Wine and Zyrtec do not mix

This morning before we went to a friend's house for lunch, I took a Zyrtec to battle some allergy issues that started this week. While at lunch, I had 1.5 glasses of wine over a 4 hour period. Well, let me tell you, by the time we got home, I was so tired I just couldn't keep my eyes open. I tried to stay up, but by 6 PM I was done and just had to go to bed. Now, if I had been able to just stay asleep, all would've been fine. Yes, I would wake about 4 AM, but that would be ok.

Only, at about 8:30 PM, my oldest comes into the room and says, "Mom, Dad and I cannot find K." K is our almost 4 year old. Of course, I said, "what do you mean, you cannot find K?" They proceed to tell me that they've searched the house everywhere and cannot find him, that they were reading a story together and K decided he was tired and going to bed. My husband was ready to get in the car and go searching, thinking he must have left the house. Cue panicky Mom here!!!! But, I held my wits about me enough to go to K's room and check his bed. Sure enough, he was fast asleep in his bed, but under the covers. Apparently, the boys only did a visual inspection, not thinking to feel the lumps of the bed to see if it might actually be K. Whew, no lost baby!!! Of course, I was never able to go back to sleep after that. So, here I sit catching up on this blog. . . .Perhaps I shall try to sleep now, after checking in on the boys one more time. G'night. . . .
