What a day..

Last night I had a revolving door on my bedroom. I got virtually no sleep. I went to bed around 10 or so only to be woken up by my husband around 12. No need to tell you what for but I shut that down faster than ever. He did apologize, which I appreciate. He said he just woke up and that's all he could think about....I told him to think about ice cream and go to sleep!! He did. Sorry if TMI.

Cohen came in around 1 or 2 and I made Bubba take him back to bed. Caleb came in shortly after and I took him back. He asked me to lay with him so I did for a minute...or 30.

Woke up to Kinley crying. She NEVER waked during the night, she kept grinding her teeth so I think she is teething. She did wake up stuffy though. I had to rock her to sleep which took some time to accomplish.

Finally get back in bed and start to drift off and here comes Cohen again. I take him back, he goes right to sleep.

I get back in bed start to drift off and Kinley starts crying again. I lay there Praying to God for her to fall back to sleep. Nope crying gets louder and more intense. I go get her and bring her to my bed to nurse her. She eats and whimpers and finally falls asleep, I put her back in bed. She sleeps the rest of the night.

I go to sleep for an hour or so and here comes Caleb again. By this time I give up and let him sleep with us. I'm so stinking tired I would let the dog sleep with us. Next thing I know I hear the alarm. It's 530. I don't give a shit. I go back to sleep and Bubba wakes me at 615. I get up at 630. Of course I'm grumpy as all get out, I have big dark circles under my eyes and everyone else in the house seems to be on cloud NINE!!! UGH. I just want to go back to bed.

This brings me to my morning. Which is NO better. I get here and there are a million orders to enter and I'm super busy. I don't' have a Pharmacist or a tech to help, which is fine but he wont be in until 10 or so and I have nurses with issues I need solved. Anyway, I start to unit dose Maalox....and manage to spill the entire 16 oz bottle in my lap!!!! HOLY SHIT, it is freezing cold and I'm sure has some kind of menthol something or other in it because it is burning my legs. I call for back up scrubs. The pants are 3 feet too wide and 4 inches too short, the shirt could fit three of me, I'm glad I have my jacket to cover up a bit of this hideousness. I didn't' get IV"S out until 1110. I didn't get to pump until 1130, an HOUR late. I made all kinds of mistakes and I'm so freaking irritated about them I could scream!!! Simple mistakes the kind you can't believe you made because any idiot could take one glance at it and get it right!!!

Bubba called and said Trinity called him because Cohen has bitten someone. UGH. He went to the office Friday because he sat in time-out THREE times before lunch for pulling hair!!!!

I need a vacation...

It's 12:42 and I'm going to lunch, see ya.
