Sleepless In New England

This week has just been horrible. I pretty much have not slept since Saturday night. It goes a little something like this:

Sunday night: Leave Hartford on the bus around 2:00am. The winds were blowing about 60 miles per hour, so the bus literally felt like it might flip over. This does not make for good sleeping. Gentle rocking is great- flying back and forth in the bunk is not. On top of it, the roads we were driving on were really bad. Come 5:00am, the crew bus breaks down. So our bus rescues the crew. We had 17 people on our bus. 17. We usually have six. No sleep. All night.

Monday night: Leave Salisbury MD (the most boring place I have ever been). To backtrack, I did not sleep at all during the day. I kind of got a second wind. Anyway, Corey's 2 and 3 year olds are with us, traveling on the bus. Quite challenging. They were wide awake until 2am. Then between the slamming of doors and TV's on until god knows what time, I just couldn't sleep. Do you think I could find my earplugs? No. Get to the hotel at 6:30am and one of the kids us up crying (has a cold). Sleep from about 8am until 1pm in my hotel room. I felt like a loser.

Tuesday night: Leave Wilkes Barre, PA. I have now decided to buy earplugs, use those sleeping pill things from GNC, AND drink wine. Don't judge. Desperate times call for desperate measures. So Michael and I start in on the wine, the guys are watching basketball, and the kids are little jumping beans all over the bus. Next thing you know, the 3 year old pukes. All over himself. Then the 2 year old starts scream crying. I LOVE these kids and think they are so cute, but wow. Drink more wine. Slept for about 2 hours. Got to the hotel, and once again, slept from about 8am until 1pm. I feel like a loser.

I usually love sleeping on the bus. I usually prefer it over a hotel room.

Not only am I totally screwed up on sleep, my eating schedule is off too. And I have not worked out. And I am getting work done later in the day rather than first thing in the morning.

It is now Wednesday night, and thank you GOD, I am sleeping in a hotel for the next 5 nights. I might have lost my sanity trying to sleep on the bus again with the way things have been going!
