Sweet Catastrophe

or more accurately, drunk on otc sleeping pills! I’ll use an otc sleep aid about once every two months or so. Last night I was bored out of my mind but not tired enough to sleep yet so I popped two pills. Oops! I only meant to take one, that’s the dosage– but I was out like a light!!

I probably would’ve been great if Willow hadn’t come into the room and started attacking a potato chip bag. I woke up and I have never felt so drunk and simultaneously coherent at the same time; It was a nutty feeling! I don’t think even the strongest, best diet pills on the market could’ve affected me the way these things did!

I crawled back into bed and for what felt like an hour (but was really only about 10 minutes) I tossed and turned and my eyes just kept popping open on their own! I’m surprised I didn’t wake Ryan up with my whiny, drunken pleading, “I just want to sleeeeeep!” “Why won’t my eyes stay shuuuuuuut??” Even at the time I knew in the back of my mind that it was a pretty hilarious situation. I mean, something in the pills, I guess whatever was making me feel so drunk, was pushing me to get up and the rest was pushing me to sleep. Epic battle, I tell ya!
