Mornings Are Like Quicksand
Getting Caroline to wake up in the morning has been like trying to pull someone out of quicksand. She seems inexorably stuck in sleepiness. She says she isn't sleeping well at night at all. So back to the drawing board with sleep meds. I think the Rozerem might have pooped out, so to speak. This morning fogginess is leading to missed classes at the homeschooling co-op, which is so frustrating. She then gets behind in her schoolwork and we spend all week trying to get her caught up, so we don't get to other things she needs to do as well. The thing about quicksand is that the more you try to pull a victim out of it, the deeper they sink in. That seems to be true of Caroline too. Now I am sleepy and I am going to take a nap before I deal with the rest of the afternoon and evening!
