Life lessons

I learned a great life lesson the other night. I have some serious sinus issues going on so I decided to get some clariton D to help dry it up so I can move on with my life. Well, after signing over my first born and promising that I was not going to make meth with the 10 pills I was allotted ( btw, really, who only needs 10 pills!) I went home and started thinking of how much relief I would get. Something in the back of my head told me not to take the meds in the evening but to wait until morning. Did I listen? No. I took them and figured that I was already so tired that I would have no problems sleeping. Just to be safe and since the meds had not cleared me up I took some NyQuil and went to bed. I started the hunger games that night (book not diet) and expected to fall asleep while reading. A few hours later I am still awake so I decided to put the book away and try to sleep. It works, sort of, I doze on and off the rest of the night and each time dream that I am sending each of my children off to fight to the death for our district. In short I woke up still tired, cranky and a bit confused as to why the kids were still at the house when they should have been in a battle. Life lesson number 40,294,123: don't take sinus meds chased with NyQuil before bed and then read a book, you won't sleep and when you do it will be with crazy dreams.
