Cursed Insomnia

Here it is, nearly 1am on a Sunday morning...and it is WAY PAST my bedtime. But it seems that sleeps intends to elude me for a while. I'm not a chronic sufferer of insomnia, so nights like this, when I know I'm tired and NEED sleep, are particularly frustrating. So I thought I'd write a bit, see if that helps clear my head.

Price seems to have come down with a bug, which is, of course, always worrisome. His eyes have been goopy for the last couple of days, and today he started up with a runny nose and general malaise. It is clear that he doesn't feel well at all, and any mother hates that.

I fear that I may be coming down with something as well...sore and scratchy throat, and feeling like I have a throat full of marbles. I worry a lot about this,...what if I've caught the one virus that could hurt the baby I'm brewing? I know that the likelihood is extremely small, but still...enough to keep me awake at night, apparently.

Constant heartburn and nausea aren't helping either. If I don't fall asleep within about an hour of eating, my stomach starts to feel yooky and I start thinking I should run downstairs and get something to eat. Three times this has happened tonight. As if I'm not already over being sick all the time. I don't need this on top of that.

OK, enough complaining. Watching Hollywoodland and eating soda crackers...and sorta wishing I could take 2 Tylenol PM and turn this insomniac night into a memory.
