Oh, I Am In A Pickle!

Here’s the deal, I have been up for almost 40 hours. I worked night-shift at the ol’ poopy paradise on Saturday night. I didn’t get a nap on Saturday afternoon because we took The Tribe to the circus. The Big Guy laughed and smiled like a child, very cute indeed! We blew about $150 there, not including the tickets. Are we suckers or what? The things we do for the little snot noses.
The Big Guy called me at work around 9 PM, he was moaning and carrying on, “I am so sick, I am throwing up and feel soooo bad. The girls are still up and everything hurts”. “And just what the shit do you want me to do about it, I am at work, I am sorry you feel bad.” I know, where’s the compassion? I used it all up on my really sick patients, sorry.
This means that I did not get to sleep today. The Big Guy was in bed most of the day, that bastard. Needless to say, I had no patience with The Tribe. Why can’t they understand how tired I was today? I guess that is part of the beauty of being a kid.
So here I am, Sunday night at 10 PM and I am having a big ol’ anxiety attack. I think I am having chest pains.
Does anyone remember the show Designing Women? You know the southern women with the interior design business and the man who drove their delivery truck, Anthony. Well, I am interviewing Ms. Delta Burke tomorrow about her diabetes.
I write a diabetic blog called Diabetes Notes for b5media. Yeah, thats right, this mommy nurse gets paid to write a blog. Take that Big Guy, LOL!!! Anyway, being a nurse and having type 2 diabetes, I actually enjoy researching this topic.
I know, what kind of sick flippin’ lady likes to read about disease? This one- I am pointing to thumbs at my chest with a big cheesy smile on my tired ass face.
I…am…in…a…pickle. Do I look over the stuff for tomorow’s interview and actually prepare ahead of time, or do I go the hell to sleep and just cram it in before the day gets going in the AM? Oh, what an earth shattering decision that has to be made! LOL.
OK, official decision has been made. I just dozed off typing this, so if it is totally whacked out, have a good laugh on me. Hells yeah, I am going to sleep. Nighty night mes amis!!!

Oh shite! I don’t miss the days of spending all day in school, working the night shift, and then coming home to kids and no hope of sleep. My heart goes out to you! If we were neighbors, I would totally take your kids for the day so you could get some sleep:-)
Can’t wait to hear how the interview went!!
Thanks, I feel better now after a good nights sleep. I think I might have caught what my hubby had so it should be fun, “Excuse me Mrs. Burke, blah in the toilet”. Oh well, at least it will make a funny story.
