Today started off fairly well. Got up, enjoyed breakfast with my family, nice long shower and then got the Irish stew started. Around that time is when things started going downhill. Erynn was very emotional and everything was making her cry. Luckily Jen worked on lunch while I worked on getting some pics on our Shutterfly website. But I started feeling rough myself around that time. We managed to get ready for a party Erynn had to attend but we almost did not get out of the garage because Erynn had another meltdown and I had to dig deep to put on the patient face. The party was fun for the kids and Erynn had a great time even though she was in tears at least 4 times during it. I noticed later that I was not the only mother who looked like she was tired and needed a break.
I just felt like today that I would easily lose my mind. No true pain today but the meds effect my sleeping patterns and when I want to sleep I have a child to spend time with or am at work. At night when I should want to sleep, it takes a little more effort and I don't sleep longer than a couple of hours at a time before I wake up again! Therefore Tyken's Rift. Of course, only truly devout Trekkers will understand this reference. Honestly, I remembered the episode and not what exactly caused it so I looked it up. In the 4th Season of Star Trek:The Next Generation, there was an episode where the whole crew started acting crazy and violent. Eventually they figured out that they were caught in Tyken's Rift and were not getting REM sleep. I always remember this episode when I am waking up constantly in the middle of the night. So today I will be Dr. Crusher and push through until it is resolved.
Get me out of the Rift!
