Blue Eyes is right, you need to find a way to get some sleep (both for your own stress and to make you better able to help your mom). Maybe slow music or meditation would help.

I just caught up with your blogs.I'm so sorry about your mom.You are not alone though,We'll carry you through this .Blessings and strenght to you .Congrats on going to France - you deserve some good news.

HUGS honey I am so sorry you have to go through this, btu as long as you're stuck with the attention, use it. Go tell the counselor you're too overwhelmed to work and need to lie down someplace quiet and peaceful ...then take a nice long nap!

It's strange but it's always easier to deal with things like illness and death when you're young. So much innocence and naive perspective...makes ya wonder where it goes:(

Still...not getting enough sleep is not going to do either you or your mom any good, vampirechick88. Something like a sleeping pill is not really the answer since it's only temporarily solving the problem itself and not the causes. Could always try to just run yourself to exhaustion each day so you reach Nod easier...but that's got its dangers too:(

Really? We're here and we want to carry you when you can't crawl anymore. We'll make sure the journey's soft:)
