So, the girls both had bouts of asthma last night that kept us up all night. You enter this strange state when you’re up every two hours administering breathing treatments — the night stretches on into infinity and you are neither awake or asleep, but somewhere in between.

Now, the girls are so doped up on Albuterol Sulphate, that they can’t sleep. They just talk and talk and talk, while my body cries out for rest. Is it any wonder they didn’t sleep when they were getting breathing treatments every four hours around the clock as infants? There’s got to be a better way to control breathing disorders that doesn’t require a stimulant like Albuterol, or steroids.

If there’ s a hell on earth, its two toddlers who can’t sleep, but need to, and two adults that can’t stay awake. And I’m expected to go to work in the morning?
