So, some of you know exactly what's going on, and others have just heard me talk about the things at the new job going all pear-shaped as of last week. For reasons that should be obvious (given that this is the internet), I'm not going to go into detail here, but I will say that things are Officially Not Good.
On top of (1) family stress and (2) health stress, I now have (3) job stress.
Is it any wonder that I'm not sleeping nights?
I have no trouble falling asleep once I go to bed, but I wake up about every two hours. And while I generally fall asleep not quite right away but soon enough, it's the constant waking up that's annoying. And the fact that the last time I wake up tends to be around 4:40 a.m. when my alarm is set for 5:35 a.m. is EXTREMELY annoying.
Equally annoying is that Felix doesn't understand the difference between "time to get up, Mom!" and "no! Mommy is still trying to sleep. I love you a lot but GO. AWAY." There have been a couple of nights where I've nearly locked him out of the bedroom. He tries to burrow under the blanket, which means that he digs at my neck and arms, to get under the RIGHT layer, but this is annoying because I KNOW (from prior experience) that this will end with him getting under the blanking, turning a few circles, crawling over my body, then deciding this is at all what he wanted, and then coming back up for air (by crawling back over my head). So I'm trying to nip this in the bud by just not letting it start. Blech.
Then I end up going to work feeling like I got next to no sleep.
Fun times.
