sleeplessness

For the past three nights I have woken up at around 3 a.m. to go and pee, then I can't go back to sleep. My mom told me to put a notebook by my bed and write down what I'm thinking about and then I'll be able to go back to sleep. I tried it out last night and I think that advice would have worked, if not for the major case of sore stomach and diarrhea, which was probably brought on by eating too much kimchi and tofu soup earlier in the night. Poor Dave has had to wake up with me, deal with me turning on the light, and last night he had to rub my back as I suffered in diarrhea pain. So today I'm rendered pretty useless, although we did go to an early dentist appointment, picked up Tash, went to the pool, made banana bread, and watched American Gangster. Luckily, for the most part I was in a horizontal position and got to take a nap at the pool while Tash and Dave swam. I'm going to try my best tonight to get a good night's rest...I get too dang fussy when I'm tired and we don't need me to be any more fussy than I already am. It's embarrassing to throw a tantrum like a 3 year old at my age...pray for me to get some good rest!!!
