Sleepless in Michigan

Well it's just after 5 a.m. here and I have been awake now since just after 1 a.m.  I have gotten just over two hours of sleep.  Why? You ask.  Well just after 1 a.m. Jarod started crying and complaining of his stomach hurting.  And I am sure you guessed it he got sick.  Thankfully it's only been that one time but he is sleeping on the couch right now as I watch over him.

What makes it worse is we still have no water.  It is still frozen in the well.  So after making sure Jarod was done being sick I had to fill the toilet up with water to flush it then after all that (just after 2 a.m.) I started getting our buckets and going outside to collect snow to melt to put in empty gallon milk jugs to once again fill the toilet.  Then of course I had to get even more snow to melt so we have enough if and when we have to flush the toilet.

I finally got finished with all that after four a.m. but now of course I am to wound to even think about going to sleep.  Was planning to go to church today but I don't think that is happening.  I am debating whether or not I should have Chord stay home from church too just in case he comes down with it.  I would hate for him to spread it around.  He doesn't seem to be sick but one can never tell.

I think Jarod got it from his cousin.  They were over there yesterday after Harlow took them to get their haircut.  Then Saturday we went over there to take showers since we don't have water yet.  Their cousins were just getting over being sick I guess and I think Jarod picked it up.

I am praying it won't be bad through since he hasn't been getting sick since just after one a.m.  If Chord does get it I hope it's not bad either.  I mean it's bad enough (and I do feel so bad for the poor little guy) that he is sick but then to have no water on top of that.  Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy NOT!  I hope your Sunday will be better than how mine has started.  Please excuse me if I am just rambling on here with lack of sleep an all LOL.

UPDATE:

As of just after 9 a.m. this morning we now have water!!  Yeah!!!  As for the question Madame asked me on where I live.  Well we live toward the country more.  We live close to two towns so not way, way out in the country but the country no less.  We use the well water for our showers and for cooking and drinking we have the Culligan water we buy.  The dishes are also done with the well water.  Other than tasting badly it's the same as running city water.  Just the pipes from the well froze and the Landlord had to thaw it. Our Landlord, The duplex across from us (the Landlord owns that too)and us all share the same well so we were all without water.  Thankfully all is good now and we have water.  Now if only we can get rid of this sickness and no one else get sick that would be great!!  Keep us in your prayers :).

Blah Day

It really wasn't a bad day. It was just a day that made me feel blah I guess. We went to the Laundromat to do laundry and also did school with the boy's there. The day was a very dreary day though. It only rained a little today but it was cloudy and no sun out. When there is no sun out I seem to be more tired and blah in feeling then I do when it's out shining. I felt so tired today even though I got enough sleep last night. Or at least I think I did LOL. I don't remember waking up at any time. All though I do remember dreaming a lot. Maybe that and the weather had a lot to do with it.
Other than going to the Laundromat we didn't do much. I mean we did finish up school when we got home but not much after that. I didn't do much of anything else at all. Tomorrow I will concentrate on getting the house in order. It's not horrible but it does need to be straitened. I was just feeling to blah today. Ok I am sure you are board of hearing my blah day so I will stop now LOL. Tomorrow is another day!!!

Been so Tired and Hair Cut and Dyed

The last two day's I have not been sleeping very well. I don't know why though. I haven't been worried about anything or feel overwhelmed or anything. I probably need to do some exercises or something so I get more tired?! I would be sleeping and then all of a sudden I would wake-up. Hubby says I am not snoring so that can't be why I am waking-up. It's only been the last two day's though. Hopefully tonight I will sleep better or at least find out why I am not sleeping well. That's why I didn't get a chance to blog yesterday. I was just too tired. LOL.
On other news, I got my hair cut and dyed today. It's the shortest I have ever had it but it so needed it!! I haven't cut my hair in about a year because honestly who has the time when you are a SAHM, and homeschool mom LOL. Any time I would think about it, it was when we were doing something else. After many dye jobs and other abuse I did to my hair it was very damaged LOL. Hubby got sick of finding my hair every where too LOL. I am a heavy set person to put it politely (lol) and I probably shouldn't have cut it so short because honestly it shows my neck too much but it's not bad actually. I really do like it. Besides like I said it desperately needed it. I probably shouldn't have dyed it again either but hey at least it was a darker color so no ammonia in it. It's definitely a change. That's ok though because in most cases I like change. I grew-up an army brat so change is definitely an old friend of mine LOL. Well that's all I can think of right now to post. Maybe whenever I get enough sleep I will have more to talk about LOL.
