Miss my bubbs, and sleep

Its late, well, late for me. And I just got home from judging. Kids are already in bed :( Russ is at class. And I feel like I've been living on motrin/Excedrine Migraine and caffeine for the last 2 days so I'm by no means tired. So, I'm sitting here wishing I could go wake my bubbs up just to see him smile and wrap his little arms around my neck for a big hug. Instead, I'll just sit here and think about tomorrow...BUT oh yeah, I have to judge AGAIN. Blah! I'm over judging season. I'm over winter and having to drive in this crap!


Enough complaining. I need to keep my eye on the prize. Only 2 more weeks of judging (actually, only one more meet, one more meeting and regionals) then gymnastics is over!



Here's some off topic randomness (because I have a lot of random thoughts when I get migraines - just can't stop thinking and my mind races constantly). I went to the doctor yesterday for my annual check up (so that I qualify for premium insurance rates - just a hoop to jump through for better medical coverage). Everything was fine, BP, weight, the whole shebang. Until the doc started asking me if I'm getting enough sleep. Really? Do any of us get enough sleep? And how much is considered enough. At this point in my life if I slept for 12 hours straight I think I'd wake up and still be tired from not having caught up on the lack of sleep that I've accumulated over the last 3 years. LOL. The doc went on to say that the lack of sleep, compounded with stress (aka doing too much) contributes to my migraines. Makes sense huh? Now, I'm not an unreasonable person, and I listened to her, but really, how does this diagnosis help me? So I ask, can you give me more hours in a day? To which she replied NO, because you'd just fill it with more activities! HA! This is probably true.



So, I'm going to end on a positive note and mention a few things that make me smile and that I'm thankful for...

I am so sorry to hear that you continue to have migraines. :( Hopefully, once judging come to an end, you can have some time to relax and pamper yourself!
