We Temporarily Moved Out...

It's been 2 weeks now since we started living at my mom's house. My 2 kids and I moved out because our house is currently on renovation. My husband would only come to my mom's place after his office hours up till night but go back to house to sleep there to make sure our things are still safe. Our bedrooms were untouched, only our living room, our kitchen and garage were altered.

Before we live in that house, it was already planned by my husband's family to turn the house into a duplex type. It was actually big for us but now that it's renovated, our house got smaller and only our rooms remained big. On the brighter side, I've less area to clean :-)

I've a hard time blogging anytime at my mom's place for I'm always sleepy. You see, I'm the one taking care of the baby at night when she asked for milk or when she wanted me to cuddle her. Then I've to wake up early in the morning, on or before 5 am to prepare things for Chloe who I will drive to school on or before 7 am. Her school is far from my mom's place. Unlike in our house, it would only take 5-10minutes to drive her to school.

When the clock strikes 9:30 pm, I'm already sleepy for I lack sleep. Good for my husband, he's having great sleep back at home! sigh.. I wish this renovation thing will be over so that I can go back to my usual routine =)

I Lack Sleep!


I'm a light-sleeper, but actually, my sleeping pattern is not really that good. When I started having my hospital duty last January, I was able to sleep earlier after a very tiresome day. However, lately, I've been having some sleep deprivation. I easily woke up in the wee hour of the morning and I can't go back to sleep anymore.

And just this week, my husband got sick that I kept on checking on him at night (not to mention that I need to be up at 4:30 a.m. to ready myself before going to the hospital). The following night, I wasn't able to sleep early because I was busy preparing my daughter's things needed for their Recognition Day on Thursday. Anyways, my husband slowly recuperated and my daughter's activity ended so all the while I thought I could finally go to sleep early. Then, I got a terrible headache due to cold. I slept early but my sleep was very erratic. But despite that, I still went and reported to the hospital and even scrubbed for 5 hours.

And last night, I was too eager to go to sleep early even though it was a Friday. I was so tired that my eyes can't take it anymore and so I dozed off around 9:30 p.m. But at 12 midnight, I woke up and found Chloe having some chills. Oh my, I just realized that my little girl got sick and I ended up having no sleep at all until this morning. I was even tempted to go blogging at dawn but my eyes were tired and weary so I decided to just lie down beside Chloe, checking her temperature to subside and waited for the time to give her next medication. Now, I'm contemplating... I don't care if I'm deprived of sleep anymore. What I care is to have my family's health back on track - and that is the most important thing to me now.
