On the Stage

I know every person has their own story as to why they don't get as much sleep as they should, or why they get up in the middle of the night...Jody, come on, you're pregnant and then after the whole pregnancy thing you're going to have to have the kid too, so you won't be sleeping sound for many a night...doug, kind of works the same way for you...Meritt, I could make up some story now about why you don't sleep through the night, but I haven't heard anything as to why you wouldn't, and I haven't met you in person yet, so...congratulations on sleeping through the night! :-)

Normally, I do, no problem. I love sleep, I'm good at it. But these past 7 days, Kaia has been getting up to cough, and last night was the worst so far. Today V is going to call the pediatrician and have him write something up and fax it to Target so we can get our little girl all fixed up, because it's bad and we feel so bad for her.

Last night it was 5 am again when she got up. Mommy, being the good Mommy she is, got up with Kaia and rocked with her because her coughing was so bad. What a sweet Mommy. So I was only up for like 10 minutes and then I woke up briefly when V came back to bed after putting Kaia back to bed. But...after 7 nights in a row of disruptive sleep, and not the wake up and go right back to bed kind either, it really messes with you.

Rehearsal went well last night, I did some good things and felt good about some of the things, some of the things I didn't like, but I guess there's still time. I did do my first two characters sans script, so that felt good. I had some flubbs, but it was my first time trying it sans script.

I'm really not all that entertaining today or these past few days either...sorry people...I guess not a lot besides lack of sleep, sickness and rehearsal are going on in my life
