H e-mailed me Friday morning to ask about taking DS today, Sunday. I said yes, then asked if he was ok. He said he was fine, the doctor made it sound worse than it was and they just need to rerun some of the tests. I hope he's not lying to me.
I think in all the time since we changed to this every other weekend schedule H has not once gone the entire Thursday night to Wednesday afternoon without seeing DS. It seems like he always has some excuse to switch nights or get DS for extra time.
DS was not happy that H cancelled on him on Thursday. He is adamant that his father didn't have a doctor appointment, said that his daddy just didn't want to see him. I assured him that was wrong, that daddy really did want to see him but his doctor needed to see him, too.
Took DS to the amusement park yesterday, he loved it. I promised to take him again in two weeks if the weather is cooperative.
Dropped off DS with H today. Before we went DS was saying he didn't want to go, he wanted to stay with me. On the way to the exchange point DS asked if we could invite H on our next field trip to the amusement park. I told him that would probably not be a good idea right now, but maybe some day in the future. DS was excited to see his father and went without any problems. Picked him up at 4, he was being silly and refused to give his father a hug good-bye. H coaxed a hug out of him, and we left. DS asked again why we couldn't invite his father to go to the amusement park with us and I explained that his daddy is not part of our family anymore, that he and I are one family, and he and Daddy are a different family. Kep my interactions with H brief and about DS only.
When we got home DS was upset, said that he wanted to spend all day with me but Daddy time ruined it, that he doesn't like Daddy days anymore he just wants to be with me. I explained to him that his daddy loves and misses him so he should go visit Daddy so Daddy doesn't get sad. Took a bit of coaxing but I got him to understand and calm down. Well, calmed down at least. Not sure how understanding he is being. My kid can be pretty stubborn.

Today wasn't such a great day. Just feeling really emotional and missing H. I think it's a combination of PMS and missing my pills more than I remembered to take them this past week. I just really want him to come back.

Mystik, even 2 years in, I still have sleep afternoons. I couldn't survive without them.
Some of it is medication for some people anti-d's can mess with your sleep... either needing none, or lots. Don't be afraid to be good to yourself. It takes a while to get out of the nap phase, once you don't need it as much, but... it's a good way for you to take some time for you.
*hugs*

Sleep is the hardest thing for me. I fall asleep easily enough, but almost always wake up around 1-2am. Then it's hard to fall back asleep. I really don't want to take any prescription stuff, but the Simply Sleep over the counter stuff doesn't help with long sleep.
I have the same problem. I find that benedryl, the allergy medication helps me fall asleep. It is what the doctor recommended for my daughter when she was 2 to help her sleep at night.
Some natural sleep aids that I used were herbal teas SleepyTime by Celestial Seasons and I still take Valarium. You can find these and the grocery store.
Go to a natural foods store and ask for sleep aids. I like the Valarium b/c I don't have that groggy feeling when I wake up.
Also as TIMEHEALS suggested, the exercise and healty eating works too. balance.

I find that if I work my butt off (almost literally) excercising, I can almost fall asleep standing up
If I work too hard, however, the pain of getting out of bed in the morning is rough. I have two dogs that insist I do get up, so I don't induldge in sleeping in.
