Jan 05, 2009

Wow 2009! Here's how my year is starting -

Last night I took an Ambien before going to bed, now this is a regular thing for me unless we're traveling, don't know why but I decided long ago not to take them along on trips.

So with my previous history I know that I need to go to bed right after I take a pill or I wander around as my husband says" like a drunken fool!" I went to bed, but needed to put away clothes that I hadn't yet folded. That's all I remember.

This morning I woke up about 2:30AM to go potty and was very sore, my back ached like crazy. I went to the kitchen to get some Tylenol and noticed a SF cherry puff thing I baked last night had a chunk missing, thought that was strange since hubby doesn't like cherry stuff. I was planning to take it to my Mom. I went back to bed but was suddenly very worried I might have been the one that ate it, after that I couldn't sleep.

When the alarm went off at 4:45 I got up to fix hubby breakfast. I then asked him if he'd eaten the cherry thing. He looked at me like I was nuts! He said  - you honestly don't remember? Nope. So he proceeded to tell me how I was folding clothes and suddenly went off to the kitchen, on my way there I first walked into the wall. When I came back he said I hit the wall a few times again and then fell over the laundry basket on the floor. I lay there laughing for a bit and then crawled up into bed and kissed hubby. Then I rolled over and went to sleep. He said I was very happy the entire time, laughing away.

My worst fear came true, I ate and have no memory of doing it at all. Never in my life have I done something like that before. I can tell you all it's not going to happen again! I'd rather get NO sleep than to have that happen and I will be stopping the ambien. Scary, scary thing to think everything I've worked so hard for can be blown by just taking a sleeping pill! It stops now.
