Dear Horrible Night of Sleep:

Have you ever been pregnant? Oh, you haven’t? Let me tell you something about being pregnant. It makes you tired. And by “tired” I mean so tired that you can’t hardly function. You need your sleep. You need it like Kirstie Alley needs a Big Mac. I went to bed last night thinking that I would gingerly fall fast asleep and have no issues until the alarm went off the next morning. What in the world was I thinking?

I realize The King isn’t feeling too well. That is why I suggested he take drugs to help him sleep last night. Not too sure why he choose not to do that. Especially when if I get sick, I *won’t* be able to take those same drugs (so, I’d better not get sick). But did you have to make his nose run all night, and the noises coming out of his mouth. Were they necessary? Seriously?

And what’s with the cat? He has a tummy ache. I know this now. I know this because he made it a point to heave and hack RIGHT next to the bed. And after The King got up at 2:00 to clean it up, the cat did it again. This time not only did he do it right next to the bed, but he moved around a lot, as to make many piles that I had to step over when I got up to pee. Nice.

I am a bad person. I tried to nicely ask The King to move upstairs to the guest bed. I appreciate that he did this. This made it much nicer, immediately. Until some idiots decided to have a discussion in the road outside my bedroom window. Believe me, voices carry when the rest of the world is silent.

I should also be mad at the alarm clock for going off at 5:08 this morning, just like all the other mornings. But he didn’t know what a horrible night it had been. He thought he was doing what I wanted him to do.

Please see what you can do tonight. I don’t think I could put up with you again. Two nights in a row is too much at this point.

sincerely,

Isabel

P.S. Yes, I realize that once I get a take-home baby we will be seeing more of each other. But the world sucks and I haven’t gotten a take-home baby, yet. The world owes me some sleep.
