Wow am I tired. I fell asleep with S in his bed around 9:45 and woke up wide awake at 1:00 am. I got on the boards, took a load of laundry out of the washer, and washed a sink full of dishes. Tried to go back to bed at 2:10, but was still awake at 3.
At that time, my S came in my room. He was wide awake. Had a bad dream. Said he and I were in the living room and a big spider was on the floor. I tried to kill it with a stick and the stick kept breaking when I tried to hit the spider. So the spider crawled across the floor, up his leg and onto his chest. Then he woke up.
I know I am reading into this wayyyyyyyyyyyyy too much. But it instantly made me think of our M situation. I am trying to save my son from being hurt by us getting a divorce but my efforts haven't been entirely successful. So despite mom's best efforts, the "spider" of our D may still come and get my S......Okay again I know that may be a stretch. But it is true, I am running around trying different "sticks" (approaches) to keep the worst from happening but my S is still getting hurt.....
So needless to say I was then awake until 3:30. At that point my D began having a coughing fit in her bedroom. I think she has a mild case of croup. She coughed for 15-20 seconds at a time, every 90 seconds or so, until 4. Which is when I finally fell asleep. But had to get up at 5:30. Did I mention I am tired?
My mind is just going a mile a minute and my efforts to make it "sit still" haven't worked.
