The kids and I got back from visiting family in MI yesterday. I forgot their airbeds, sheets, and all of M's clothing [fail]. P and I are on couches, while M and A are in our queen size airbed. We woke up this morning, got ready, I dropped P off at her best friend's house, and M and I ran errands... for 6 hours. He was a champ, totally did better than I did. We ran to the local kids' consignment shop first and got him a few outfits for the few days we are spending here before heading back to MI. He was totally geeked to find a shirt from the Qatar Foundation (soccer shirt)!
We (this means I) scheduled P's birthday party along with our farewell to the Fort (Ft. Wayne) party for this Sunday. M and I ran all over town gathering the supplies we needed to make P's celebration awesome and to entertain and feed 50ish people. I'm a quality time person and I keep wondering how I am going to manage the party details plus getting to see and chat with everyone in only 3 hours. It's important because this will be the last time we see most of these people before we leave [sniff sniff]. I'm doing most of the prep work tomorrow, so that I can actually enjoy the party. This means I need to get up and get going in the morning, but here I am (2:00am) blogging instead of sleeping...
I'm tired, my eyes droop, I feel sleep coming... and then. Nothing. The kids will be up in 5 hours, so I'll be up in 5 hours, and yet I can't get to sleep. I went to my doctor just for a consult before we leave and he suggested some medicine to help me sleep. I've tried taking it, but it doesn't seem to have much effect. I can only hope that when we arrive in Qatar I don't need to sleep for a month straight.
