.
lack of sleep messes up EVERYTHING. Hope things calm down and you can get the sleep you need. Then things will all come together
taking care of a sick/post op kiddo is hard work. you need to cut yourself some slack. As far as the K-Tel records, I think that I had everyone and would even do concerts to them sometimes. Yep…I was the real deal.Positive thoughts coming your way.
Since I have a new baby, your sleep sounds just like mine! Hope he recovers quickly!
what a rough couple of days. Hang in there and hope you both are sleeping great tonight. 🙂
As a fellow Dude Mom, that picture is awesome! Hope everybody gets some sleep soon. That will make everything seem so much better.
